Northshore Prestige is the place that imports and complies the PM35, however they currently only have automatics in stock.

Have a look at their website, might be worth giving ben a buzz and just asking for a typical ballpark figure for the 2wd Manual version.

For the RWD PM35 Autech Axis S which is the only PM35 to come in the 6-speed, you would probably be looking at high 30's.

That would be the least of your worries if you bought that car as who would comply it for you?

There is only 1 workshop with the evidence to comply this model and they are only complying vehicles they import.

So this is a misleading advert then? I remember a while back there was then same sort of thing with the PM35's going on with an importer on this forum!

So am I right in saying that Northshore Prestige is the only shop handling the PM35 ATM?

"An" importer, aye? lol.

You are correct in saying that Northshore Prestige are the only place you can get PM35 at the moment.

so are you saying that northshore prestige are the only company importing and complying PM35s??

I wrote a little comment to j-spec stating that as far as I was aware there was only one place that could compliance these and that they were only supposedly complying the cars they themselves import. This was there reply

Hi Stephen,

Yep that's absolutely correct unfortunately, they are only doing their own cars so they can mark up the prices massively and make a big profit. They've indicated they will make compliance available to other people later in the year (if someone else doesn't get compliance first).

So, if you brought this car and imported you could well be up the S#1T. Dangerous stuff really, anyway I just wanted to see what j-spec had to say about the situation.

[Stinky Rooster]

and yet they are advertising them, including an estimate for compliance, and not a whisper on the site about the fact that they cannot organise compliance?

Thats just plain fricken rude!

"Yep that's absolutely correct unfortunately, they are only doing their own cars so they can mark up the prices massively and make a big profit."

And why shouldn't Northshore only comply cars for themselves? I don't see other companies putting their hands in their pockets to get testing done.

Sounds to me like J-spec bad-mouthing because they cannot free-load off Northshore's effort.

+1 on that!

[andy65b]

Northshore are not advertising something they can not comply. Seems to me Northshore are the ones doing the right thing.

perhaps j-spec are just quoting how much it would cost by actually placing an order with Northshore...would make sense you would just say I want this car and they would turn around to Northshore and ask them to import it with them acting as a broker almost.

I see whta you are saying, but it wouldn't happen. The price quoted on the website is "landed and complied" through J-spec.

Nowhere does it "break down" the amount that Northshore would have to make in the equation.

Is this car eligible for import?

Yes, we have checked this car and it is a model eligible for import under the SEVS compliance laws.

We have also allowed $2800 for compliance, which is a reasonably typical compliance price available for this particular model.

Also, how would they know how much compliance is for a 3.5L M35?

Just as simple this time as it was last time - if you can't sell it, don't advertise it stating you can
