plenty of us in the same boat and compliance shops with no room to take any more cars in to complete the compliance work, as they can't let the cars they've done go until the compliance plates are attached :P

I'm in the same situation..

My 34 GTR is sitting at the compliance shop where its been for a month now.

just waiting for a silly compliance sticker..

They've told me they will call me when it arrives, it takes a lot of control not to annoy them everyday.

I hope i can pick it up next week.

It isn't the "sticker" they are waiting for, it is due to other reasons related to the workshop and DOTARS, once the car clears you fax off for the plate and 3 days later you have it.

Waiting for the plate as a reason is a crock, waiting for the paper work to clear or even be submitted is more the truth.

Ok yeah well whatever the reason. My beast is sitting in the workshop gathering dust.

Can't wait to pick it up and start modifying it.

When I applied for my compliance plate I was given the option to pay a little extra to get it through quicker.

Received the compliance sticker in 3 days.

that's probably because the workshop has maxed their plate allowance and they're getting them back in dribs and drabs, so who ever pays the most gets preference. There's no "fast queue" they can put you on if you pay more, except one of their own making :D

I purchased a 370GT Type-SP on the 22nd of July! It took 7 weeks to get an import certificate!

Bespoke in Adelaide said it will take roughly anywhere of up to 2 month to comply 'cause of some Victorian Government audit I didn’t want my car collecting dust and sitting in the sun, taking up space at the workshop so I applied for a Temporary Unregistered Permit on the 25th of last month then took her home Whilst I wait for the DETORS Sticker.

I have had her home in the Garage for a weeks and a half now, washed her 3 times and have had a professional car detailer come and detailer her at home (for a 6 pack ;) ). But seems like forever, every day as I wait for a Telephone call from Goran and say: “We have the sticker come and drop your car off and I’ll run her in Regency!”

Don’t by any means digest this post as a hack at Bespoke, Goran wants to be payed ASAP and it’s not in his control, plus he has great communication and can answer my every email and txt! Frigging Government employees should get off their fat ass!

Sometimes I think I should have just bought an IS-350 or 370GT locally, this car I have been funding for 3 months cannot even be driven yet (yells at the top of voice and punches desk!)

      As I've said elsewhere, I am using the stock intercooler piping path in the engine bay, and a return flow cooler, and making ~250 rwkW (without any effort put into trying to turn it up past there just yet) and expect to be able to make some more, and frankly, I would be perfectly happy with 260-270rwKW. This is peak road Skyline usability territory. You go past there and, sure, the car will snap necks more when it's on boost, but it will also break shit all the time, cost a (even larger) fortune in tyres, etc etc. Anyway, I also do not like the over-the-fan pipe path, and you don't have to do it.

      I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc.

      Not easy to quantify wrt something like how many fractions of a second slower it would be over 0-100. But given that a 250-300rwkW car is able to do that launch sprint in 5-6 sec (and faster with appropriate tyres, and surface)..... giving up as much as a second would feel like torture. A ~450HP capable turbo is not going to make lots of boost in the 2000-3000 rpm range. So, whilst with some boost on hand it will be faster accelerating in that rev range than your engine currently is NA, it will not feel like a fast car until the boost is solidly in. You know what your car feels like right now when you open it up at 2000rpm. if you've ever been in an actual fast car, you will appreciate that the NARB25 is.... not exciting. Well, add some boost and it will be better. But shorten the intake runners and it might not be better at all. It might come out better, but it could end up feeling the same. For me, it's not the 0-X km/h sprints that matter. It is easy to fry the tyres with anything over 200 rwkW. You can't use all the power available in 1st and 2nd anyway, you have to modulate the throttle. What matters is how the car reacts when you're driving in traffic in 4th or 5th and have maybe 2000 rpm on board, and you want/need to add some speed quickly, and don't have time for the downshift. It won't make boost, it will be all NA (at the speeds we're talking about - remember how fast you're going at 2000 in 4th! and don't plan on breaking the limit by too much.) So giving away NA torque is not what I would consider practical for a street car. And retaining that NA torque builds boost faster which makes the car faster. The flashy plenum is not actually better, unless you're looking at a track car where you can keep it on the boil all the time.

      So how much difference does it make you think? Like 1 second in the 0-100?  I was have smaller turbo so hopefully that spools quick GTX2871.  currently it’s NA so you can imagine pretty slow, but I do want fast accusation a little as there’s not many places I’ll be driving where I go over 80 even near me. So 0-60 and 0-80 targets

      Short inlet runners cost quite a bit. Dulls off the off-boost torque, and delays boost onset, because arrival of boost is driven by gas flow is a product of the ability to flow air which is torque. This is the reason that the stock manifolds have longer runners. On a 3L, or bigger, you can usually accept the compromise of giving away some torque because the extra capacity gives you a little extra to waste. But on a smaller motor, there's not a lot there to start with. Example, I swapped RB20 out of my R32, 25NeoDET in its place. The "wall of torque" that I experienced afterwards made it all worthwhile. That's because I came from RB20 land where torque is not a thing. But I would not do anything, anything at all, to reduce the low/mid torque I have now, because I remember what it is like to not have it!
