Hi All,

I tried this in the NSW section, but not getting any replies :D

----

Currently importing a R32 GT-R and I want to get everything sorted well and truely before the car gets anywhere near Australia. Geoff from Prestige recommended the following companies to do the necessary modifications to comply with the ADRs (the price they quoted me is listed):

Southside Performance Imports: $1200 + blue slip + rego.

GM World (Auto Disposals): $2000 (inc blue slip) + rego.

Sydney Compliance Centre: $1500 (can't remember if it was inc/ex blue slip).

Has anyone had experience with those three companies? Was it good, bad, indifferent? Anyone who has used a different company, feel free to post the details plus any comments about them.

Thanks guys!

Lucien.

ive been told that anyone can do this. i mean anyone can install all necessary items such as flat drivers side mirrors, side intrusion bars etc... im currently looking for a compant to do this aswell. another cost invloved is tyres. im just making sure i get a set of cheap wheels before so i dont have to fork out the money for brank new tyres (im cheap)

I did all teh work myself except the side intution bars as they require buying a kit pulling the doors off and appart and welding in place. I have had dealings with SSPI and I found them to be very good to talk to and deal with. I refure you to the below contact:

Stirling,

Normally we would charge $1200 for all the work required:

Child Restraint Mounts (2) - Supply and fit

High Level Mount Stop light - Supply and fit

Drivers side mirror (flat) - Supply and fit (no longer required)

Unleaded Fuel Filler Restictor - Supply and fit (replaced with a ULP sticker)

Side Intrusion Bars - Supply and fit

Engineers Certificate (prove car meets ADR's)

But if you only need the Child Restraint mounts and intrusion bars we would

charge $600 for those as they are the most difficult jobs required.

You would also need an Engineers report to prove the car meets the ADR's,

these are normally between $500-$550, but we could do one for you for $400

if gotten as a package with Child Restraints and Intrusion bars.

Total of $1000.

Regards

Emanuel

This was the best quote I recieved. I did not endup going for it as I pulled teh doors off and apart, Skyline Performance in Canberra are doing the intrusion bars as offered to do teh kit and welding for $450. Being they are in canberra it makes life much easier.

I would suggest going with SSPI if you are in sydney, that price for all the work and teh cert is great..

I might also ad that the other work is very simple cheep and you should do your self, how ever for $200 you could save your self all the effort ie: drive in drive out..

Hope this helped!

Stirlo_GTR: Thanks for that. SSPI certainly have given me the best quote so far. I may also consider doing most of the work myself since it doesn't seem difficult from what you are saying. Are you able to tell me where you sourced the parts?

Cheers,

Lucien.

Stirlo: Good work. I will also be giving SSPI a call.

Lwells: Got the news about the de-gassing laws? Geoff told me last night. My car will be delayed two weeks due to it im told

The only part you will need to buy and instal is the high mount stop light which I got from auto barn, most auto shops will carry them for about $20... thats all you need to do.. :D

The fuel restrictor is no longer required as it was only there to stop fools from putting deisel or leaded (what ever) fuel in an ULP car.. Deisel/ Leaded (what ever) is no longer available at any pump in aust, and hence you only need a sticker to say ULP only, SSPI can provide this..

Flat mirror is no longer required as of Jan 1st 2004.

This only leaves the child restraints/ intrution bars/ eng cert to do which I would suggest you get SSPI to do for you for $1000... and your all sweet for rego.

depends on condition normal ADR's apply ie would they pass normal rego? give them the pull 1o times test, if they grap no worrys 10 times and dont slip they'll be fine.. make sure there are no freys etc remember these are what saves your life so its important make sure they are in good order.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
