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.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
