Hi all,

new to the forum.

I am looking to import a 370GT (2008-2010) wondering if any 1 knows the cost of compliance in Brisbane (QLD). I've located 4 shops in Brisbane that do SVES compliance checks i just want to know the cost estimate.

Also how is Stamp Duty calculated in QLD? all i know is that its based on the market value.Does this include the cost of car landed?

stamp duty is based on a % of the market value. I just purchased my 350gt last week and market value was $26,000 and my stamp duty was $750.

Lucky me i changed the value of the vehicle on the bit of paper u take into department of transport to $12,000 which halved my stamp duty fee. Just be careful u don't put the value of the car to something ridiculous like $2000 or else you WILL get tracked down by the "stamp duty people" idk who they are and you'll be pretty much screwed, i guess it can be called fraud.

goodluck!

I had mine complied in Brisbane because nobody reliable/trustworthy in Sydney could do a 2009 model at the time (January 2012). The guys who did it were RAWS/Top Gear Vehicle Imports (http://www.raws.com.au) and it was on the recommendation of Prestige Motorsport, who patiently assisted me with the purchase of my vehicle when it appeared 7 months after I embarked on my search!

Bruce did a great job of it, no mucking around. His mechanic, Vasily, was equally good though he did mistakenly note down the engine serial number with one digit missing so that slowed me down a couple days for my blue slip here in NSW. Despite this, everything was well organised, the vehicle was well looked after even with the tow truck that Bruce arranged for picking up from the shipyard and all in all, they're a very accommodating bunch. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone. It was well worth the additional $600 I paid for the CEVA car carrying mob to bring him home to me.

With the necessary headlight modification, general service, fluid changes and tyres (Kumho KU31's, which I thought I'd try but they suck for my spirited driving style), I paid $3200 for the compliance. Good luck and happy bidding!

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Did some maintenance on the MX5, did the engine oil and filter which was uneventful, then I drained the coolant to put in the new reservoir and a thermostat, reservoir took 5 minutes  The thermostat, well that took.........3 bloody hours, what a job, the issue was the 3 bolts holding it on, one was easy, 2 were hidden and required a few 1/4 drive extensions, 1 more than I had, and a 1/4 swivel, which I also didn't have, and a good amount of playing contortionist  Getting the 2 unseen bolts back on was a time consuming nervous nightmare, as I couldn't see where they went there was alot of stabbing and hoping for the best, trying to line up a 8 mm bolt straight, which you cannot actually see or get a hand in there, with a 1/4 swivel in the mix was a nightmare Anyways, it's done now, all burped out, and run up to temp a few times, happily no leaks thank Jebus After the thermostat fiasco I decided I need a few mental health days away from tools before doing the rest of the servicing on it As for the Dunnydoore, it had the aircon regassed and it has a clean bill of health, thinking about taking it out on Monday for a cruise down the coast to look at some houses if weather permits

      Duncan's Race Car - The Most Overdue Build Thread On Sau

      By Duncan · Posted

      In other important race car news, instead of fixing the race car I changed the crank seals on the chainsaw, because wood burner Some damn tight (and lock tighted) m6 head bolts Who knew plastic crank cases were a thing! Quick tip, don't trust the youtube videos that say you can pull the old seals out with the head on in a husky 440e...not true, their crank seal tucks in behind the cover both sides. I'm not sure I'm a psychopath, but these things are damn loud....hope I can put all the bits back in the right place    Happily, it is now back to turning fallen trees into a combination of firewood logs and wood chips....just need a clear day to get into it properly

      Don't forget to make sure the tank is full to the brim before you try to replace the fuel pump too, that is an essential step.

      Arm ball joint

      By Duncan · Posted

      No, 260RS/4wd stagea is 33 GTR/GTS4 double wishbone all round, not struts. The 2wd cars are confusingly strut front. At there rear there is one balljoint at the outer end of the lower control arm. If you have HICAS (my Stagea doesn't, but I think 260RS did, there will be a balljoint of sorts where the HICAS arm attaches to the rear of the hub At the front, there are ball joints either end of the lower control arm, plus the tie rod end for the steering arm
