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!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
