Gday guys n girls

Not sure if this belongs in here, but i'm after specific Perth info.

I am waiting on my 89 GTR to come accross from Japan and am in the process of organising customs/insurance/compliance etc etc.

What I am after is feedback/info/recommendations on workshops that could do compliance on 89 GTRs, preferably workshops that have done this model before. Any info is appreciated....costs/reputation/workmanship etc etc.

I have contacted the 3 workshops recommended by Prestige, but I like to research stuff as much as possible :-)

Thanks heaps!

Mat

Cheers dude, I had thought of doing it myself as nothing on the list does look that hard (except maybe the side intrusion bars).

The way my job is though I just dont think I would have the time/patience to get it done myself over a couple weekends. Its a toss up between having the money or having the time/effort and I'd rather pay someone and get it done quick...

My days of turning a spanner are (hopefully) over.

Cheers for the input though, its all appreciated :cheers:

My mate and I complied an 1988 model Silvia under the 15 year rule requirements back in October last year

To get it over the pits, we:

1). Didn't have to put side intrusion bars in; asked about it and they said it wasn't required.

2). The fuel filler restrictor we got from a Jap shop in Maddington. Removed the fuel pipe (leading into the tank) and took it to Ian diffen who put it onto a pipe enlarger. Then we placed the filler restrictor into the pipe with fuel resistant silicone. (Or can find the pipe from a wreck). ~$15

3). Child restraignts had to be mounted directly behind (or 5cm either side of) the rear seats; 2 of them. Bolt them into the parcel shelf. Can buy from Bentley Garage or any workshop. (Or again from a wreck) - ~$5

4). The drivers side mirror was changed with a flat mirror; find one on a wreck. ~$5

5). High-mount stop light, buy from any automotive accessories shop. ~$20

6). Immobilisor, phone up anyone to come to your house (so you don't have to get a permit), and get them to install one on the spot. ~$109

7). The tyres from Japan were acceptable; they weren't required to be DOT approved, so no cost.

Most of the stuff on that list we got for free, so cost even less. We were quoted by a well known local workshop $1500 to get it complied (= the stuff listed above).

Welcome to 2004, side intrusion bars now compulsory. though gtr may already have them standard.

Though to answer the question, A and B autos in bayswater, bently garage, autoworx in gnangara could all do the work, i couldnt comment on the quality of work though.

Yeah, 89 GTRs dont have side intrusion bars, they def need to be fitted.

There's been plenty of rule changes since Oct03, most notably you now require an engineer/RAWS to sign off on roadworthiness and compliance mods. Also, the areas that need mods are different from model to model, so mods needed for a GTR may be different than a Silvia, 300zx, RX7 etc and vice versa.

Thanks for the input guys, all opinions/experiences are good to hear!

Oh well doesn't matter anyway.

The point I was making is how little it cost to get the car done compared to what a workshop wanted .... in October 2003.

Was merely trying to save a fellow skyliner a couple of $$

If it's all changed now then so be it.

John Cullen on 0415618326 and his email [email protected] knows a lot about complying 15 year old cars as that is all he does.

It is a lot of work to know but it isnt that expencive.

This is what they look into with each 15 year old car, get somebody who has done a lot and they know what they are doing.

All questions to be completed by an approved signatory. COMPLIANCE (mark with X)

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
