Just called the workshop that is doing compliance for my '95 R33 GTS25-t. They said they finished with the car and mailed the paper work few days ago to Canberra, but they don’t know how long it will take for the plate to arrive. So maybe someone got their plate recently or knows aprox. how long it takes for one for arrive, please let me know as i would like to have a rough idea when to expect it.

Thanx

My car also became ready - last week, the paperwork was submitted over the web, the current time for it to get cleared is 5 working days, however it fluctuates a fair bit (up to 14 etc). Anyhow yesterday i got a phonecall from the compliance workshop, the government asked about the mirrors or some such crap, took about 2 seconds to alter the form to answer their question but now its another 5 day wait. (Why they dont actually pick up the phone when they have questions is beyond me)

So i guess the answer to your question is about 6 days. (Once the car gets the all clear it takes another day for the compliance plate to arrive).

Hope that helps and you dont get stuffed around like i did

Well it took my mates workshop (they worked non stop on the car) 2 days to do.

4 Side Intrusion bars

5 Seat belts

Mirror from convex to flat

Child restraint points

Unleaded fuel filler opening restrictor

and fit a headunit and 4 new speakers

and then the engineer checked it all over for me and fitted me with a L01 mod plate for registration (QLD).

Mine took approximately 2 weeks for my R33. Its systematic, but I know how you feel, i was in pain just looking at my car sitting in the workshop, and couldnt even take it out. While mine was sitting at the workshop waiting for the plate to come back, I installed my stereo and got an alarm system fitted. Could be an idea to get an alarm fitted so you can park your car when you get it...

In the end, the wait is all worth it.

Should have some news next week, hopefully.

I couldn't even look at mine. It was sitting in a garage in Brissy while I'm in Tassie. Mine was seven days then I got a call saying they'd stuffed up the paperwork and it was another five days. It's currently on a truck somewhere between Brisbane and Melbourne. Or it's supposed to be. Waiting sucks.

Hi guys, normally the work on the car is completed in a couple of days and the Vehicle Inspection Certificate (VIC) submitted to DOTARS via the Internet.

It then really depends on how many VIC's are in the system as to how long it takes. Can be between 5-10 working days. Then once DOTARS clear paperwork it gets electronically transferred to NIDDRIE who make up Compliance Plate. Once the RAWS workshop pays then they send it out. If the workshop pay an extra $35 they can have it the next day, otherwise it gets sent registered post which can take 3-5 working days.

So start to finish about 2 to 3 weeks!!

If anyone has any questions please feel free to give me a call and I'll answer them. In case you haven't guessed by now, we have a RAWS workshop in Sydney:

SSPI actually did my compliance hehe... They actually can tell you if its gone through by looking on their computer through some database. Was so happy when I heard the news came in, but then got shafted cause RTA wanted to inspect my car which is a whole other issue, other than that, its still worth the wait I reckon.

Stick in there is all I can say

Hi Pavel,

If you go to following link

http://raws.dotars.gov.au/rawswebpublic/RA...ubVehSearch.asp

and type in your VIN, will be 6U9000ECR33xxxxxx

it will show you if DOTARS have cleared the RAWS paperwork so as Compliance plate can be issued. If its there than it is a matter of 1 day for compliance plate to arrive at RAWS if they pay the extra $35 for air mail, or about 3-4 working days if it comes the no extra cost registered mail.

Mannie,

Thanx for the info, just got a call from the workshop and good news, been approved.

Went to the DOTARS web site , did a search and found my r33 :(

Plate Approval Date: 28 September 2004

Will be expecting for a plate to come down end of this week and hopefully will have the car on the road next week.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
