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

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.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
