if its anywhere round 17k then consider mine for sale!

even considering the compliance cost of $3500... thats still round $30k for a 96 R33 GTR. If these prices are correct (tend not to be) then these guys will put up some competition with jspec and prestiege... but we are yet to find out their reliability.

They are just standard prices.. you can get cheap R33 GTR for around $30k.. have been for 12 months. Quality debateable.. but my mates R33 has had no problems and is very clean and purchased for $32k.

Seen a lot of prestiges cars in there getting there compliance work done by Danny.

This company has been in the same compex as me for a long time and we do work for them a lot and the standard they demand from us is very high so id expect all their work to be high standard. If you doubt them have you ever seen garrantys anywere in OZ like they have?

If your looking at the white 95 R33 which has those new alloys, aftermarket front bar and m-spec skirts, this car got listed and sold on prestige over the weekend.

As stated by GTS-t VSPEC, the prices are that way for a rerason. Compliance costs, freight costs and licencing costs all vary considerably from state to state. The constant costs are included in the listed price, then you just click the cost calculator and it does the rest. I have never heard so many people complain about how cheap cars are?

There seem to be a few sceptics.....If anyone has any genuine questions I am happy to explain everything. We don't have anything to hide and are not new kids on the block.

how do you work out the cost of compliance for the particular model you are after i.e stagea?

There is no secret way. You just have to go to the DOTARS website, find out who can comply the model you want, and call around and bargain them down.

Search from here: http://raws.dotars.gov.au/rawswebpublic/RA...AWPubSearch.asp

guys - look into the full costs, and use the cost calculator, work out what a new set of tyres, rego, and stamp duty will cost ($1000-$2000). Compliance on R33's has become quite cheap because they are common us muck... but is still around the $3000 mark. Their fee isn't listed on there in there "landed" price either, so you gotta whack $1200 ontop. So realistically, add about $5-6k on whatever price they have on there for any vehicle. And no you can't just "avoid" any of these extra charges in any way to get your car on the road.

I'm not saying they are not reasonable prices, but never go thinking you can get an R33 turbo for like $12k - you're only going to be disappointed. This is nothing against this company's service, just that research everything fully before getting too excited.

Stageas under 20k has to be good.

http://www.autowholesale.com.au/ and they start at $17,000/$18,000 and you get 3 years Warrenty.

Just ring around in your state and find the best price you can get especially on R33's as on the East so many workshops are doing them, the only cars you cant bargin on are EVO VII's and RX7's.

Check http://raws.dotars.gov.au/rawswebpublic/rawpubmain.asp and it will tell you who has what, ask the workshop who they recommend to source un-damaged cars as DAMAGED/REPAIRED cars arent to be complyied and I would love a RAW to put in writing they will comply damaged cars from Japan.

A few people have had their cars scraped in the last month as the RAW's knocked them back as they were cheap for a reason.

It cost's the same who ever you use, it is just who you want to spend your money with.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
