I got Nizmo Motorsport in Brisbane to comply my 97 Stagea RS4. Actually it's still there now. It should be getting put on the truck on Friday. And it cost between $4500 and $5000 that includes new tyres. At the time Nizmo were the only compliance company that still had plates left.

Ran a search but no $ found.  

How much does it cost given only 4 workshops  

in the country that can do it?

I only looked at east coast compliers. There is one in WA that I didn't contact. I got quoted $4K from one workshop, $4.5K from another and $5K from another. The $4K workshop had no licences left, so I went with the $4.5K one. All were plus tyres. :D

When does the new RAWS licences get issued ?? have 400 been consumed already ??

From what I can tell each RAWS gets 100 licences on 1st January each year they apply for. Those licences are used over the range of vehicles they have approval for. So the pricing is variable, early in the year the RAWS might need some work (money) so they lower their prices. If thier prices are cheaper than the rest then they might start to run out of licences, so they raise their prices. Then at the end of the year they might have some left so they lower their prices again to use them up before they loose them. Some vehicles have only only one approved RAWS, so they can charge whatever they like. Others have a few RAWS, so there is competition, it's what free enterprise is all about.

My suggestion, if you want a particular vehicle, check on the DOTARS web site as to who is a RAWS for it. Then ring around and get prices. If you don't like any of the prices then pick another vehicle or wait until early in the next year or maybe later in this one or until more RAWS get approval for that vehicle.

There is no one "right" answer, every vehicle is different and timing is everything.

Hope that helps :(

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
