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 :(

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
