engineers for compliancing an R32

[jetgts]

Hi all, my R32 arrived at my door yesterday, and I'm struggling to find an engineer to comply my car. I've found one, but would really rather someone refer me to one that I know does a good job. The only one I've found so far is a guy called Steve in Knox.

Over the phone he quoted me:

$1100

- Drivers mirror

- Fuel filler restrictor

- dash light dimmer

- side intrusion bars (coupe)

- Rear high level brake light

- new CAT

- and of course certificate

- all done in 5 working days

*First of all is this reasonable pricing?

*Secondly is there any other engineers you guys can recommend (preferably East of Melbourne), and what on average are their prices?

This info would be really helpful for alot of people in Vic who'll be getting their 15 year old cars shortly...

Ok, i can't help you with the compliance thing.....

BUT we do need some pics of your new ride!!!

1100 sounds about right for all the work that needs to be done. i paid 1K but one of my doors allready had side intrusions (replaced with new door i suspect) and so didnt need doing.

Hey mate,

I can't help with an engineer as I'm on the Gold Coast but the price seems reasonable, I was quoted about $1300 up here.

Hope that helps,

Dean from upi? is on here as vspecv, pm him, or call upi.

Another that may do it is cross over car conversions.

Hey yeah good idea - here's a couple of pics. Looks great in pictures but I think i'm gonna have to give it a respray. I was told it was in excellent condition but it seems to be far from it. That's the risk hey...

[jetgts]

linxus40 - Where did you actually get your car complied?

purple32 - Thanks for that, I'll give them a call

Hey mate,

Go to HOLFORD MOTORS in spotswood. speak to dom.

that sounds about rightr... usually comppliancers these days are bogged down, so 5 working days is an awesome deal for $1100. My ceffy cost $1100 but it had to have 2 extra side intrusion bars fitted. For a 2 door I was quoted $1000, but it took about 3 weeks for mine to be done, and I'd have paid the extra $100 to have it done in 5 days.

I paid $750 for mine because it was two door and two seater

also a 4door would cost more offcourse as its 4doors and 5seats ?

seats don't mean shit in VIC, as you don't have to worry about seatbelts here.

ceffies n skylines are a little bit more difficult to compliance than FC's

Hey jetgts,

Would you mind passing on the details of this guy in knox?

I live a few minutes away so it's all good to me :bananaman

can any importer/complier under the new scheme automatically comply 15+ year cars?

importers dont comply cars

[funkymonkey]

sevs approved compliancers should be able to do the work, yes. in fact you can do it yourself and just get it engineered and it'll be fine.

Sounds like the guy... Let me know how you go with your car.

when is it due to be finished?

Gary Leh? lol i was just at his workshop yesterday, as we just found out that the $1.50 R32's RB20E engine DID have emissions data.

got my place done at the same place as this guy. Lena Engineering the name of the place.

still got his card in my wallet 0412716671 name is Gary. did a good job and replaced my pipe that had the blow off valve with a new pipe free of charge (let me keep old pipe).

edit: only took 4 days too

[funkymonkey]

yeah he's a top bloke, most of the guys that go thru j-spec with 15 yr old cars we try and get Gary to compliance... good rates, top quality work, and a nice guy overall.
