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!!! :)

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...

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 ?

Cheers

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

my new baby is currently at place in Knoxfield. quoted $1050. Could be the same place.. I can't remember the guys name off the top of my head.. wait it's Gary!

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

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.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
