Anybody know of anywhere good on the goldcoast to get a car complied? Preferably somewhere where somebody has had their car complied in the last 12 months and has some first hand experience.

Mine shall be here in a couple of weeks.. just wondering whether there were any places down here that came recommended at a good price, with as little dodginess as possible.

Might be nice to get it done somewhere locally. Then again I might just get it all done up in Brisbane, then I just can go up there and pick it up.

p.s. my car is in the yellow dot right now :)

I just heard on the news that there was a Tsunami around the area of the yellow dot Gordo :D

Seriously though PM Jason (JLNewton) as I think he had all three of his cars complied on the Coast

yeah, its 15 year..

I thought about doing the work myself, replacing things like cat, seatbelts, brake light, etc.. then getting engineer to do intrusion bars. I have room here to work on it.

Just got to weigh up cost of somebody else doing it for $1200 or so, or doing it myself, buying the parts, and go from there. I have a feeling the DIY may be up around $700 (any idea exactly how much it will cost me ??).. if I can just take it somewhere and in a week pick it up all done and ready to register, that is very tempting.

Shipping could be around $100 just to get it to the goldcoast though from the docks. Guess that is not too bad if I end up doing much of the compliance myself.

If I get it done up brissie though, I just pick the car up, take it to the nearest transport dept, and straight to the goldcoast.

Yeah, got both my cars complied down the Coast. If you need any details or info drop us a PM Gordon. I found this guy good to deal with, other people have had different experiences though, but personally I found him upfront and easy going.

That would be great... at the moment its at Brisbane docks getting looked at by customs. Once that's done (few days more I think) going to get it shipped down via car carrier to my place, where I might do some of the work myself.

Then can just get it taken to a place that can write out the engineers, and then to the transport dept. for rego.

I dont mean to hijack the thread or anything, but instead of starting another one about compliance centers in brisbane i'm sure if ANYONE in either gold coast or brisbane has had their r32 gtr complianced under 15yo rule, how much did it cost you and what needed to be done?

My GTR is completely stock standard, stock muffler etc. I have a local muffler guy who will swap the cat to a new one virtually for free, but if its the stock cat do you still have to change it?

Predator: good stuff.. I would be very interested in your experience from gettin the car complied to getting it on the road. Mine's at the customs atm too (no its not a line.. :) ) so I will have to go throught the same thing as you soon. :( Diff is that the person that is importing my car will also be arranging compliancing.

Pentae: I believe there is a threat at the "Importation, Laws and Regulations section" on what needs to be done for a R32 GTR's compliancing, it might even be a DIY use the search option man. :)

I would also be interested to see how long your car took going throught the custom, as I have been told its anywhere between 4 days till 3 weeks. :)

Hey matt.. um its the one behind smith street in Southport..

adrenaline i think it was.. they didn't do my actual compliance, but they were friendly about letting the engineer they use tick off my work.. and they looked quite legit, and had decent service.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
