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.

*dilema*

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.

theres a place at nerang thats will do it i think its around the $500 mark ( don't know where i got that figure from??) post up a contact # tonight for you, but i'm talking to a place tomorrow about a compliance plate for my car, engine swap and the other bits, but i'll ask for a price on the import compliance your looking for tomorrow..

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.

from the place i'm going to talk to tomorrow i was told its $165 for the inspection and mod plate through them but i'll confirm that first. the blokes name is Jason Ruse, automotive techique ph # 07 5537 1515 there in labrador just off brisbane road, round the road from Dyson rotorary...

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. :)

  • 8 months later...

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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
