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.

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.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
