hey buddy,

good to hear!

i got the call yesterday, mines cleared and sitting at the toll waiting to be put on a truck for adelaide... i get mine 7 days after i pay (so hopefully next saturday march 11th)

btw whos doing your compliance? im curious about side intrusion bar/engineer cert prices only (got child restraint points, stock parts, convex mirror lense etc sitting here waiting for it)

GTR guards are yours soon as my car lands!

Im going through Best Enterprises they seemed good and cheap Ive heard other places have changed there prices to $1500 when I rang however I yet to be told when my car will be finished after contacting them twice and the car sitting there since Monday Im going to drop down there on Sat and see what they have to say. I'd say get it done it's only $1200 and then you can drive it on the road if you want. I don't know how you'd go trying to get it done later down the track.

btw Ive got the cash for the guards waiting so let me know

I know my car isn't a R32, but i bought my cefiro mid september, it was registered 15th February, don't be surprised if regency knocks you back first go. I had suspension issues, i had stock cefiro struts and still it was too low. oh well, its registered now.

Congrats on your new ride!

I too am a new 4DR 32 owner (white, manual), but havent driven mine yet! Arrived in Fremantle (south of Perth) today, so I should get it very soon!

As far as time frame is concerned, i payed for mine on January 27th.

congrats mate, nice one, 4dr 32's are sick.

under 15 year rule, mine was $1250 to comply.

i paid for my car in mid october, and it arrived mid january, so for me it was a 3 month turnaround.

It's cost me around $10.500 complied and regod. roadworthy was fairly pricy, had to change all discs and pads.

oh yeah, remember to service it as soon as you get back from compliance. at the very least change the engine oil and filter. who knows when it was last changed, and its probably been sitting in a dealership/warehouse/docks for 6 months or so

next step is a manual conversion if you want to get into a bit of drift. get an rb25det gearbox though.

4 doors rock. I got mine in December but through a car yard in brisbane, I've upgraded the fuel pump to 450hp and put a R33 air flow meter on, which could have waited but wanted to get out of the way early. Just about to put a front mount on then we can talk a bigger turbo. And in the wet, what can i say.............

got it rego'd today and Insured third party as Im low on funds then drove in to work complaince cost me $1565 extra $300 for front upper control arm bushes and $65 for a new batt without letting me know till I turned up to pick it up on Sat. Its auto at the moment but it revs to 7,500 before changing with out the power or hold button on very strange?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
