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?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
