For those people bringing in modified cars under SEVS and expecting everything to be right well this is the go.

Before the vehicle is delivered to the workshop ensure it is back to standard not "that should be right just sort it later".

If the workshop replaces aftermarket parts oficialy it has to be replaced with new parts, not all do it but ones that do can hit you with a big bill.

This was confirmed with DOTR's they are the final decision with what they say is fact and not fiction.

All non conforming parts are to be returned to the owner of the vehicle if requested,

Parts are not to be Destroyed automatically as Export is an option,

Common Law under ownership of parts over rides the Federal Legislation,

Only new parts are to be fitted to a vehicle if replacing non conforming parts,

Parts from a different model are not to be used especially ones that leak (Soarer Suspension in a Supra),

Destroying and exporting of non conforming parts is to do with the RAW owning the vehicle not a third party.

A couple of people are having problems with Greedy workshops which is why I posted this, at worst you sign a Stat Dec saying you own the parts and you want them back as the car is standard and complyied.

It is under review but this is how it stands at the moment.

These links can help out a bit more,

yes. Read into what he is saying.

He is saying that the car must be standard when it is presented to the RAW for compliance ie. you can make the car standard before it gets to the RAW, then they will comply it as a standard car.

i thought you couldnt even see the car until it was complied?

soooo i could import a worked R34 GTR..

get it delived to my place after customs, put it back to standard MYSELF.. get it towed to the complience workshop... get it complied/registered

then put all the mods back on it?

what if it has forged pistons etc (internal work that cant be seen)

would that have to be changed?

I was pretty sure you didn't have a chance to get your mits on it at all.. had to go straight from docks to compliance centre.

With 15 year cars you could do what you liked before compliance. SEVS is a more integrated process.

It is a question like "how long is a piece of string".

Depends on the state you live in depends on what workshop you deal with,

Depends if you can even find the standard parts as for some cars it is very hard,

If they are going as far as pistons their will be a lot of other work done to it so do you want to get the car here and then go shit I dont have that bit and order it new,

Guy's are getting ripped or given the run around on simple things like suspension and wheels let alone some of the other parts you are thinking about.

If it isnt trained monkey bits to swap over and you are unsure DONT buy it unless you can afford a lot of bits from Nissan.

It wont be long and the ruling will be straight to the work shop from the dock.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
