hey guys, im looking for a place to do the compliance work on my 89 sil80.

A mate said there is a place in hornsby that does it for $1k, but I cant get thru to get the info off him.

Anyone know off a cheap place around the sydney area, everyone keeps telling me sspi but kirawee is pretty damn far for me (im on the northern beaches)

i don't know how cheap they are compared to other places, but I can't fault Grey Imports for service and quality. 2 things that mean more to me than outright price. FTR I thought their prices were reasonable too. They are in Annandale.

Call Nathan on 9519 5150 tell him Richard sent you. :cheers:

midnight you posted on NS right?

Anyway if you go into the RTA they should have a list of people who can do 15 year compliancing for you. Just call around a few places if SSPI is too far..

yeah i posted on ns, last time I went to the rta they didnt understand about imported cars and insisted the closest blue slip place would do it...

It ended with 3 middle-aged ladies ganging up and telling me im wrong and yelling at me, followed by me swearing alot and walking out, waiting 45min sucks.

SSPI will do a really good deal, speak to chris or emanuel.

SSPI will probably have your car done within a couple of days depending if it simple compliance and no hassle with it, but there reputation is excellent.

They will have a website up and running soon

www.sspi.com.au check it out in a week or so

i understand that there are plenty of things i could do myself, specially after lots of chats with others on this forum (thanks DAN00H!). I did entertain the idea for a while.

while i trust myself with a bandsaw and a setsquare, I don't trust my handiwork with fitting car safety stuff. I realise I'll only need side intrusion bars in certain unlikely circumstances, but in those circumstances i will want them to work like nothing else and i'm not prepared to negotiate my passenger's wellbeing on it.

i prefer to get Nathan to do it - he sounds like a great bloke and I have no problems going with Grey Imports. at the end of the day, i'd rather just pay the fees and know it's done right. my time is valuable (and this is something that shows like auction squad and the like don't emphasize - sure, you can do a lot yourself, but do you have time?). :P

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
