I'm still waiting on mine mate!!!

From exact start to finish I would say about 10 days, but it depends on when he can start it. He just got 2 more people working for him, so you won't be waiting as long as me. Mine was cleared in late March, but it is only getting ready for compliance now. A mate of mine went there last week & seen it, said it didn't have the rims on so they might have started on it now.

If yours did land today it will be cleared in between 1-2 weeks, and from then it is just a matter of waiting to see how many are in the queue ahead of yours.

I'm also hanging out for mine!!!

Edit- By 10 days I mean the compliance is only 2-3 days usually, but the waiting on the compliance plate from Canberra probably takes the longest.

WTF!!!! 6 weeks!!!thats heaps long. i hope its doesnt take more than a month, ive already waited 3 months for the dam thing. only cuz i missed March ship, but i dont think it should take that long. i bought i mid march :(

Mearcat- im getting it complied through imports101 the guy there hold a RAWS certified workshop. im got a quote that it wont excced more than 4.4k including new tires (17's)

im really getting anxious, cuz my car sat on the docks in japan for 1.5months and now its getting here i hope it wont take longer. as for i know i dont even know the full condition of it other than seeing sum pics of it.

its like waiting for desperately needed organs :(

haahah i have had 2 importer cars... the first r33 series 1 took ages from getting here to getting licenced about 4.5 months total... 2 months in the compliance shop... so the next 1 i got i went to a different compliance shop and the first part was great it was in freo is less than 1 month but has been yet again in the compliance shopfor yes thats right another 2 months.... spewing any1 recommend a good comliance shop for my next 1 ???

If the import paper work is done correctly and lodged by your broker before it arrives it should be off the docks within 5 working days no if's no but's.

Car turns up for compliance and my last two personal cars were done at another workshop and just joined the line with other personal importers they were complied within 24 to 48 hours including VIC put in for plate, plate arrived in 5 to 7 working days then off for rego.

If I have all the bits on hand for cars I have complyied at our workshop which always happens as we order in batches of 10 to 50 so they are always in stock a car "WILL" be finished in 2 working days and the VIC submitted with the plate arriving in the 5 to 7 days, no joining queue's with other cars. (If waiting for DOTR's, Standard parts as owner sent hotted up or bits to make road worthy because it is a piece of shit it is not my fault for the delay but other wise no excuse.)

I also pit pass car in normal cost of compliance.

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
