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.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
