incorrect popeye - my 4 door R34GTT is getting complied by Best Enterprises when it arrives in the next 3-4 weeks. They have plates available, and for the 4 door version (I assume 2 door is the same), the cost is $5,200 including GST, and that includes an $1,100 allowance new 17" tyres (the tyres HAVE to be absolutely brand new). I have paid a deposit and it is all organised already, so they DEFINITELY do it. Call Joanne Easterbrook 8262 6055, they are at 75 Churchill Rd North, Dry Creek. I found a place in Brisbane that can do it for $3,850 (without tyres), but the cost of trucking etc is not worth the small saving. Let him know that the car has to be COMPLETELY stock to go through compliancing - COMPLETELY STOCK - no ifs, ands, or buts. Subsequently I have tracked down some stock R34GTT wheels (thanks mxtcy), stock suspension (from Abo Bob), and am still looking for a stock 4-door exhaust. I am personally going to pick up the car from the wharfs, take it home and stock it out, then deliver it to Best Enterprises for compliancing. I think as part of the process they send it through Regency for you, so the car is ready to register when you get it back. The whole process takes around 2 weeks, and Best Enterprises have to get plate approval etc from Canberra, so need 2-3 weeks notice before they are allowed to touch the car.

I had a look at the r34 my friend was telling me about and all that has been done to it is a 3' exhaust and 18' mags. i have another friend with a completely stock r34 gtt. would this work if the 2 guys swapped a few parts while the process was happening??

That is still a good price!

Yeah, you can drive to the workshop on your tyres, but you must have a new/current receipt for them, else they will not comply. There are a heap of different things you have to do before the car can go in for compliance .... you have to sign a RAW work agreement form and pay $1,265 deposit before they can even apply for an import approval. An approval takes between 7-10 days and comes from Canberra. Only then can they even think about actually doing the compliance. It is vital you/he get a strict inspection somewhere else to make sure the car is 100% ok for compliance, as if the compliance workshop finds one tiny bit of dent or rust in the chassis or vital parts, they will immediately and without discussion brand the car damaged, and you can NEVER get it complied in Australia - even if you fix the damage. The car then has to be scrapped, or you have to pay to have it exported. They take this VERY seriously, and there is absolutly no leeway for compliance workshps, they 100% work within the guidelines.

This is a bit odd. My family work in both light and commercial aviation, and no wreck is considered "not repairable". If it is cheaper to fix than replace, it will gey fixed. (this includes planes that crash into trees and have the wings ripped off) So long as the work is signed off by a Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, all is good.

Why do they let aircraft fly after a wreck but not a car with a minor problem?

I dont doubt your word Andrew, but just dont understand the logic used by government. I guess they will do anything to protect local manufacturers.

yeah it doesn't make much sense .... even things like the tyres have to be BRAND NEW makes no sense .... as long as the tyres are roadworthy why does it matter?

But yeah, when you sign the RAWs work agreement it explicitly says at the bottom "I, xxxx, understand that if I purchase an accident damaged or rusted vehicle it will, under the import regulations, be required to be scrapped or exported." Very harsh if it is an accident repaired vehicle - even some very minor accidents are considered unroadworthy - even if they are completely professionally fixed!! Show me ANY 1999 falcodore that would satisy these criteria and I would eat my hat! (Well not literally, but you get my point).

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
