Can anyone please help me out, my future bro in law is experiencing some delay in receiving his 33T apparently going by what the guy said, compliance plates are taking long to get hold of, but how long is long? and is it true, the car is ready but its waiting on the plate. The car has been in compliancing for about 3 weeks I just wanna make sure that the guy is not ****ing him around.

this guy keeps telling him definetly this time but when that time comes he uses that excuse so I don't think the guy has any idea himself its no good telling him any day. I just told him to be patient and once u get u'll love it and will forget about the delay.

If approval has been granted by Canberra then the actual plate should only take 3-4 days. I believe they are made by Niddery Nameplates in Sydney, I can get the phone no. if needed. To get details of the actual plate you will need the compliers CPA no. and the Chassis no.

It is more likely the complier is holding the process up, for whatever reason.

Thats my guess... patience is a virtue

yeah that was what I was thinking the only mods I know of are exhaust adj sus. and Its got nismo wheels and aftermarket rear wing other than that its standard

My Car arrived in the country on 13th May. I still haven't got it.

Granted there has ben some work done to it but I think it was signed off for compliance a month or so ago. They've had to change the details on the comp forms I think so its taking extra long. Gotta be the most frustrating wait ever. Am ready to condiser finding another "Line" which has its plates already.

Grrr

It's true that dealer are all scrambling to pick up the last of the plates under the old system, but if your car has been signed off by canberra then there should be no delay. They couln't have your car signed off without a plate, this is not the actaul plate that goes on the car, so if it has been signed off then there should be no reason not to have your car. I would be around there every day hounding them to find out what is going on.

Or you can ring the Approvals center in Canberra, or Niddery Nameplates to find out what the hold-up is.

The situation is like this: the complier needs to have plate for your type of vehicle, he then complies the vehicle to meet the ADR's, send the forms to canberra for approval, once he has approval he can send off for the plate to attach to your car, once he attaches the plate to your car then it should be yours.

It may be that he couldn't get hold of a plate for your car, as they are becoming scarce, therefore this is the holdup. You need to find out at what stage the process is at, then ring the relevant body to determine if it is true or not.

I thought you had to get the plate at the very start, in order to get import approval. Then the import approval allows you to bring the car into the country. Once the car is complied and approved by the engineer, you then send off this approval and get the compliance plate stamped in canberra?

Yes you have to have a plate for the type of car being brought in, otherwise the car will get scrapped on arrival, but there are lots of dodgey deals with people swapping plates, so a car can arrive and then the complier won't actually have a plate for it. The whole process takes my mates, who are compliers, 2-3 weeks. Therefore if 2-6 months later you don't have a car, then something very dodgey is going on.

  • 2 weeks later...

some update on the situtation compliancing place is apperently closed for holidays till Jan 6th which didn't please him u could imagine....and on NYE he found out he'll be receiving his line on jan 17th which pleased him even more...just have to wait and see if he gets it then fingers crossed.......:)

My car was finished compliance on the 5th of December, which is when the paperwork was sent off to Canberra I believe.

So I've been waiting about a month now. I wonder when the plate making place opens after xmas. Starting to get sick of waiting!

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
