I just rang PVP and they want $1580 to comply my car :S Is it just me or is that expensive? Any other places people could recomend so I can compare prices?

Rang the guy at import spares and he recomended PVP, I would definatly go with PVP but its so expensive, I was expecting $1300 max. Maybe if I could get another quote PVP would try to match it?

I had all three of my cars complied by Joanne, Neil, Craig and the rest of the crew at Best Enterprises. I'd recommend them. Heaps of contact, reasonable prices, professional job. Need I say more.

The cost depends on the mods u have as well - some will need to be removed and refitted for the Regency run.

Also the fact that you have a 4 door means u will need an extra set of side intrusion bars for the rear?

Most ppl suggest PVP and Best Enterprises. Ring both for a quote and see how u go. If u can do arrange it, take it to them so they can give u a better idea.

I got home to late to ring Best Enterprises, ill try to get hold of them tomorrow or Saturday. I was just wondering does Best Enterprises take your car through regency for you because I know PVP does.

The thing is even if alot of mods have to be removed from my car I definatly aint paying $1580 and then even more for the mods to be removed.

How much does it cost for regency to have a look at your car? Maybe thats where the extra $300 is comming onto the PVP price, unless Best Enterprises takes your car through and only charges $1200?

Best enterprise do it and they charge $1400

PVP.

I'm doing my own compliance, and the guy there sold me all the stuff I need to do it myself.

they do the full job including taking it through regency for about $1100.

after getting half way through a DIY compliance, I recon its worth every cent.

how much is the "compliance kit" cost u?

cheers

This is what I spent.....

$75 Child restraints ($25 ea)

$18 Fuel restrictor

$220 intrusion bars

$10 stickers (tyre placard etc)

$7 VIN

$80 led brake light

$200 engineering report.

Plus a heap of work. the door glass needs to come out and the doors need to come off to get the intrusion bars in neatly.

plus I've done new brake discs and upper control arm bushes....

Best Enterprizes do charge you to take gear off to get through Regency. All the stuff off my grey GTR amounted to over $600. It also cost that amount again to get everything refitted (but not by Best Ent). They take the car through Regency and charge an hours labour $66, but this would be included in your original quote from them.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
