This thread is to notify anyone in Perth who is currently looking for compliance on their imported vehicle that there is an extremely unprofessional operator doing compliance work right now.

Their standard of work is low and respect for customers vehicle's is similar, with my car being taken for a joyride without me knowing and involved in an accident suffering serious damage. The wreck has been on-sold to someone,apparently without my knowledge. Before this happened, the compliance work took a very, very long time and was never completed. As such, I never even got to drive my own car.

I am not going to publish the workshop or it's owners name for obvious reasons. But if anyone is interested to know who this dodgy operator is please PM me and I will be more than happy to explain. Aside from myself, I know of at least 4 people who have suffered as a direct result of engaging this workshop's services.

And if the new owner of my vehicle is reading this (you will know when you read the above) can you PM me- I may be able to provide information on the car that you may be unaware of.

Don't get sucked in.

man thats pritty harsh, im always paranoid of takin it to a shop without them takin it for a fang, as you drive into alot of places all you see for about 3 4 corners are black strips and they all seem to come from the shops driveways, milk em for every penny you can man

Hey guys. To clarify without going into too much detail; they are a 15yr workshop. My skyline was being complied there, but was taken out illegally by someone at the workshop. Thinking they were a drift champion they lost control and smashed my car into a pole (severe damage).

Like I've said right now I can't say too much here but I will get the PM's out to all those that have asked tonight.

Well as long as they arent a well known R33 compliance workshop then Im happy as my R33 is about to arrive in Australia and be complied in a particular NOR workshop.

PM me please if this shop sounds familiar.....

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
