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.....

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
