car prices will always go down.... its just the way it is... sure with the new laws the might hold for a lil bit... maybe even go up a touch... but the bottom line is pricese will always decrease...

Oh and im going to lease my next import through the business :D

well it's a big deal for me cos i want to import a R34 GT-T in about 7-8 months. Luckily R34 compliance costs are already fairly expensive, and it won't go up too much. But i have to find a mod-free car as to avoid the extra costs of removing them all. Plus the whole process is apparently going to take longer, quite a bit longer.

don't baby our automotive industry by pratically killing off the import one. Make it easy for cars to be imported, give ppl the choice when it comes to buying a car. Let them find out there are better cars for less money, then let the car makers in australia catch up to world standards. Be pro-active rather than re-active. In the long run it will be worth it bcos australia will be producing world class cars because they were forced to catch up due to relaxed import laws.

/end bitch about government.

my thoughts from another place - i signed the petition last year

wont the laws increase the prices of our cars??? and it wil also hold there value  

i kinda like the new laws

Perhaps it will increase the resale values - but I signed it to help the guys who are trying to get a car [now]!

And what if "we" want or need to buy another car, are you happy to pay perhaps, several thousand dollars extra for what will essentially be the same car passing through different legislation [red tape]?

Some of the laws have already wiped out small business' which can be seen as good for some while bad for other's.

Good: stops the dodgy operators bringing in crap cars?

Bad: too costly for [the honest] small business to adapt / meet requirements of new RAWS?

It all depends on how you look at it i guess, maybe we don't really know what the full effects are yet?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
