I'm looking at importing a R32 GTS-t Type M through J-Spec in the next few weeks, but the quote they're giving me for compliance is about $4000.

I was hoping to see if anyone here has had their car done here in Adelaide since the new laws came into effect and what they thought of the workshop?

J-spec also said that the only workshops they knew of that had "R32 plates" were in QLD and NSW? Surely I don't have to get my car complied interstate?

Cheers guys

SlimJim - I bring in a fair few cars and get most of them done interstate. It's no big deal - just get the ship to drop it in Qld, then truck it down when they're finished. I've got $3500 on R32 compliance in Qld - PM me for details.

But doesnt the transport fee defeat the purpose of saving money on compliance?

correct me if im wrong please.

Yes... I have been thinking about this over the weekend and I don't really like the idea of just trusting the workshop guys picking my car up from the docks and complying it and all that before I even see it. Let alone what you mentioned about the cost of transporting it over here to Adelaide after.

Whats the deal with these RAWS workshops anyway? Can you get your car complied at a workshop that isn't RAWS? How long has this RAWS business been going on, because my friend just got his RX7 done here in Adelaide and the only 2 RAWS accredited workshops for RX7s are interstate?

:D

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
