What's the go with the number plates? If it has not been complied yet it can't be registered...

Looking vey nice by the way!

He probably put them on so he can drive it to the compliancers without too much attention.... SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[munchstagea]

Haha, that could be a shocking move! "Where's your rego sticker mate?" I wouldn't like to try it...

[Ska]

I dove around for a year and a half with no rego sticker aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages ago in an old beatup KE70 corolla, as long as you dont do anything stupid cops leave ya alone.

ALTHOUGH I do NOT endorse this as with no rego you have no CTP which protects everyone's medical bills in the event of an accident.

Well i cracked my windscreen, hgad to get a second hand one. am waiting on a sticker from the dept of transport... lol worked for me. i was shitting my pants the whole time, though... that was me sitting in a metallic hot pink cressida, (for my fiance) looking like a homo. Fantastic. They just said ok and let me go. i was pulled over at an RBT, and they didnt check the plates... since that day, ive never driven an unregistered car. too scary.

Cant wait to see some pics of it in the sun!

PS if you find the fuel consumption a bit much, ill swap my 25DET for the 26DETT... ill pay for postage too... :-)

yea it was my younger bro's isea to put on the old plates of his. SSSHHH!!!!!! Although the car for registered for 2 days i bought a temp rego for it but want to save of the hassle being pulled over by the cops.

Ska what kinsd of bumper you've got? Also fuel consumption are pretty thirsty if you tharsh it its like me in the onld days guzzling beer!! . Thats why as soon as i found out from Racepace that Power Fc can save fuel i when and bought one in the group buy. so...

[stasis]

Yeah well had to ask

i understand i would to if i were you.

[stasis]

just went and saw my car today at the compliance place today. they told me that its goin to be a delay for about a week for it to be complieed since im the first of its kind that they are doing it. They need to confirm a few things with the engineers. so will let you guys know again next week

BTW there was a white DAYZ and a silver rs4 in their workshop wonder whose is it? anybody got an ideaa?

Sure FLY not a problem. I told them i want to pick up the car on a thursday(not this coming thursday but the next want). So i have time to bring it to a mech to check the whole car.

Alex you want to come as well?

[FLYSLY]

I find that kamikaze are very highly priced anyway, all there cars are over priced, parts etc..

[mcnamg]

Yudy,

would be careful making statements about them ripping you off on a public forum I am sure that someone from there would most likely post on here and word could get back to them and if they still have your car its a bit risky. Also I am sure the fuel tank in the Stagea is different to the GTR so the filter is different and the sump on the stagea is different which brad has mentioned Before during his GTR engine conversion so the oil filter probably is different and if they require genuine parts this may be added cost.

I dont agree with them not giving you a discount for providing your own fluids though but if you said that they were doing this one below cost then maybe thats why they wont move on price. Bear in mind that if it is indeed the first car that they have done they may need to consult the engineers more than they will need to for future cars so this consult is not free engineers charge like wounded bulls so this could be where the added costs come from.

When you signed an agreement with them did you have to fill in a form to agree to them complying your car? I did and it says clearly on the form the price and that there is no discount and that if there is any additiional parts required other than the parts used normally to comply a stock car then I pay for them. I agreed to that and if there is an added cost I need to wear it

My 2c

Flysly I agree with you about price most companies that do both compliance and sell cars are more expensive as they would rather keep the plates for their own stock more money to be made there as the profit margins for compliance are lower than a car quite obviously.

Wildcat found this out the hard way with the guys in Perth who complied her car they took way longer than they should have and were very pricey time delays most likely related to the fact that they have lots of new stock arriving for their yards all the time and these cars are more important to them. I am sure kamikaze is the same and put their own cars first.

You never can tell if someone is Bullshitting you but personally if I have a bad experience with a company I wouldnt be bagging them until I had my car back as you never know how spiteful some people can be and I am pretty sure there is no warranty on complaince work someone correct me if I am wrong.

After you have your car back definately tell everyone about your bad experience and dont go back there but not until then.

[stasis]

good idea mcnamg well to tell you the truth i didnt sign any paper works at all. i was just being told to go drop it off at the compliance and thats it, when i got there i ask them wheter i need to fill out any paperworks?! there said no need and that was it.

Ohh well i guess im just so pissed off thats all cant get a straight answer. I guess im already too far in it already and have to go through it and get my car out from there.

heheh those plates are cool, even if they are temporary... すき in japanese (su.ki), naturally, it sounds like 'ski'... it means 'like', as in ' i like this car!!!' yatta!

My complaince workshop faxed me a service agreement with some dotars paperwork and asked me to signe them and send them back they basically tell me that if the car is found to be not suitable for complaince that they are required to send the car back to japan or destroy it at my cost and what those costs are. Also tells me what the go is with regards to needing to provide evidence that the car has been deregistered and degassed and that I have to pay to have it regassed and any additional costs involved with returning the car to stock are mine
