My R33 GTS-T is currently in Victoria being complianced. What exactly do they do during compliancing? Are there any websites that explain all the steps?

Thanks

Short story - they make sure the car meets ADRs.

Long story - things like adding an unleaded fuel filler restrictor, rear child safety restraints mounting points, new charcoal canister and catalytic converter (if required), new tyres, etc etc.

In terms of steps, once done, you just follow VicRoads procedures for establishing new vehicle registration for an import:

Short answer - make sure the vehicle in question adheres to all applicable design rules. (ADR's)

Long answer - a crapload. For a better idea on what is required to comply a car for approval under the RAW scheme, have a look at the proper checklist that the car is put through.

Just be aware that ther are some idiosincrities in the system that affect different cars in different ways that make small changes to them.

For instance, the headrests on standard stagea (and skyline) seats are supposed to be modified slightly

and there are certain issues that have to be addressed on a state by state basis, such as the yellow fog lights that are illegal in queensland, but allowed here in WA.

Its a realy long and involved process which is why the gubberment only lets registered workshops do it.
