Hi guys i'm importing a 90 R32 GTR through Prestige Motor Sports.

Car should arrive late this month or early next. Prestige put me onto a place in Brisbane

Import Auto Compliance P/L

2 / 14 Lapis Street

Underwood QLD 4119

Phone: (07) 3808 9099

Fax: (07) 3808 7099

David Fredricks 0412 139 506

Anyway they quoted me 2300 + GST + tyres + doors + taking off and refitting standard parts.

Comp 2300 + GST 230 + tyres 500 + doors 800 = $3800 + taking off and fitting parts well.. could be over 4k!!!

This seems like way too much to me? They want 550 for doors + 100 fitting + painting if needed?

Ill try to source the doors myself and just fit the old ones back on later on to save money. I'm also going to find my own tyres to reduce the costs.

Anyway i'm new to importing so any help to save money would be much apreciated. I'm not too handy myself but i can do some things.

Any advice?

THANKS!

Shop around if you want: http://raws.dotars.gov.au/rawswebpublic/RAWPubSearch.asp

Search for 'Nissan,' 'Skyline R32' & call around. There's 16 listed in QLD alone.

Tyres - you need new ones. Some places will allow you to buy your own, other's won't.

Doors - seems you can get aftermarket side-intrusion bars engineered now. However don't think the cost will be very different. If the workshop let you find your own doors they need to be the ones with intrusion bars in them.

Mods - sounds like you have a modified GTR. Always going to be additional costs for removing those parts as part of compliance.

$2300 + GST is about right.

as for the doors. As I understand it you CANNOT just fit late model GTR doors to satisfy this requirement. as when they complied early 32s under sevs the evidence package shows aftermarket bars that have been passed so they have to be fitted. your workshop may have a different evidence package though. the price for the bars is on the high side, but not extreme. good bars probably cost them between $100 and $200 each, and there is a fair bit of labour in fitting them.

tyres is just like razor said.

with the parts well yes they have to be removed (and replaced with standard parts) for compliance so yeah, not much you can do about that.

As per another web site so people know the answer is below,

It has to be OEM for all the parts but for the intercooler with out seeing it that is the workshops call, Turbo Timer disabled, Wing removed but the biggest cost being the doors, well their is now available approved After Market Side Intrusion Bars for the R32 GTR as I have ordered them and I have the evidence in my possession so I know it is out their, these are ADR approved and tested according to ADR 29 requirements for DOTRS.

Their is no need to fit other doors then repaint them anymore so look into this option and good to see people are told all the cost's up front........

Oh and DOTRS know of the swap doors for compliance and then put back old ones after complying the car..........

    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
