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..........

    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
    • OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
