Surprising to hear. I had an excellent experience with him as have many others I know. Sucks to hear you had such a rough experience. Just curious, what car did you buy?

Compliance shops certainly make things difficult sometimes, with some companies not actually being able to comply certain models so they send it to a different shop and just slap handling fees + profit margin ontop of that.

Yeah my delays weren't caused by the shop itself, they were actually excellent. It just took forever to receive the purple compliance plate, and then the RMS/RTA put a hold on the cars registration pending a random inspection. So many hoops to jump through...

I know what you're saying though. An already painful process can be exacerbated in a big way by an inept workshop.

I should have read this thread before dealing with Ben. I am not in the process compliance to my car with Jeep Autoworx in Perth.

I think Jspec Imports service has gone to  ....Very friendly and accomodating at first, but once they have your money communication is very poor. Just like every business I guess.

My car has been in the compliance shop fro almost 2 months now and still waiting for approval? His recommended TopSecretImports invoiced me already for a job that not approved yet, I am requesting a refund and they are refusing to do.

Used Ben at J-Spec, service was mostly good and I did appreciate him being honest about cars condition and he did mention his opinion on cars that are not good enough to import even though I had a chance to get things over and done with so I did appreciate his advice on advising I wait for the right car to come by. 

I do feel there is a smaller but significant element of - hey if things go good, cool.  If not oh well who cares get on with it.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
