plenty of us in the same boat and compliance shops with no room to take any more cars in to complete the compliance work, as they can't let the cars they've done go until the compliance plates are attached :P

I'm in the same situation..

My 34 GTR is sitting at the compliance shop where its been for a month now.

just waiting for a silly compliance sticker..

They've told me they will call me when it arrives, it takes a lot of control not to annoy them everyday.

I hope i can pick it up next week.

It isn't the "sticker" they are waiting for, it is due to other reasons related to the workshop and DOTARS, once the car clears you fax off for the plate and 3 days later you have it.

Waiting for the plate as a reason is a crock, waiting for the paper work to clear or even be submitted is more the truth.

Ok yeah well whatever the reason. My beast is sitting in the workshop gathering dust.

Can't wait to pick it up and start modifying it.

When I applied for my compliance plate I was given the option to pay a little extra to get it through quicker.

Received the compliance sticker in 3 days.

that's probably because the workshop has maxed their plate allowance and they're getting them back in dribs and drabs, so who ever pays the most gets preference. There's no "fast queue" they can put you on if you pay more, except one of their own making :D

i would just like to add that i wash my self with a rag attached to a stick, i lather it up using bodywash and just go to town - seriously

i told the compliance shop that and then they said that i have to wait for a plate, i waited for a plate but it hasn't come, i wait three whole waits!!!!

what should i do???

i'm thinking i might call iron chef and tell him how i feel about the situation at hand here.

I think he's sending me a coded message re the reacharound...

I purchased a 370GT Type-SP on the 22nd of July! It took 7 weeks to get an import certificate!

Bespoke in Adelaide said it will take roughly anywhere of up to 2 month to comply 'cause of some Victorian Government audit I didn’t want my car collecting dust and sitting in the sun, taking up space at the workshop so I applied for a Temporary Unregistered Permit on the 25th of last month then took her home Whilst I wait for the DETORS Sticker.

I have had her home in the Garage for a weeks and a half now, washed her 3 times and have had a professional car detailer come and detailer her at home (for a 6 pack ;) ). But seems like forever, every day as I wait for a Telephone call from Goran and say: “We have the sticker come and drop your car off and I’ll run her in Regency!”

Don’t by any means digest this post as a hack at Bespoke, Goran wants to be payed ASAP and it’s not in his control, plus he has great communication and can answer my every email and txt! Frigging Government employees should get off their fat ass!

Sometimes I think I should have just bought an IS-350 or 370GT locally, this car I have been funding for 3 months cannot even be driven yet (yells at the top of voice and punches desk!)

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
