Getting Off Defect

[rubzy]

Hey guys, just putting something out there to see if anyone has not been able to get their car off defect themselves and has ended up getting somewhere to help them like Nisswreck for example. Would really like to know how people went if they have had to use someone for help in this area. I would generally think that if a place helped you with this then you'd be through Regency basically first go, wouldn't you? Cos they should have all the bases covered yes? Your feedback would be much appreciated, cheers.

Sinergy motorsport also do defect removal. Although don't be bummed out if you dont pass first go. Personally i'd go for an inspection just to find out everything that needs repair/replacement.

[rubzy]

Where would you go for the inspection though? Regency?

Any idea on how much that would cost?

I got my 32 through regency about 2 weeks ago and did all the work myself. Went to regency first to see what needed to be done and then did it all myself. Subframe bushes, centre tail shaft bearing, rear tie rods, front right tie rod ends and a fark load more done for much much cheeper than i could get anyone else to do it. then got a mechanic to look over it before i took it and got through in about 5 min. So if you are pretty mechanically minded and have decent tools, jacks, car ramps etc you can do most of whatever needs to be done yourself for much cheeper.

Vince at Import Compliance Systems can turn your car back to stock and pass it for you and then return it back.

He got my GTR through which needed lots of stock parts.

Never actually heard of Import Compliance Systems

$175 to put it through for initial inspection...i know i just did it

Ill be doing all the defect removal and replacements myself as i cant afford $2k from Import compliance systems and synergy just to put it back to stock (that's just to get it through and then put all my gear back on). Cheaper for me to buy all the stock parts.

[Madaz]

It's only about 1k for them to do it, unless they have upped their price

We have a few competent people here that would be willing to quote you up for their time to do it

Well I know I'll need a stock exhaust & then I got quoted from Sinergy to change my HID's to normal globes for 220 but that's not changing 'em back either Got a couple of mates willing to help spin a few spanners with me so far, guess I should get that inspection so I'll know exactly what needs to be done. Would be interesting to get Reuben to help considering I'm Reuben too, kinda been waiting to meet him, don't know too many Reuben's. I know now that I'll have to wait now anyway cos I won't be able to get it cleared before the car show this weekend which was the general idea anyway cos my car is going to be in it. Appreciate everyone's help.

I'm just hoping I don't need to get my front end conversion engineered like Kahli did

[Import S13]

Yeah, Sinergy charged me $50 to put water in my washer bottle and $80 to remove tint on my front two windows. Have it all on paper I think unless I gave it away with my car.

Can do it all yourself and save yourself heaps.

[rubzy]

Must have been some special kind of water

You can convert your own for a coupla hours time, and about $50 in parts - if you're handy. This way also leaves the option to convert them back easily.

Got someone to do the lights for me cheaper so that's ok. Got some other problems come up now though...someone that's had my car during the year has f**ked my lock nut key, not happy
