Has anyone been experiencing big delays in getting there cars complied????

I have a 33 V-spec GTR that has been getting complied in Brisbane since mid february. My car got in the country on the 2nd of Feb and after the usual time for customs and all that jazz to take place it went to a mechanics to have the mods removed and some standard stuff to go back on so I wouldn't lose it when complied (Exhaust, mags, filters, intercooler and piping). On the standard mags we had new tyre's as well. It went to the compliers and it took him over a month before he even looked at complying it, he said he had a backlog of cars to complete and then he tells us that it takes five weeks for the government to send him the plates once he sends in his paper work. during this whole process as well he informs us that he has put on new tyre's and we had to get the car to a mechanic to replace a CV boot (the mechanic said it was fine but the complier insisted it be replaced). But what get me is during this whole process everytime we rang he said "2 weeks, the car will be ready in 2 weeks" Has anyone else been having these drama's or am I just cursed to have everything to go wrong and take forever to happen?????????

I have an R33 GTR in Melbourne that has been also getting complied since February (and still not ready). All this bullshit with emmision tests, seat tests, bla,bla, bla. Hopefully it will be ready in the 2-3 few weeks, but realistically probably sometime in 2010 when it becomes 15 years old

yer, its all bullshit.. all you can do is write a letter to your local politician and hope they listen (yeah right)

I think most that have imported a car under SEVS have had massive headaches in one way or another. Take a scheme that is for the most part working, then make it un-workable due to ridiculous amount of crap -- way to go Government!

RussGTR - DOTARS' service charter says 17 days..I'll assume they're business days based on my exp..I just received approval yesterday for a car I applied for in the last wk of March.

As for everyone else, just hang on there! You'll get them eventually (although waiting since Feb seems excessive, I had to wait about 1 month I think for my SEVS plate to arrive at my compliancer's door..lots of daily phone calls to chase it up!)

Mmmm, the wait is so frustrating. With my GTR, I bought it just before Xmas so I had to wait till the new year for the next ship, then somehow it managed to miss that ship so I had to wait for the next. Then the usual shipping, customs wait, then compliance. Overall it was about 3 1/2 months from car purchase at auction to driving the car home. Its worth the wait though.

Saw another GTR at the compliance workshop where mine got done. Wasn't a silver one by any chance?

Certainly is a silver one. My Gtr was the same story, missed the boat and finally landed in OZ on Feb 2nd. I guess if it was standard firstly it would've been a quicker process. This is my fourth inport and as far as i am concerned the old system was so much better. It's not good, but I guess it's good to know I'm not the only one having drama's.

Welcome to DoTaRS..where delay is one of the services we offer :)

I think they no longer stick to their 17 days charter thingy (in fact they removed that from their website completely!) - trying to cut down imports on our road is one of their objectives and for sure they're doing it well.

The boat delays are due to the car companies giving priority to new cars hence filling them up first, that was the reason I got anyway. I also heard that a rule change to ADR's allowing non standard rims to be complied?? Was passed 2 weeks ago, can anyone confirm this?? cheers

Yep, I was told the same thing. They just have to supply a tyre placard to suit the different rim. I am sure it is within reason though. I also heard that there is a relaxation in regard to bodykits too.

A quickky, what cos are involved in SEVS i head it cos about 4k compliance cars under SEVS? It is 4k worth of testing?

plus tyres, plus rego and stamp duty, plus the cost of replacement parts to get to roadworthy condition (if required).

There is testing (emissions, etc) and a full service, but also there is a list of things that have to be replaced, and replaced with genuine parts. (charcol boxes, brake pads, all filters, etc). You should see the cost of replacing brake pads on a 33 GTR with genuine nissan pads!!!!! OUCH!!!!!

I hope so, gotta talk to guy at compliance shop when it gets there. Don't wanna have to get a set of rims just for compliance as the new tyres will be only for those rims.

    • Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant
    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
