Compliancing - What Should They Do Vs What Do They Do?

[sonicii]

About the only think that could have prevented compliance is the tyres, but as far as I am aware it doesn't need to have new tyres, just ADR compliant tyres.

the air filter sounds like someone either didn't do it, or swapped it out again later.

Personally I would be replacing fluids and filters anyway, unless you know the mechanic who did the service and can confirm that it was done.

Oh, and Geoff - you should join the SAU:SA club at www.sausa.com.au - we need more V35s in the club

This is the reason most imports come into Queensland directly from Japan , i found so many cars that were registered in QLD with no ADRs done "AT ALL "no side intrusion bars or seat belts how f...ck does this still happen . Pisses me off when you bring a car into S.A and get butt raped .

Mate, gone are the days of a handshake and your word being enough. It's such a shame.

I lost $1000 putting a car back through auction just last weekend on that exact principle, so called friend of a friend...

Depends on the compliancing mob in QLD. My V36 had to be complianced there as my agent knew of nobody reliable in NSW who could do the newer 7 speed autos. Bruce Gearing did a great job and no issues when I had to blue slip it in Sydney.
