pre complianced mods and compliancing

[Riskbreaker]

this may have been asked before, as i am unclear on this issue, i was wondering if there is anyway of putting the mods back in after compliancing, i talked 1 of the compliancing workshop they said they have to destroy it (altho i think they just strip the car to stock standard and sell the parts, since they had rows and rows of used parts!). so yer is there any compliancing workshop in victoria that allow for this? if so can u please pm me their detail if they cannot be mentioned in the forum. thanx in advance

By law, they actually have to destroy these mods. However when you sit down and think about it, how many of them actually will destroy these parts if they have value and are resellable???

Easiest thing is to get the mods of the car before it goes into the workshop, and replace them with standard items, ie coolers, exhaust etc. The new rules are pretty strict, ie car cant be lowered, must not have tints etc. So therefore the car has to be stock as a rock! After compliance, sell of the stockies, and replace them with the mods.

If your thinking about getting a R33 , you should have no problems finding standard parts as theres lots on the "For Sale" section of SAU Forums.

well i can't help a lot, but i just got a car from Japan and it has 17" AVS Model 5's on it, i bought some stock rims in Japan. So when it hits the compliance place, stock rims will be on, ticked off, and then i'll put the Model 5's back on. I think it's best to do as much as you can in Japan. So the car you are supplying the compliance place is stock.

www.upimports.com.au should have R33 compliance up and running pretty soon. Maybe give them a call.

cheers

SS8_Gohan how are u managing to make changes to the car in japan? is there a certain importer that does this? :confused:

Mr G is right as I have just had my car complied and the easiest way is to change ova to stock parts b4 it goes into w/shop or else they have to document it if they change any mods and send evidence to Gov that parts removed were destroyed. Saves u some money as u can usually get parts cheaper than the w/shops can by buying 2nd hand! Well thats wat I did anyway??? What they don't know of they can't touch!!!! :wassup:
