Look at www.prestigemotorsport.com.au as he list the cars as well that come from www.japanautodirect.com who send it out to a lot of Brokers.

Accident damaged cars are not allowed to come in under RAWS, no matter how you read it a replaced rear qtr is structial damage as only 25 mil is allowed.

Make sure you know who is complying the car and if they will comply a car that has panel damage as a lot are knocking them back.

One guy just went through this on a 32 GTR and RAWS couldnt verify it would pass till the incoming vehicle report was done before complying it.

In the end he just sold the car in Japan after owning it since April.

They complied my last car under the old scheme too. No dramas and none of the BS of 'extra this' and 'extra that', that I was expecting after speaking to others who had stuff complied around the place. I'd give them a go, its' a shame I couldn't have bought mine through them but they didn't buy back then, as all the headaches I had were with buying and transporting.

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?

      What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
