I got Nizmo Motorsport in Brisbane to comply my 97 Stagea RS4. Actually it's still there now. It should be getting put on the truck on Friday. And it cost between $4500 and $5000 that includes new tyres. At the time Nizmo were the only compliance company that still had plates left.

Ran a search but no $ found.  

How much does it cost given only 4 workshops  

in the country that can do it?

I only looked at east coast compliers. There is one in WA that I didn't contact. I got quoted $4K from one workshop, $4.5K from another and $5K from another. The $4K workshop had no licences left, so I went with the $4.5K one. All were plus tyres. :D

When does the new RAWS licences get issued ?? have 400 been consumed already ??

From what I can tell each RAWS gets 100 licences on 1st January each year they apply for. Those licences are used over the range of vehicles they have approval for. So the pricing is variable, early in the year the RAWS might need some work (money) so they lower their prices. If thier prices are cheaper than the rest then they might start to run out of licences, so they raise their prices. Then at the end of the year they might have some left so they lower their prices again to use them up before they loose them. Some vehicles have only only one approved RAWS, so they can charge whatever they like. Others have a few RAWS, so there is competition, it's what free enterprise is all about.

My suggestion, if you want a particular vehicle, check on the DOTARS web site as to who is a RAWS for it. Then ring around and get prices. If you don't like any of the prices then pick another vehicle or wait until early in the next year or maybe later in this one or until more RAWS get approval for that vehicle.

There is no one "right" answer, every vehicle is different and timing is everything.

Hope that helps :(

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything
