Their is a workshop in Sydney who has RAWS already and has had his R32 tested but like everybody else waiting for the evidence to be signed off.

It takes time sorting out things like this but keep an eye on http://raws.dotars.gov.au/rawswebpublic/rawpubmain.asp and it will show you just about straight away of it being on their schedule.

A couple of people have had cars sitting in Japan waiting for a while so it is up to you it is a risk that some people are willing to take.

And no the workshop wont take deposits for plates as they dont want to lead people down the garden path.

I am currently looking for a clean R32 to add the model to our schedule but even that is hard at the moment.

Look at it this way when somebody ask's how will it take for your R32 well I just say "how long is a piece of string".

nope, at the moment no one can comply an R32. Your only options to import one right now are 15 year old, race or private imports.

A lot of workshops have chosen not to invest in compliance for them since the earliest ones can be bought in as 15 year old cars with no compliance cost, making them at least $2k cheaper. The ones who are in the process of getting it are betting that the 15yo rule will be stopped at the end of the year

We arent investing the money hoping on the 15 year rule change as we are working on the older R32's will still come in but a 92 GTR is cheaper than a 89 and not everybody want's 100,000 plus klm cars.

With compliance we are only looking at post 91 GTS-t's and 92 GTR's because of side intrusion bars so the 15 year rule wont affect us for a few years.

In the big picture on the clean car's $2,000 can make the difference of a mint and average car.

The evidence is the issue now.

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      Clutch done also about a year ago got a DCS HD Single Plate. Basically done everything but touch the engine 🤣 But will definitely get a fuel pump and ECU, then start saving 🫡

      Fuel pump and clutch and ecu that’ll get you to about 230 or so kw, after that the sky’s the limit and the budget blows out faster then you can blink

      Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.

      Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.

      Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
