R32 Skyline Sedan Compliance?

[Trizae]

i've been eyeing a certain HCR32 1989 Skyline Sedan lately and i'm curious if picking it up it arrives in a months time and i'm wondering how much compliance of this beast would be in victoria? and anyone know of someone who can do the compliance at a good rate :angel:

Compliance shoudl cost you around the $1500 mark.

Can't help you with specific workshops down there..........most engineeers should be able to carry the work out for you, the bonus being that THEY are the ones signing it off so you know it is done right the first time.

$1500? cool and what work is carried out with that specific import?

so far rang around a bit and got quoted $1400 from 'Japanese Vehicle Compliance Centre' in Cheltenham if anyone can do better by all means post up!

where do i find the full list of work to be done on a 15 yr old cefiro during compliance? i want to know exactly what they are required to do and see if they actually do it...

[RiverSide]

The vehicle will not be signed off if the work has not been carried out. Provided you go to a reputable workshop you won't have any problems.

Sometimes it is well worth spending the coupe of extra dollars for piece of mind.

Just got mine done for $1200, but not worth it the guy a total idiot and massively unreliable.

[RiverSide]

That is EXACTLY what i meant in my previous post......some things are simply not owrth the dollar saving...........

Glad to hear you got it all sorted in the end though quincy

To have the car complied to the ADR standards on an '89 import, the following things need to be addressed:

- Side Intrusion Bars

- Drivers Side Flat Mirror Glass

- Fuel Neck Restrictor

- Import VIN Plate Attached

- Seat Belts in Good Working Order

- DOT or "E" Rated Tyres

- Child Restraint Clips in Rear

The first four are the most important, and depending on the engineer doing the report, he may or may not be flexible/lenient on the last items.

Just to give more details and to confirm with riverside. sorry for lengthy post. This is all true I promise.

It was a nightmare just to save $300 bucks. For those in melb dont go near JapTralia or Leena? Engineering in Knox.

Would try and call 20 times a day with no answers or messages returned. Only got booked in cause I drove there. When I went to pick car up after confirming it had been completed, they said would not sign cert as wheels were too wide and exhaust too loud - far enough I thought.!

They were ok to this point even offered to lend me some wheels and an exhaust for the pictures and sign report. So booked in to it after weekend. (wed). went there on the wed and the guy had gone home just some workers there. So ask them when he was coming - they no he had gone for the day. I got them to call him saying I was here and willing to do the work and drive to meet him where ever to do pics and sign certificate. - he said no (remember this was even booked in). I then ask to speak with him, they came back and said he did not want to speak to me. Great!!! condisering I had VICroads booked for Fri.

I then booked in again to do the same thing on thurs. Arrived on thurs. again not there and not coming back....... So missed Vicraods appointment and had to also pay for it. Furthermore.. Now said would NOT lend me wheels or exhaust I had to do it myself somewhere else!

So booked in to have it done over the whole weekend and pick up sun morning. Got there guess what not there. Another 100 not answered phone calls and waited 3 and1/2 hours and he arrives.

No sorry, no discount nothing just rude..

And thats been the disaster of a cheaper place. I would pay double just to not go back to the place. Strongly reccommend you all stay away...
