Hi all, my R32 arrived at my door yesterday, and I'm struggling to find an engineer to comply my car. I've found one, but would really rather someone refer me to one that I know does a good job. The only one I've found so far is a guy called Steve in Knox.

Over the phone he quoted me:

$1100

- Drivers mirror

- Fuel filler restrictor

- dash light dimmer

- side intrusion bars (coupe)

- Rear high level brake light

- new CAT

- and of course certificate

- all done in 5 working days

*First of all is this reasonable pricing?

*Secondly is there any other engineers you guys can recommend (preferably East of Melbourne), and what on average are their prices?

This info would be really helpful for alot of people in Vic who'll be getting their 15 year old cars shortly...

Ok, i can't help you with the compliance thing.....

BUT we do need some pics of your new ride!!! :)

Hey yeah good idea - here's a couple of pics. Looks great in pictures but I think i'm gonna have to give it a respray. I was told it was in excellent condition but it seems to be far from it. That's the risk hey...

that sounds about rightr... usually comppliancers these days are bogged down, so 5 working days is an awesome deal for $1100. My ceffy cost $1100 but it had to have 2 extra side intrusion bars fitted. For a 2 door I was quoted $1000, but it took about 3 weeks for mine to be done, and I'd have paid the extra $100 to have it done in 5 days.

I paid $750 for mine because it was two door and two seater :)

also a 4door would cost more offcourse as its 4doors and 5seats ?

Cheers

seats don't mean shit in VIC, as you don't have to worry about seatbelts here.

ceffies n skylines are a little bit more difficult to compliance than FC's

my new baby is currently at place in Knoxfield. quoted $1050. Could be the same place.. I can't remember the guys name off the top of my head.. wait it's Gary!

got my place done at the same place as this guy. Lena Engineering the name of the place.

still got his card in my wallet 0412716671 name is Gary. did a good job and replaced my pipe that had the blow off valve with a new pipe free of charge (let me keep old pipe).

edit: only took 4 days too

yeah he's a top bloke, most of the guys that go thru j-spec with 15 yr old cars we try and get Gary to compliance... good rates, top quality work, and a nice guy overall.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
