compliance goldcoast?

[predator]

Anybody know of anywhere good on the goldcoast to get a car complied? Preferably somewhere where somebody has had their car complied in the last 12 months and has some first hand experience.

Mine shall be here in a couple of weeks.. just wondering whether there were any places down here that came recommended at a good price, with as little dodginess as possible.

Might be nice to get it done somewhere locally. Then again I might just get it all done up in Brisbane, then I just can go up there and pick it up.

p.s. my car is in the yellow dot right now

[strutto]

Hey! I can see my house... :wavey:

I just heard on the news that there was a Tsunami around the area of the yellow dot Gordo

Seriously though PM Jason (JLNewton) as I think he had all three of his cars complied on the Coast

[unwritten law]

what sort of car is it? Need to know if there is compliance available for it on the coast....

[RiverSide]

I assume it is a 15yr vehicle?........You can do the work yourself and have it certified by an engineer.

[predator]

yeah, its 15 year..

I thought about doing the work myself, replacing things like cat, seatbelts, brake light, etc.. then getting engineer to do intrusion bars. I have room here to work on it.

Just got to weigh up cost of somebody else doing it for $1200 or so, or doing it myself, buying the parts, and go from there. I have a feeling the DIY may be up around $700 (any idea exactly how much it will cost me ??).. if I can just take it somewhere and in a week pick it up all done and ready to register, that is very tempting.

Shipping could be around $100 just to get it to the goldcoast though from the docks. Guess that is not too bad if I end up doing much of the compliance myself.

If I get it done up brissie though, I just pick the car up, take it to the nearest transport dept, and straight to the goldcoast.

*dilema*

[jlnewton]

Yeah, got both my cars complied down the Coast. If you need any details or info drop us a PM Gordon. I found this guy good to deal with, other people have had different experiences though, but personally I found him upfront and easy going.

[twoquik]

are you getting an R also gordo?

[predator]

no R until I buy a house.. If I buy one before, I'll just have to sell it before the house anyhow (silly).

I will send you a PM in a minute for some compliancers

[rsx84]

theres a place at nerang thats will do it i think its around the $500 mark ( don't know where i got that figure from??) post up a contact # tonight for you, but i'm talking to a place tomorrow about a compliance plate for my car, engine swap and the other bits, but i'll ask for a price on the import compliance your looking for tomorrow..

[predator]

That would be great... at the moment its at Brisbane docks getting looked at by customs. Once that's done (few days more I think) going to get it shipped down via car carrier to my place, where I might do some of the work myself.

Then can just get it taken to a place that can write out the engineers, and then to the transport dept. for rego.

[rsx84]

from the place i'm going to talk to tomorrow i was told its $165 for the inspection and mod plate through them but i'll confirm that first. the blokes name is Jason Ruse, automotive techique ph # 07 5537 1515 there in labrador just off brisbane road, round the road from Dyson rotorary...

[pentae]

I dont mean to hijack the thread or anything, but instead of starting another one about compliance centers in brisbane i'm sure if ANYONE in either gold coast or brisbane has had their r32 gtr complianced under 15yo rule, how much did it cost you and what needed to be done?

My GTR is completely stock standard, stock muffler etc. I have a local muffler guy who will swap the cat to a new one virtually for free, but if its the stock cat do you still have to change it?

Predator: good stuff.. I would be very interested in your experience from gettin the car complied to getting it on the road. Mine's at the customs atm too (no its not a line.. ) so I will have to go throught the same thing as you soon. Diff is that the person that is importing my car will also be arranging compliancing.

Pentae: I believe there is a threat at the "Importation, Laws and Regulations section" on what needs to be done for a R32 GTR's compliancing, it might even be a DIY use the search option man.

I would also be interested to see how long your car took going throught the custom, as I have been told its anywhere between 4 days till 3 weeks.

[pentae]

Yotis: read it. I dont have time to DIY, and want to know where I can get the best price

[rsx84]

gordo, can i ask where you neded up getting your compliance done as the place i was going to stuffed a mate around on a striaght forward engine install....

cheers, matt.

[predator]

Hey matt.. um its the one behind smith street in Southport..

adrenaline i think it was.. they didn't do my actual compliance, but they were friendly about letting the engineer they use tick off my work.. and they looked quite legit, and had decent service.
