My R32 GTR is coming from Kawasaki port which i hear is taking a long time. So im hoping it will come in within 3 months..

In the mean time i want to figure out what i'm doing with compliancing. So im wondering if there are many other WA people waiting on R32 GTR?

I will be looking for quotes on compliancing and prices on parts. Thought maybe we could help each other out with quotes/info/group buys (if its the cheapest option to do it yourself)

Or even to say what you have decided to do. everything helps. i want to save some cash on this

These are a couple of RAWS that can comply and sign off the the car all in one hit, price varys depending on the condition of the car and if tyres are required, one GTR the other day had a factory side intrusion bar in one door and nothing in the other so the customer only had to pay half what was quoted for the bars.

The simple stuff is easy to quote but one oil leak and it can blow the price out.

awesome linksys. is your GTR at kawasaki too? when did you pay for it? Though prestige motorsport? Its a painful wait hey...

Yeh ill definently make sure my car gets a full service before it hits the road. I don't want some simple problem to turn into something much larger... These GTR's can get expensive. havn't chosen a workshop for doing that work yet.

Ill let you know what prices i get. One of my ideas was to possible get a group buy on things like the side intrusion bars and get mirrors cut in numbers if people expressed interest.. not much so far.

Maybe getting the parts isnt worth the hassle if getting someone to do it is cost effective. Thats what i need to find out.

Yeah I'm also waiting on my car coming from Kawasaki port as well (4 door GTS-T). A bloody painful wait. Just out of interest im guessing the cars get shipped in cronological order, so how long ago did everyone else buy there car which they are still waiting on? I bought mine in late november and am pretty optomistic it should definately be on the next ship.

Hey man, did you go through prestige to get your car? After you paid for it, have you gotten any updates on shipping or know whats going on with it? I've paid for mine now but i don't have any idea where the vehicle is or when its coming. Have you organised a customs agent or are you still waiting to hear more?

Btw, i just got a message from someone who car compliance a R32GTR for $750 including the engineers certificate. Lemme know if this sounds good and ill pass the details on to you.

I went through prestige motorsport as well. Yeah they forgot to tell me the bit that I could be waiting up to 6 months for shipping. At the end of every month I have asked if my car made it onto the ship (in december and January) and it has missed out each and every time, becoming a bit frustrating if I do say myself.

When he firsts sends you the email after you've paid for it in full. It should say the place of shipping from there. Mine is coming from Kawasaki Port. So while its waiting for shipping, my car is sitting by the docks, rusting and being raided by treasure thieves only to have the tits thrashed out of it by the time it arrives at the dock by the wharfies (ever been down to the docks and seen the strips all over the place?) I wish prestige offered the same service as J-spec to pay half now and half when the car arrives as it would give some piece of mind. As for me I've paid close on 7k only to have 2 pictures of the car and that its somewhere in Japan that I've never heard of.

As for you guys if you have only bought it recently, with the amount of people rushing to get cars it would be more than likely that the car would arrive somewhere around May/June. Yeah it sucks and I can't wait for the relief when I finally get the car.

Geez that is a long wait. Was it eligible for import straight away? Which port did it come from?

No it wasn't eligible straight away, I bought it under the belief that SEVS compliance would be just a few months away. As we know that never eventuated so my only option was to hang out for it to turn 15, that was Jan this year.

Basically from the time I got my IA to shipping was less than two weeks. It was stored in Kyushu, no idea of the port.

I just got this email

"Your vehicle has been confirmed aboard the current vessel on its way to Fremantle. Arrival expected on about 11th March. Shipping paperwork will be e-mailed to you a few days prior to arrival"

I only paid for mine like 2-3 weeks ago, i thought you were supposed to prepay shipping to perth ? i have not paid for shipping yet.

I actually wanted mine to take like 4 more months to get here, so i can save up for import duties+compliance and i dont get my license back till august anyway !!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      But there's the archetype for the name plate! Here's my view on that stupid TÜV ruleset. Buy a brand name aftermarket piece of equipment. In this case, the Mines front pipe we're talking about. Get it TÜV certified on the car. Damage the underside of it, say on a speed bump. Cut out the damaged section, replace with fresh metal. (For the sake of the argument only), continue doing that to the whole pipe until it is all gone, replaced with new metal. Is this grandfather's axe still the same front pipe? The design hasn't changed (much). The pipe walls are in the same places. The flanges are in the same places. It is functionally identical. How does this differ from a pipe that is ever so slightly different in fabrication (ie the number of welds in it, a few mm here and there in terms of where the pipes run, are joined, etc)? Anyone with 0.5% of a brain can see that there is absolutely no way that the performance (power, environmental aspects, noise, etc etc) of it can be any different than the genuine Mines pipe. Maybe even Mines made 2 versions of this design, with the same differences. How would anyone (say a TÜV inspector) ever be able to differentiate between them? And yet, they are so bloody anally retentive about this stuff. Mad. How upset would they be if you had the wrong spring washers on the flanges?

      By Rezz · Posted

      After a fairly extensive search using Japanese terms and checking Minkara etc, I couldn't find anything even close to your front pipe in the photos. I'm no expert but the two pipes merge really close to the flange connected to the catalytic converter which is rather unique from what I've seen, which makes me think it's more than likely a custom front pipe. The welds and 'more pipe sections than usual for a brand name pipe' makes it seem like a custom one.  Here's some photos of an old Mine's front pipe. You can see that it's just 4 pipe sections as opposed to 6, and arguably looks more like a 'production' front pipe:
