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 !!

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
