Im going through Best Enterprises they seemed good and cheap Ive heard other places have changed there prices to $1500 when I rang however I yet to be told when my car will be finished after contacting them twice and the car sitting there since Monday Im going to drop down there on Sat and see what they have to say. I'd say get it done it's only $1200 and then you can drive it on the road if you want. I don't know how you'd go trying to get it done later down the track.

btw Ive got the cash for the guards waiting so let me know

I know my car isn't a R32, but i bought my cefiro mid september, it was registered 15th February, don't be surprised if regency knocks you back first go. I had suspension issues, i had stock cefiro struts and still it was too low. oh well, its registered now.

Congrats on your new ride!

I too am a new 4DR 32 owner (white, manual), but havent driven mine yet! Arrived in Fremantle (south of Perth) today, so I should get it very soon!

As far as time frame is concerned, i payed for mine on January 27th.

congrats mate, nice one, 4dr 32's are sick.

under 15 year rule, mine was $1250 to comply.

i paid for my car in mid october, and it arrived mid january, so for me it was a 3 month turnaround.

It's cost me around $10.500 complied and regod. roadworthy was fairly pricy, had to change all discs and pads.

---

oh yeah, remember to service it as soon as you get back from compliance. at the very least change the engine oil and filter. who knows when it was last changed, and its probably been sitting in a dealership/warehouse/docks for 6 months or so

next step is a manual conversion if you want to get into a bit of drift. get an rb25det gearbox though.

4 doors rock. I got mine in December but through a car yard in brisbane, I've upgraded the fuel pump to 450hp and put a R33 air flow meter on, which could have waited but wanted to get out of the way early. Just about to put a front mount on then we can talk a bigger turbo. And in the wet, what can i say.............

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      By tylink720 · Posted

      If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok.

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions

      So i brought a boat...

      How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!

      Is the Clock Spring and Steering angle sensor the same thing?

      By silviaz · Posted

      So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
