For those people bringing in modified cars under SEVS and expecting everything to be right well this is the go.

Before the vehicle is delivered to the workshop ensure it is back to standard not "that should be right just sort it later".

If the workshop replaces aftermarket parts oficialy it has to be replaced with new parts, not all do it but ones that do can hit you with a big bill.

This was confirmed with DOTR's they are the final decision with what they say is fact and not fiction.

All non conforming parts are to be returned to the owner of the vehicle if requested,

Parts are not to be Destroyed automatically as Export is an option,

Common Law under ownership of parts over rides the Federal Legislation,

Only new parts are to be fitted to a vehicle if replacing non conforming parts,

Parts from a different model are not to be used especially ones that leak (Soarer Suspension in a Supra),

Destroying and exporting of non conforming parts is to do with the RAW owning the vehicle not a third party.

A couple of people are having problems with Greedy workshops which is why I posted this, at worst you sign a Stat Dec saying you own the parts and you want them back as the car is standard and complyied.

It is under review but this is how it stands at the moment.

These links can help out a bit more,

yes. Read into what he is saying.

He is saying that the car must be standard when it is presented to the RAW for compliance ie. you can make the car standard before it gets to the RAW, then they will comply it as a standard car.

i thought you couldnt even see the car until it was complied?

soooo i could import a worked R34 GTR..

get it delived to my place after customs, put it back to standard MYSELF.. get it towed to the complience workshop... get it complied/registered

then put all the mods back on it?

what if it has forged pistons etc (internal work that cant be seen)

would that have to be changed?

I was pretty sure you didn't have a chance to get your mits on it at all.. had to go straight from docks to compliance centre.

With 15 year cars you could do what you liked before compliance. SEVS is a more integrated process.

It is a question like "how long is a piece of string".

Depends on the state you live in depends on what workshop you deal with,

Depends if you can even find the standard parts as for some cars it is very hard,

If they are going as far as pistons their will be a lot of other work done to it so do you want to get the car here and then go shit I dont have that bit and order it new,

Guy's are getting ripped or given the run around on simple things like suspension and wheels let alone some of the other parts you are thinking about.

If it isnt trained monkey bits to swap over and you are unsure DONT buy it unless you can afford a lot of bits from Nissan.

It wont be long and the ruling will be straight to the work shop from the dock.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think my main complaint with your idea is that there is a veneer of idealism spread across it. You want the simple numbers to make it easier, but all they will do is make it easier for someone to come to the wrong conclusion because the fine details will kick them in the nuts. As it is right now, the tiny bit of arithmetic is NOT the obstacle to understanding what will fit and what will not fit. The reality of trying it is what determines whether it will fit. If you had a "standard rule" that R34 GTT guards have that magic 100mm space from the hub face to whichever side you were worried about, and someone said "excellent, this wheel is only 98mm in that direction, I'll just go spend $4k on them and jam them on my sick ride".....they would just as likely find out that the "standard rule" is not true because the rear subframe is offset to one side by a fairly typical (but variable) 8mm on their car and they only have 92mm on one side and 108 on the other.

      It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.

      But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.

      Ah ok interesting to know.

      Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
