incorrect popeye - my 4 door R34GTT is getting complied by Best Enterprises when it arrives in the next 3-4 weeks. They have plates available, and for the 4 door version (I assume 2 door is the same), the cost is $5,200 including GST, and that includes an $1,100 allowance new 17" tyres (the tyres HAVE to be absolutely brand new). I have paid a deposit and it is all organised already, so they DEFINITELY do it. Call Joanne Easterbrook 8262 6055, they are at 75 Churchill Rd North, Dry Creek. I found a place in Brisbane that can do it for $3,850 (without tyres), but the cost of trucking etc is not worth the small saving. Let him know that the car has to be COMPLETELY stock to go through compliancing - COMPLETELY STOCK - no ifs, ands, or buts. Subsequently I have tracked down some stock R34GTT wheels (thanks mxtcy), stock suspension (from Abo Bob), and am still looking for a stock 4-door exhaust. I am personally going to pick up the car from the wharfs, take it home and stock it out, then deliver it to Best Enterprises for compliancing. I think as part of the process they send it through Regency for you, so the car is ready to register when you get it back. The whole process takes around 2 weeks, and Best Enterprises have to get plate approval etc from Canberra, so need 2-3 weeks notice before they are allowed to touch the car.

I had a look at the r34 my friend was telling me about and all that has been done to it is a 3' exhaust and 18' mags. i have another friend with a completely stock r34 gtt. would this work if the 2 guys swapped a few parts while the process was happening??

That is still a good price!

Yeah, you can drive to the workshop on your tyres, but you must have a new/current receipt for them, else they will not comply. There are a heap of different things you have to do before the car can go in for compliance .... you have to sign a RAW work agreement form and pay $1,265 deposit before they can even apply for an import approval. An approval takes between 7-10 days and comes from Canberra. Only then can they even think about actually doing the compliance. It is vital you/he get a strict inspection somewhere else to make sure the car is 100% ok for compliance, as if the compliance workshop finds one tiny bit of dent or rust in the chassis or vital parts, they will immediately and without discussion brand the car damaged, and you can NEVER get it complied in Australia - even if you fix the damage. The car then has to be scrapped, or you have to pay to have it exported. They take this VERY seriously, and there is absolutly no leeway for compliance workshps, they 100% work within the guidelines.

This is a bit odd. My family work in both light and commercial aviation, and no wreck is considered "not repairable". If it is cheaper to fix than replace, it will gey fixed. (this includes planes that crash into trees and have the wings ripped off) So long as the work is signed off by a Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, all is good.

Why do they let aircraft fly after a wreck but not a car with a minor problem?

I dont doubt your word Andrew, but just dont understand the logic used by government. I guess they will do anything to protect local manufacturers.

yeah it doesn't make much sense .... even things like the tyres have to be BRAND NEW makes no sense .... as long as the tyres are roadworthy why does it matter?

But yeah, when you sign the RAWs work agreement it explicitly says at the bottom "I, xxxx, understand that if I purchase an accident damaged or rusted vehicle it will, under the import regulations, be required to be scrapped or exported." Very harsh if it is an accident repaired vehicle - even some very minor accidents are considered unroadworthy - even if they are completely professionally fixed!! Show me ANY 1999 falcodore that would satisy these criteria and I would eat my hat! (Well not literally, but you get my point).

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
