Compliance Workshop *warning*

Recommended Posts

This thread is to notify anyone in Perth who is currently looking for compliance on their imported vehicle that there is an extremely unprofessional operator doing compliance work right now.

Their standard of work is low and respect for customers vehicle's is similar, with my car being taken for a joyride without me knowing and involved in an accident suffering serious damage. The wreck has been on-sold to someone,apparently without my knowledge. Before this happened, the compliance work took a very, very long time and was never completed. As such, I never even got to drive my own car.

I am not going to publish the workshop or it's owners name for obvious reasons. But if anyone is interested to know who this dodgy operator is please PM me and I will be more than happy to explain. Aside from myself, I know of at least 4 people who have suffered as a direct result of engaging this workshop's services.

And if the new owner of my vehicle is reading this (you will know when you read the above) can you PM me- I may be able to provide information on the car that you may be unaware of.

Don't get sucked in.

Hey guys. To clarify without going into too much detail; they are a 15yr workshop. My skyline was being complied there, but was taken out illegally by someone at the workshop. Thinking they were a drift champion they lost control and smashed my car into a pole (severe damage).

Like I've said right now I can't say too much here but I will get the PM's out to all those that have asked tonight.

Well as long as they arent a well known R33 compliance workshop then Im happy as my R33 is about to arrive in Australia and be complied in a particular NOR workshop.

PM me please if this shop sounds familiar.....

    • The offset doesn't really have anything to do with dish directly. I mean it kind of does but it also doesn't, it's only tangenial. The offset is purely how much offset (get it) the mounting face is from the CENTER of the width of the rim. I.e, the mounting face would be directly in the middle of the 9.5inches if it was a 18x9.5 ET0 rim. Given it is a +12 rim, the mounting face is 12mm further away from the center (to the outside of the car). Your fronts are +30, so the mounting face is 30mm further away from the center (to the outside of the car). I would wager this doesn't look right, because most skylines generally have the same with guards front to back. So I'd think your fronts look significantly more sunken in than your rears. I'd wager by about 18mm, or so.
    • My '96 r33 Skyline has Rota GTR, 18 x 9.5 inch, ET30 on the front and Rota GTR-D, 18 x 9.5 inch, ET12 on the rear. The 12mm offset is throwing me for a loop. Is it due to the "deep dish" design of the wheel that the offset it so low? If I were buying a set of new wheels, could I put 30mm offsets on the rear and reasonably expect them to fit? I have GTR Brembos and 370Z rotors (355mm/350mm) if it matters. Thank you.
    • here is the video, again really hard to hear but in person its very loud 20240703_175734.mp4
    • I drove my ER34 for the first time since I got it, It sat for 4 years in Japan, and i got it 7 months ago, have done a ton of work, garage test ran perfectly. (no air suction sound) BUT when accelerating (under a load) it makes a loud air suction sound, or anytime I get into the throttle...it sounds like a leaf blower. I also noticed that it did not seem to have very decent pull or power, and the boost gauge doesn't seem to go much above 0,  its stock other then full exhaust, apex intake, 50/50 bov and front mount intercooler. this is my first Turbo car so I don't know if this is correct? I did take a video but for some reason it is very hard to hear in the video, in person it literally sounds like some one has a leaf blower under the hood...my first though was a leak?? however I have check over all lines, clamps, hoses and fittings.   thoughts?
    • Yes! Finally, now we're talking
