I will be looking to get the Laurel complied very shortly, and have a few questions.

Where abouts on the Gold Coast would be a good place to go, and what money would they charge to comply a C33?

What parts would i need to do it myslef and how much would it cost me then to get it checked over and marked off as complied?

The car came in under the old 15 Year rule, will thinks like 8 Point Cage, Bride Seat, etc.... have to come out for compliance?

The car has an RB25 with usual mods, will the engine have to be mod plated to be complied? or does that only apply once i am trying to get rwc?

Thanks in Advance

Mark, Registering it as a 2 Seater does not bother me in the slightlest, that was the plan.

I know I could just get the Cage, Seat etc. Mod Plated although my reasoning for this question is for the fact that I will be complying it although not registering it straight away (unless you wanna lend me $1000 :lol: )

So as I said due to Mod Plates not being done until after compliance when i am getting a RWC for rego, will I have to take those things out to comply it?

Any help on any of the questions will be great.

Thanks Mark, Speak to you soon champ.

You won't need to remove those items to have the vehicle complied.........however all of the things you mentioned will require a Mod plate.......this will entail the vehicle being checked over by an authorised engineer to ensure that the abovementioned modifications have been carried out in a safe manner.

Compliance for a 4 door vehicle (such as a laurel) will cost you about $1500 to have it done RIGHT..........There are plenty of people out there that will do it for less.....some of which have previously retained the japanese seatbelts etc. (i assume they fit new ones and swap them back after engineer has signed it off)

I am a big believer in "DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME" as i will cost you alot more if you are dragged over "pits" at bundall and it is noticed your compliance is not up to scratch.......it will come back on YOU. (The engineer will simply say that it was right when he saw it)

Thanks Nico and Mark all this is a huge help!

Ok, so If i only want to get it complied at first I can drive it in with Cage, Seat, etc. and just pick it up when they are done, none of it has to come out? But when I want to register it I will then have to go and get a mod plate for cage, seat etc....

Is that right?

If so, Nico can you recommend anywhere on the coast to do compliance? And when you say $1500 is that drive in-drive out and does that price include or not include tyres?

Thanks again for your help.

Mark, the car gets here Tommorow, come down to Banzai Saturday arvie to have a gander :lol:

Hey Mate,

I can personally voutch for Innovative Auto Design in Spring Wood. The man to deal with is Dave he's an absolute champion. The turn around on my two vehicles was within 5 working days. Price was extremely resonable at $1300, cash, including the sign off. If anyone talks to him drop that andrew, from kudos or with the white ceffy, sent you.

I hope that helps,

Andrew

Rubber is not part of "15yr" compliance, although depending on condition it may be required for your RWC.

I hope that helps,

Hi Andrew, Mark mentioned to me that you had alot of luck with your compliance, I got your phone number of a secretdrift signature but i couldnt get a hold of you. Thanks for the recommendation and I will definately go see them once Im ready for compliance.

Thanks Again

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
