I'm looking at importing a R32 GTS-t Type M through J-Spec in the next few weeks, but the quote they're giving me for compliance is about $4000.

I was hoping to see if anyone here has had their car done here in Adelaide since the new laws came into effect and what they thought of the workshop?

J-spec also said that the only workshops they knew of that had "R32 plates" were in QLD and NSW? Surely I don't have to get my car complied interstate?

Cheers guys

SlimJim - I bring in a fair few cars and get most of them done interstate. It's no big deal - just get the ship to drop it in Qld, then truck it down when they're finished. I've got $3500 on R32 compliance in Qld - PM me for details.

But doesnt the transport fee defeat the purpose of saving money on compliance?

correct me if im wrong please.

Yes... I have been thinking about this over the weekend and I don't really like the idea of just trusting the workshop guys picking my car up from the docks and complying it and all that before I even see it. Let alone what you mentioned about the cost of transporting it over here to Adelaide after.

Whats the deal with these RAWS workshops anyway? Can you get your car complied at a workshop that isn't RAWS? How long has this RAWS business been going on, because my friend just got his RX7 done here in Adelaide and the only 2 RAWS accredited workshops for RX7s are interstate?

:D

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
