0R10N Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Just a serious general query Pete, are you dealing directly with compliance yourself, or is it all included in the overall cost of bidding/purchasing/shipping? Â If so which company(s) did you go through in the end? PM me if you'd rather not divulge publically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I quite enjoy the contrast between the outside of the car (swooshy lines, and quite frankly beautiful appearance)  Compared to the strut towers in the engine bay (Which look like a high school metal work project)It obviously does the job etc, but just not quite what I was expecting to see! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Time for a fezz Ed? Â Haha, I wish! Â No, I'm just sick of dealing with compliance directly and having no recourse for anything that might go wrong (it's happened every single time I've imported a car into NZ by myself) - mildly keen to offload my next planned purchase to a RMVT, dealer/agent, or someone that has CGA or warranty liablilty.

V8Pete Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Just a serious general query Pete, are you dealing directly with compliance yourself, or is it all included in the overall cost of bidding/purchasing/shipping? If so which company(s) did you go through in the end? PM me if you'd rather not divulge publically. Yeah, just taking all the risk and dealing with it myself. Complied two renaults at VINZ Mt Wellington. One went through without any issues, the other needed a fog light. Vantage and 348 went through Penrose Compliance. Vantage needed a headlight and 348 needed a repair inspection (to say it hadn't been repaired) and door release cable. Both compliance places seem alright but VINZ seemed to take longer. Penrose Compliance is pretty much a same day service except for the cars both failing. Haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Cheers Peet! Â It sure sounds like modern/exotic cars fly through compliance. Mind you I've only brought in rusty Japanese shitters so far, therefore my results are somewhat skewed. Â Actually looking at a modern thing to import next so we'll have to see...

Seedy Al Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 whats a repair inspection worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I paid about $750 for the repair inspection on the MR2, think the cost varies from certifier to certifier though. Â And the guy had to come and look at it twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 whats a repair inspection worth?Mine was $170 I think. It wasn't a full on one, but just a thing to say there wasn't actually a repair under some aftermarket paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I needed a engineers report on the c10. Was 400 that was for rust/inspection of rust repairs I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 On the HVAC panel, there's a button that says RISC. In all the other panels I've found photos of on the internet, it says HEAT instead. What is RISC? Is it Italian for heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Riscaldamento = heating, so I'd guess it's an abbreviation? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
