Engineers, Anyone Know Any? Prefer Melbourne


Recommended Posts

hey thanks man!

hrmm thats gay, i read it all and it says it only lasts 30days, i though it was somthing you can carry around as proof your car is all legal. My car is already registerd with the rb25det so no dramas, but you know, the police :P

Being registered with an rb25det does not mean it is legal. :unsure:

But i didn't know about the 30 day thinggy.  There must be something that is permanent.

well yeh, other wise i couldnt register the car, its cause its a smaller capacity i got away with it.

ive been pulled over, no dramas, i have all necersary upgrades, so i mayaswell get somthing on paper to shut up the picky cops

what that means is for example....i put a rotary in say a nissan micra i got 30 days to get to vic roads to get it registered or let them view the vehicle to change there database..

but they wouldnt register it with out the proper upgrades

But i didn't know about the 30 day thinggy.  There must be something that is permanent.

The rules were changed when the VASS scheme was introduced 5 years or so back, basically to bring engineers certificates into line with RWC practices (ie expires after defined period if not presented to VicRoads). The certificate is 'permanent' once accepted by VicRoads and goes into their records, the owner also gets a copy (or should) from the engineer. That is: original to VicRoads and car owner also gets a copy.

Al is right, it's not legal. Doesn't matter that it has smaller capacity - quite apart from the fact that the power output is more than 10% over the standard engine's output, the Rb25DET wasn't offered as an option for the R31. You need an engineers certificate - if nothing else your insurance is invalid.

mate all i can say is what ever you do even if u live next door to this bloke dont even bother going to him. Guys to f*@#en strict.

PAul bottemly and hes in heidelberg

A really good engineer ive found to be is Archie Robertson hes in bayswater

Spot on. If you get pulled over they will ask for engineers etc and if you cant produce them you'll get a fine and i'd say have your registration cancelled. IF you've done things like upgrade brake system etc then you wont have a problem getting an engineers cert. What was said about the 30 days was also spot on. You have to produce it to vic roads for it to be vaild, after that laminate it and store it in a safe place.

Archie is alright but he picks on so much little shit, like the rear numberplate. The distance was spot on perfect and met vic roads regulations, But i still had to shave off 1mm either side of the plate so that there was a small gap between the plate and the reverse lights. I asked him what that was about considering cars off the showroom floor have those number plate plastic surround things and all he said was vic roads told him to make me do it. Too much little shit.

Is this for an engineers cert. If so you'll have to get in contact with Vic roads and get a list of engineers off them. Sanjay or something like that out of warntirna south is pritty good.

He is forgetful, and changes his mind every time he looks at your car. He's also in Glen Waverley, and will come to you. I don't have his details though.

Will charge $500 for an engineers cert. Inc. chassis and structural inspection. And braking distance and fade test.

Went thru this process when I had my R32 RB25DET

just to clear up some misconceptions, doesnt matter engine capacity, R32s even came out with Rb25DE and they said I still need a engineers.

Engineers can be real picky if they want to be as well with certain things.

Cops dont care if ur cars registered with it or not, you get the wrong copper and he knows its a conversion, thats it, I was a bit unlucky because the RB25 didnt look outta place in a R32, but in a R31 it certainly does.

I dont really see the huge point in getting it engineered anyway, theres still EPAs and defects to worry about, thats why I sold the car. As someone mentioned, for insurance purposes as well, it can be a problem.(even if you have 3rd party).

Some people choose to take the risk and run without changing anything, you most probably would get away, but theres always that chance.

but still, it being engineered dose help!

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
