R32Big_boy Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 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.

Al Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Being registered with an rb25det does not mean it is legal. But i didn't know about the 30 day thinggy. There must be something that is permanent.

SteveL Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 But i didn't know about the 30 day thinggy. There must be something that is permanent. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.

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.

R32Big_boy Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 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.

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 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.

Sanjay or something like that out of warntirna south is pritty good. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.

Starionturbo Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 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.
