Engineers, Anyone Know Any? Prefer Melbourne

[NateR31]

anyone recommend any? not tightasss ones, but resonable ones? post up in here or shoot me a pm, thanks! :lol:

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.

[ylwgtr2]

kevin williams in plenty is the go...or you could try geoff watters

[NateR31]

any of you guys have details/area of these guys, past experiences?

[GTSR22]

[R32Big_boy]

Vic Roads website, there is a list there with contact details including areas where they are from.

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

[Al]

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.

[ylwgtr2]

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..

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

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

[R32Big_boy]

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.

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.
