Engineers, Anyone Know Any? Prefer Melbourne


Recommended Posts

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.

this sounds like the man i need to see :blink: , anyone know how i can track him down?

Im not reall %100 sure about everything..

But when i do go get a engineers certificate, it will state that my car is legal with the neccersary mods, would i need to go back to vicroads with this? or just keep a copy in my glove box? with epa, ive fitted everything like the charcole canister/airbox/cat.

But other than that, it been engineerd can save me alota of hassels right? and if he says no he will tell me what i need to get done?

thanks guys

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.

.

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..

Im not reall %100 sure about everything..

dude,

i have a friend who is a qualified mechanical (automotive) engineer that can help you out.

he is really good and only wants to do the job one way, and that's the right way.

his name is Paul Bottomley and he is part owner of APS( Automotive Performance Solutions) over in Heidelberg, give him a call on 9455 3222.

let him know that u know myself (goran - rs500), and he should help you out.

cheers.

, 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

If the car is already registered with an RB25, then thats all you need to worry about.

but still, it being engineered dose help!

No it does not help one iota.

so i mayaswell get somthing on paper to shut up the picky cops

You cant get it engineered with a PowerFC

You cant get it engineered with a boost controller.

You cant get it engineered with a I/C and a pod etc etc etc

If thats what you think an engineer is going to approve... then your mistaken...

You would also need an emissions test if thats what you wanna do... and that isnt cheap.

End of the day, if its registered with an RB25, then the police cant do anything relating to that if the motor is in standard spec.

What exactly do you need an engineers to "stop" the police picking?

hrmm many things in this thread conflict, but i trust your word ash!

When i got pulled over he only picked on the pod and didnt say a thing about the cooler, he assumed i had the rb30e and turbo'd it. Epa sent me a letter, but just said to fix it, i didnt have to go there phewf

If its rego'd with the RB25 and you got an EPA

just rock-up to the EPA and they will go through the checks for the RB25 :D

The EPA dont give a rats a$$ what motor is in the car, only that it has the pollution gear associated with the motor that is in there when you go for the test etc etc

End of the day, if its registered with an RB25, then the police cant do anything relating to that if the motor is in standard spec.

I'm not surprised the OP is confused after this sort of statement, particularly when I thought we'd already sorted this. Anyway, it's very simple:

The OP has an Oz spec R31 now fitted with an RB25DET. The fact that engine was not offered by Nissan as an option for that model means that, by law, he requires an engineers certificate (ie VASS) to show that the conversion meets VicRoads engineering requirements, plus Vicroads might also want to inspect the car. Also:

- the fact that he was able to change the engine number just means that the drone at Vicroads simply didn't know what he/she was looking at;

- ditto for any cop that doesn't pick it up - which is probably just dumb luck.

- ditto for a RWC inspection.

All the requirements are shown on the Vicroads website. Without the engineers certificate the car is illegal and all his insurance is invalid.

He said it was registered with an RB25

That means

1) It says RB25DET on the rego sticker

2) It has RB25DET on the VicRoads records.

If its got to that point, it doesnt matter what did/did not happen in the past at the time of motor alteration.

When you go in to change that the VicRoads officer shouldnt let it pass without the correct documentation.

If VicRoads due to thier own poor ability to monitor staff have changed the record, then you've had a win.

Same for canaries that just "disappear" off the system sometimes :D

that reminds me, i need a new sticker, and yes the car is registerd with the rb25det..

AFAIK i didnt no much back then, so got a rwc with the car ect... and went to vicroads like you normaly would, and that was it :mellow:

    • 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
