I just got recently pulled over by a cop and he told me that I would need an engineers certificate for my fmic.

Is this correct?

He didn't book me for it but just gave me a warning.

Does anyone know any places where I can get a engineers certificate close to Penrith, Sydney area?

Hoe much do these cost?

if u have a box around ur pod then a fmic should be fine, i had no drama;s gettin pulled over before when the car was like that...

if u plan on doin alot more mods then a guy here in wollongong can do a certificate for $500

ben...

prices start at $500 and go upwards from that. Plus you might need to carry out structural strength/vulnerability testing, collision simulations etc. Then there's the fact that the FMIC can alter emissions, and for that you need an EPA engineers cert... and that's big bucks

EPA tests are free in NSW ( at Penrith RTA) but i don't like your chances of passing a none stock car, especially late model car.

I have been there and done it , a stock R33 GTR just makes it and i mean totally stock.

Actually the cop didn't even know that it was an intercooler.

He said that the car has a radiator already so why do I need that one.

I said that it came with the car.

he didn't like the fmic pipe that goes over the engine.

I also had my stock airbox on although the snorkel was missing because I haven't had the chance to modify it yet

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
