Engineers Certificate

[aquariuz6]

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

No i think it is "structural" damage where the intercooler pipe goes threw the guard under where the battery is, you know the circular hole you cut out when installing the cooler, hence why he said you would need an engineering certificate.

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

[Bliksem]

none of the above applied for me when getting a cert, only simple epa and check to see if the fmic wasnt fitted with anything that could cause excess damage in a pedestrian collision (sharp edges etc)

cost: around $400

[Crimpage]

is that for each mod that requires a engineers cert? Or does that cover the car overall? Adding $400 to each mod can make it a very exspensive hobby. More than it already is... :|

I had my entire cefiro (engine transplant, all bolt ons, all suspension, diff, interior stuff etc) done for $300. No EPA, just sound and visual check.

And would anyone have contact details to post up?

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.

can someone please post or pm details of an engineer in sydney and also a place that can do a "good" blue slip? i just got my car back and would love to drive it.

any help would be appretiated!!!

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
