Gone done for exactly the same thing when i was pulled over by him. Hole in body for intercooler pipe. Was cleared easy. Hope that $600 is not a lot for you because that what you are going to pay for your engineers cert.

NO, everyone should know by now Knox is not the place to be.

Tell him to go and get F**K for this engineers for my cooler piping hole what a joke the hole on a gtr .

That hole is standard in Gtr, front mount is standard so basically you're allow to have the pod filter. Anything else apart from that? Zorst? Gauges? Lowered? Easy fix. Don't stress over dickh**d like that.

its easy to say dont stress but when u get a car engineered they wont just look at that they will look over the hole car so ill have to take out front camber adjusters and coilovers and exaust and new cat and shit its just alot of f*#king around.

Im thinking about moving to QLD what are they like up there can u mod your car and not get hassled or is it the same as down here maybe i should move to japan mmmm nice jap girls could be an idea

what about my safc and electronic boost controller should i hide them hahaahh

what about strut tower braces are they illegal 2 and engine dampner.

do they drive the car because i also have a 2way diff in it dunno if that illegal

f**k i hate vic its turned into such a shit hole i remember when cops ust 2 target commo drivers

thats until mum's and dad's thought they would buy there supid son that knows nothing about cars just wants to be fully sick a nice WRX or R33 or 200SX or any other import for that matter and then there son drives like a f*#king wankers get cought speeding or doing burnouts and f**ked it for the rest of us god i wish imports became a not kool car to drive life to be so much better

You will have to source a stock solenoid for your boost, Im sure someone on here will let you borrow one. As for SAFC, you have to take it out. Strut braces are fine. I had them front and rear, not a problem. Wouldnt know about the engine dampener. As for the diff. I had an aftermarket one in there too. They didn't drive my car anywhere so don't worry bout it.

Trust me people make it seem like getting an EPA or Defect as the end of the world but its not.

There's a thread that was started only a month or 2 ago where one of the SAU members said he had read all the relevant paperwork and found that you don't need to get the hole engineered at all....search for that and you might be able to save yourself some money...

petit knows jack shit, his a wanna be mechanic, if you know your laws, nor everything infront of the firewall needs and engineers cert, only unless u have cut into the chasis, not the box..

there is a whole thread about it around 2months back now, and i even posted all the appropraite laws to suit.

Mate i feel for you

just got done for the same thing end of last year... ended up costing me 1500 bucks plus a few extra parts to get it cleared....

PM me if you want me to give some details as to how i went about it all.,..

Best of luck

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
