Does anyone know of any engineers (preferably on the southside) that can mod plate my car?

I need to get an LO1 Mod plate because my car was complied in NSW under the 15 year rule. In QLD the vehicle is must be fitted with an LO1 Mod plate in order to register it.

I have called a few workshops that I was told could do them, but apparantly i need to find an engineer that can issue LO1 mod plates, as not all of them can.

Anyone got any details?

Thanks in advance.

I got a few numbers from them. 2 of them were disconnected, 1 of them no longer does it, another is unavailable til the 19th and one guy won't even look at the Engineers (compliance) Certificate I have from it being complied in NSW and wants to do a full check-over (compliance check) personally - up to $1500.

I've got a quote from one engineer that is able to check it out - starting from $250.

Looking for more so I can get the best price. Anyone got any more ideas/details?

Thanks in advance.

That's the response i got from most of them too, they wanted to charge an absolute fortune to do 5 mins work. I had both of my 15yo imports done through Recreational Vehicles at Molendinar (Gold Coast) for about $200. They don't really like the hassle of doing 15yo stuff though because they're so busy with SEVS cars.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
