Hi guys, not sure where to post this so sorry if in wrong place. where the best place to get a engineer certificate??? and ruffy how much?

im in sydney

go to rta website, type in engineers - gives u a list of engineering signiatories. took mine to mobility engineering in hornsby. how much depends on what u want engineered. most places charge $500 and up. the main thing they want to see is that it passes noise and emission test - exhaust below 90db, needs to be tested by EPA, in botany. i had a 5 inch tacho installed on passenger side dash which had to be removed for safety reasons. basically the car needs to be safe and pass adr legislation

hope that helps

Thats a pain in the ass. Does anyone know what legal mods you can do to ur line, if any?

This is for Vic, each state will have their own legislation though. Try the web, search EPA websites. Also you can look at the dotars website for ADR's etc.

shit, n i thought we had it bad in perth with all the antyhoon laws that they take the car away just for a little burn out or "slip".

lots of times if u take the car to a diffrent pit with more felixi engineers n talk to them nicly they will not ask for engneer papers for smal mods like u mentioned anyways.. well thats the case in perth. the only two times we had to get one of them was with a fully rebult n turboed honda type R and a gtir/SSS convergen .. but that is cuz usualy when we take the car to the pits here we make sure we take off all extra little things n boost them down a little, put a silencer in them and take the blow off out.. if the work on the car dont look home made n there is nothing moving, leacking or sounding too bad then they are usualy ok with it provided u get a nice person.. it might be worth ur time trying in a cuple of diffrent places b4 u look for engineering cert with small mods like that..

good luck

thanks heaps guys!!!!! got hassled by cops for HKS SSQ BOV.... and intercooler.... and apexi filter......and exhaust.... blah blah blah!!!! $128 warning!!!!! he said fix them. in my mind... GET f**kED! i lov my car!!!! hehehehehhehe

BOV and filter are illegal, exhaust will have to be shut up to make it comply, good luck

PS they really are in some ways trying to help, as the BOV will decrease your fuel ecomomy and make the emissions heaps worse.

i was told by my mechanic that if your BOV is 'plump back' as a pose to 'vent to atmosphere' it's perfectly legal. And that pod filters can be made legal if there are boxed on all six sides. I could be wrong though

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
