thanks guys

Depending on the cage, who made it, and if it was made to VicRoads specifications will determine if you can Engineer it or not.

If it really is a full cage, then probably unlikely.

See here to get you going.

sorry for the knob question but what is the point of getting an engineers certificate cant cops still put canarys on your car?? (by the way not being a smart ass serious question)

yeah i get what ya mean i guess

the shit (but good this was) after getting my engineers cert i havent been pulled over ( in 1.5 years) before i did my engine convserion and all the work i was pulled up 13 times in 8 months - the car was stock with a 2.5'' muffler THATS ALL!!!!!!

that 13 times includes 3 times in 1 easter weekend! LOL!!

as the other bloke said it may not stop you from being defected but MOST cops do acknowldge if you ahve taken the time and money to get it done by the book - which in the end is the way things have to be taken

Engineers covers the mechanicals.

Motor swaps, upgraded brakes/suspensions, gearboxes etc

Defects generally are things totally unrelated to a engineers like tyres, intake mods (x2), boost controllers etc.

So really unrelated to engineers signoffs

But im wondering here, if your vehicle is engineered with one intake mod, its completely passed. Can you then have your one intake mod after the engineered one? And fight it on a technicality?

No you cannont.

It clearly states in the EPA Guidelines that you are only allowed ONE intake mod.

So if you have two, then you will get pinned.

Its upto YOU to know the laws surrounding modifications with various gov't bodies.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
