hey i was thinking about getting my 32 engineered for my full cage cause i figured since i do use it for street as well it would bail me out of plenty of trouble but was just wondering what the exact process is, like what do they inspect etc etc and how much would i be looking at?

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.

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
