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.

i got my current car engineered - it was and had...

86 'Mazda familia wagon

1.6 turbo conversion

bigger brakes front and rear

front mounted intercooler and piping

later model 323 seats

bigger wheels

and all the other jazz that goes with an engine conversion

cost me 480~?? and that was a flat price

the guys name is Sanjay and he comes to your house

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.

13 times in 8 months huh?

what's your licence record like?

no offence, but do you drive like a dickhead?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
