Desperate! In Need Of Engineers Cert.


Recommended Posts

Hi guys and girls. Well to cut a long story short im another one on the list to be pulled over in my skyline (r33 gts-t), bent over and f*ked! On sat night i was at knox minding my own business gettin cash out of the atm and sum drinks with a mate and a unmarked VE cop car pulled me over right in front of the police station on burwood highway. It was the one and only officer petit (however u spell it, cant read it on the notice).

Neways, i got defected for cooler pipes runnign through a hole in the body, epa'd for pod and a list of fines such as high powered vehicle on p plates and my rear p plate had fallen off, so they got me for that to.

Im now in desperate need of a engineer to pass my car to get this defect off. Ive spoken to a fair few from the VASS list on vic roads website and they hav either said they dont do cars or they wont pass it after i showed them some pics.

Can sum1 please tell me who they used to get a engineers cert in victoria. Im desperate!

did you cop 3 demerit points?

change the things on your car which are defected, go to any mechanic with a RWC license.. and get it passed.. easy..

with epa, you will haveto return ur car to complete stock

The only people that can give you a VASS are the people listed on the VicRoads website.

So if they say they wont touch it as is, thats how it is... and looking at those pics, i can see why as i've had engineers explain it to me in long discussions :D

No Engineer will ever sign off a chop job like that mate.

Anything that goes through there is not passable due to untested effects on air bags.

Time to get it properly welded up and the cooler properly installed.

i think any qualified engineer wont risk their licesnse to pass something that is obviously illegal. it aint cheap either i think. technically your car is deemed illegal hence the reason why the ones you have spoken to have knocked you back. your gonna have to pass the emmisions test which by the sounds of your mods you might not?

id say you'd have to make your car legal again to clear the defect. dunno about hipower for P's though. maybe someone else with experience can answer that one.

ive got a low exhaust pipe that i might have to re-weld to clear my defect. gotta do what you gotta i guess.

Look mate, here's my honest opinion - just spend the cash and get everything done right then get a legit RWC - this is what I have done... I've taken my BOV off, put my stock airbox on etc and now everything is good - for some sound etc, I really can't be bothered about getting defect notices... go stock as this is the safest and long-term fix... not worth it mate...

Good luck - I know it sucks... but get it fixed now...

As above

I doubt you'll get one anywhere, modern cars are a monocoque design...meaning every part of the shell contributes to it's structural integrity, with built in crumple zones to lessen the effects of any impact on it's passengers. Unlike older cars which had a full chassis.

Sounds over the top but that's how an engineer would view your modification to the inner guard.

The advise to return it to stock is sound advise, even better would be to get a car that's within the guidelines of your licensing restriction.

You might not have even got pulled in a 32.

ive got one for you....what if i owned that car,got pulled over and got done such as yourself.But instead i decided to unpick the skirt that sits between the rad support and the coil support and buy a new one from nissan and respot it in??If you have a major front ender and bend chassis rails and a panel shop gets paid from an insurance company to change the rails they dont make you get one of those reports......i would be argueing that

Petit got my mate for the FMIC pipping in his S15 the same way.

He got quoted quite alot to get it fixed and to get the engineers cert. To be honest mate, if you live in the area, petit is on any import cars ass, and he researches his stuff so he knows whats dodgey. I grew up in that area, and youll be lucky to get away with anything even slightly borderline. Sell the car and get a R32 GTST. Or return it to stock. Even then you will still have power to weight issues and the fines can go up to $1k now from memory, so not worth it.

PS: Ive actually had Petit come out to my house when there was a BBQ because there was too much noise. Several modified imports sitting out the front. But everyone was drunk and noone was driving so he didnt even bother. Lucky for us.

he can be an absolute ass from what i have heard, but he is just doing his job to the letter of the law mate. If your gonna be risking the safety of your car by doing bodgy jobs you gotta expect stuff like that to happen. Just get it fixed up and away you go :devil:

Not too sure about the too powerful. Do the r33's fall under the p/w ratio?

R33's do. A standard R33 GTST is over power/weight for P Platers. You can get either an NA R32/33/34 or a R32 GTST.

so basically you have no chance bud, you license will be gone quicker than you can imagine if its 3 points and a $1,000 fine. Just think is it really worth paying $2000 in fines + the cash to fix your car up to standard plus losing your license?

Maybe sell up for an N/A or a 32 gts-t?

Next time our good mate petit see's you (if he remembers your car) expect to be pulled over and raped again!

p.s if your car IS over the p/w ratio you should have lost your licese anyway shouldnt ya?

no p plates = 3 points and over p/w = 3 points?

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this ๐Ÿ™
    • Hi, Marek here ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
