eng cert does not come from workshops, you have to go to the pit and get a list of approved engineers. The ones I had, he is a retired mechanical engineer.

he looked at the Australian standards for the vehicle and compare it with what you have. he'll then make a report to be submitted to the pits.

They have nothing to do with garages as they are meant to me impartial third party

pit, vehicle inspection centre I think its named that way because of the hole underneath to inspect the underside of the car. They do it this way in W.A not sure in melb. I don't recomend getting eng cert unless you got yellow sticker.. its quite expensive

Im using the guys in Braeside - Enkelman and Associates

They are quite good, a few people i know have used them now and their prices are some of the best in Vic.

Some engineers are charging far too much but these guys are good priced

I also used Enkelman and Associates for my Pulsar, I needed an engineers to legally drive around with an SR20DET in the car. It was expensive, but they were extremely reasonable about the modifications.

Compliance and Engineers are two totally different things.

You need an engineers as but a part of compliance

$1200 is normal for compliance non DIY (things like AC gas, seat belt are other things that need doing etc)

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
