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)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
