hi all

can any one tell me were i can get a engineer certificate from for a fron mount and bov, in newcastle area??

name and numbers if possable please.

thanks.......

try the rta's website for a list of engineers in NSW

also ATMO bovs are illegal, as in you cant engineer them, sorry to disapoint you

why dont u get a stock bov and goto ebay and buy a fake bov electronic one.. bingo no defect they wont no wat it is.

i dont get what you mean lol........

So basically a quiet exhaust on the car from a reputable brand can be engineered?

Basically, no.

The brand of exhaust and the volume of noise from the exhaust when tested to the requirements of the EPA/RTA are mutually exclusive.

By quiet, if you mean less than what is shown in the RTA guidlines, then yes it is ok, once again irrespective of brand.

the vehicle has to reach a standard of not only roadworthy-ness but the RTAs standard for emission etc as well.

EPA's (Environmental Protection Agency) emissions standards - noise pollution and exhaust pollution regulations have to be adhered to - and regulations for cars is different depending on year of manufacture, etc. Is many a rule.

An exhaust from any brand can be engineered if it meets epa specs. Some of the newer ones are specifically designed to be high performance and quiet - but sometimes depends how much echo and such is present where test is being done.

Guy we went to was legit, and i would recommend. Did the noise test at different rpm in different locations till it passed. (Failed badly the 1st time, so put another resonator in it, came back, failed, went to a different location and different rpm, passed).

Awesome. Not really worried about the noise not passing, but more on emissions (I'm a nube in exhaust emissions and what they should be - don't think spelling the exhaust from the outside is a smart move or a correct indicator :D).

What does 'engineered' actually involve? My novice perception was that they just check if its road safe and meets the regulations...

Before you get the car engineered you have to have an emissions test done at either Botany or Penrith testing centres. Its free,and is required by whoever you get to engineer your car

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
