1. Rims which are 26 mm wider than standard listed on the tyre placard.

2. Exhaust dB level.

3. Gauges that reside within the vehicle dependant on situated height.

4. Proof of tint VLT

5. POD Filter

6. Ride height

7. BOV

Just a few off the top of my head that I would like a cert for. Also in the Sydney area.

why u need a engineer's certificate buddy?[/quote:f532c6a830]

for some peace of mind when cruising. having to re-mod the car to stock to pass EPA is a very expensive exercise.

I need (i think) a certificate for: pod, ride height & fmic.

do you need to get one for oil catch can, oil cooler, strut brace & exhaust? i doubt my exhaust is louder than 90db.

oh and i've still got the factory BOV so i don't have to get a cert for that do i?

FMIC ? You need a cert for FMIC ? Which ADR does it contravene ?

BOV, POD and Exhaust are all dB limits I think due to the sound made whilst venting to atmosphere (for atmo venting BOVs) and the induction noise of a non enclosed intake such as a cold air box. Alot of people are of the opinion that BOV and POD are due to gas emissions, however the RTA states it is the sound emission ADR that they are in breach of.

Is your BOV atmo venting or plumbed back ? Also with the exhaust you may as well get everything you can on the cert. If it's the difference between you going happily on your way after being pulled over, or having a canary just because the cop THINKS it's louder than 90 dB (they only have to THINK to lay a canary, and we all know this is not their strong point).

Hehehe, yeh it's the Vehicle Standards Information PDF No. 02 - Registered Signatories :lol: I just like getting personal references from people who have had the work done at a good price. Linked it below for anyone else that is after a look -

I'm still after personal references though as I'm more than happy to give my business to blokes who do a good job.

I'm a second tier tech support monkey for Dingoblue's porting management group (MNP/MNT) and due to our closure being imminent, apart from repetitive tasks such as running batches of cancellations (which takes about 15 mins if I drag it out) I have the whole day to myself. I've always been after a job where they pay me to do what I like.

Unfortunately it's getting so god damn boring I think I'll resign before they give me my redundancy :wink:

You work in a position which supports a product that becomes redundant and then decides it will continue on, and make sure no-one else knows your job. That way everyone leaves the company, however due to contractual agreements with the provider of your mobile services, these services must remain active for a period of time, and therefor you have a position which must remain active yet has minimal workload due to lacking of customer base.

The best part is writing out the processes for the next poor sod who will replace me once my position is redundant, as I'm going to make them as vauge as can be and god help them if they expect anything more :!:

    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
    • Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.
