The rego papers say "modified as per report number XXXX.1234.YY by Trent McMahon" so i googled "trent mcmahon vehicle engineer" and found;

Trent McMahon

Telephone: (07)3398 4126

Fascimile: (07)3398 4126

E-Mail: [email protected]

and

McMAHON Trent (IE Aust)

OS Imports Pty Ltd

So do i contact that guy to see if he's the same Trent McMahon or try the RTA?

You have the correct person. I have used Trent before and have his mobile if you need it.

Where is the car registered?

NSW.

So i guess i'll contact him to see if he has the report.

NSW.

So i guess i'll contact him to see if he has the report.

Mate sorry to say if the car has been engineered in one state ie qld Then you register it in anotherthe engineer's report is void. but if its got nsw rego just dont let it run out for longer than 3 months pinkslip's cant knock it if its been registered with the mods. blueslips are a pain if its a skyline with a magenta/pink import sticker to pass a blueslip they want the original copy of the consumer information notice. good luck with it.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
