Hey all,

Looking into getting an engineering certificate for a line. Basically just after some info from people who've done it, tips, pricing etc. Feel free to PM me if you'd like.

Who have you used ? Were they good/easy to deal with etc.

The setup is

r33 gtst

gt2871r on stock manifold

fmic (not return flow unfortunately)

Pod

injectors/fuel reg/fuel pump in tank

coilpacks

apexi pfc, hand controller, apexi boost controller kit

turbo back exhaust, ceramic high flow cat

r34 wheels with 235/45/17

dba4000 slotted f/r rotors, braided lines

Things done/to be done before going for cert.

Pod boxed

hole cut for the fmic will be reinforced (looked this up in the self certifiable mods in the rta pdf)

Weld on an exhaust silencer to bring noise levels down

Remove pfc hand controller

shave "nissan" logo off front calipers so the 34gtt wheels can go on without a 3mm spacer

Thanks in advance

Will doing the above likely let the car pass the cert ? Or will the injectors/turbo etc cause it to fail?

Gonna ring a few places but doubt i'll get free advice.

Err.. forgot about the sussy.

Bilstein shockies, hks springs. I gotta check if lowest point on car is above 100mm but pretty certain it is.

Just rang one place, they want a $220 inspection fee which then provide a solid quote to go on as they've had too many people not fully disclose and the costs blow out.

i brought a skyline from qld to nsw and had to get a blueslip. car has pretty much the same as urs and i had to put the stockies on (had 19" deep dish), pod box, and weld a hole in da exhaust. i just did it all one weekend and got it ticked off the next week...

Any chance you can list what you have done to your car?

Piggaz

pretty much the car has the following on the engineers report

exhaustfrom the turbos back with a noise test done

130mm intercooler

Coilovers and lowered

19 x10.5 wheels

gauges in the air piller

oil catch can

Airfilters with a airbox

Cheers

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
