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

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
