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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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

Garth

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
