Hi guys,

I have a car I got engineered many years ago in NSW. At the time it was OK to use a NSW engineers certificate and the car was registered.

Now the car has been unregistered for many years and I have come to find out that ACT no longer accepts NSW engineers certificates.

The certificate was for an engine conversion.

My question is, if my cars rego papers show the new engine number, do I need to still supply the report going over the pits?

If I do need to get an ACT engineers certificate, I have been told to use that Wilkinson John person (may have the name wrong). What does he do exactly, and how much does he charge?

Thanks

Any idea what the go is with coilovers? I have heard 100s of conflicting reports, not only by car enthusiasts but also by the people at the pits in Dickson. Last time I asked there (2 months ago) they told me they are completely fine, yet the time before they told me they are illegal, and other times I have heard they are legal so long as they are welded and cannot be adjusted for height

Last time I checked coilovers were fine, but the adjustment had to be set. I spoke to an engineer and explained I like to take the car out to the track sometimes and he said he would just place markers where the coilovers needed to be.

my car (including coilovers) was engineered by Canberra motor works (Ray Spence).

it required my car to meet the minimum ground clearance requirements and the adjustment part is painted and clamped to indicate if there has been any changes to lower them.

for an engine conversion with different brakes etc it will be a whole lot more!

There is a heap more to it than the typical skyline with just a bigger turbo and coilovers

which is why mine was more along the lines of 2k + trips to sydney for emissions tests.

      Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
