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.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
