You don't need a good engineer, you need a good builder who is up to speed with the ADR and what is/isn't legal, then when you have it to compliance with the regulations the engineer can come out and do his thing with his tape measure and sensor thingies once, if you need to get him out a couple of times its gonna cost you more.

Have you done the calculations for the VQ35, The formula for max capacity is on the RTA web site under "modifications"

AFAIK, there is currently like 2 workshops that will do engineering and they only will engineer work they did them selves. Apparently the new engineering licences cost too much due to insurance and stuff so no one wants a bar of them. i know a guy that wants to get his RB25 S14 registered in NSW but cannot find an engineer in the whole state that will do it. Rang all the candidates and all but 2 didnt do it anymore.

Just what i heard. Someone correct me if im wrong.

there will be more and more engineers coming out this year..

since this new "scheme" is only like a month old not many have registered or updated there details on the Roads & Maritime Services - NEW RTA NAME

the system is actualy better then before. all the engineering details are send to RMS directly from the engineer, so this saves carring an eningeer report with you and he said she said on the side of a road.

basically the enigineer will tell RMS what has been engineered send all the paper work to them directly.

depending on the modification you wont even need to see a RMS counter the engineer can update there system online.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
