Again. I have rung the RTA and all previously engineered cars are fine.

This is in NSW, anyway.

There is so much mis-information going on about this subject its not funny, if you want the REAL information ring or visit your local RTA.

DON'T BELIEVE HALF THE RUBBISH YOU READ ON INTERNETS.

Engineering Certification Scheme (ECS) certificates

The VSCCS replaced the Engineering Certification Scheme (ECS) on 19 December 2011.

If you have already submitted your ECS certificate to the (former) RTA or RMS it will not be affected by the VSCCS.

ECS certificates not yet submitted to RMS should be taken to a motor registry by 19 June 2012. From 20 June 2012, if you have not submitted your ECS certificate you will need to get a VSCCS certificate.

iF YOU WANT CORRECT INFORMATION GO THE THE RELEVANT AUTHORITY, NOT THE RAMBLINGS OF A "INTERWEBS EXPERT".

And once a cop defect's you for your old engineering cert and needs to be checked again under the "New rules"

What are you gonna do then ?

My rules come from Indy So @ IS MOTOR RACING , he is going 100% by the book of what the VSCCS has told him.

edit : at the end of the day what the government put's on there website doesn't mean shit , there so claimed " No changes to the engineering law's" is a load of shit go try get your car fully engineered with the new engineer's and see what happens either you will get a shit job that will get constantly recalled, or the engineer would shut down

Facts is what is needed not hearsay, if your car is engineered and no further changes have taken place then the defect WILL be cleared, police will defect you if they think it has been changed outside of your certification, that is their job.

I've been pulled over twice by the police with the RTA road side inspection van, they look at my cert, check the car then let me go, if you follow the rules you will be fine.

Unless you act like a knob or have changed your car so it doesn't comply anymore that is, its the people will low ride height, ATMO BOV, loud exhaust that have had it engineered then have changed it that will get done.

Keep it as per the certification or too bad so sad, sell it and buy a Camery.

And people can sook all they like, me I don't care about someone crying that they got defected, fix the non conforming parts and deal with it.

I definitely think it's about time we step up our game and counteract the police actions thrown against us. From the numerous forums I've been on, I have heard of plenty of issues with police officers targeting imports.

One such instance was when a police officer gave a car a defect label because it had rusted boot screws. Another instance? Someone had their car defected because their drivers side seatbelt didn't retract quickly enough.

It's getting out of hand. I want the dickheads off of our street, but you can't label us all dickheads from the cars we drive. Sounds a lot like someone targeting people on the colour of their skin, only different.

I'd sign any petition you guys had. I fully support this idea.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
