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.
