Not simple, your entire car must be legal and in a safe roadworthy condition to get the cert - I got knocked back for being 10mm too low (not ride height), sloppy diff mount, dodgy wheel balancing weights, and exhaust volume.

My problem with getting an engineers certificate before your booked is it means nothing when you are pulled over.

Even if I I got booked, got the certificate, cleared the defects then the very next day an officer goes I dont like that - go straight to the pits.

The cert may help with the bits engineered.

But whos to say it hasnt changed and needs another certificate.

Plus they do the LOT again.

I say make a run for it......nah not really.

You make it sound so simple, but I bet it's a lot harder in practice to get a cert

Edit:just saw troys post, sounds like a real bitch to do!

its more of a bitch if you have to go and get full emissions testing on top, which i had to do.

also gets your cert over 2k and requires trips to sydney for testing.

Ultimately I could still get pulled up for exhaust being too loud, atmo BOV, HID headlights, and potentially (though unlikely) rear window tint.

Plus the cop could defect you on whatever he wanted, you just wouldn't have a problem getting the defect retracted once you got to Dickson if it was issued in error (engineer's cert or just wrong).

That being said, like I said above - I've never had any problems with ACT police. In my experience, they've always been very easy going guys. Probably because I'm so goddamn polite and well mannered, even when I'm pulled up for speeding I just get a warning. They've never even looked twice at my car let alone questioned it.

When I got pulled over and given a warning for doing 90 in an 80 zone (damn parkes way and it's speed changes) the cop was reasonably nice about it I guess but I wasnt trying to get into a confrontation with him about it either.

I suppose as long as you don't give them a reason to pull you over with crazy driving then you should be pretty right in terms of getting defected.

Yeah I think even a decent set of coilovers will bring it close to what I need with some fresh bushes

It's pretty scary to be honest I haven't unleashed its full power gain as its just to jumpy and bumpy.

Also with my 4x4 status it's got a lot of roll haha

Pfft dont worry too much im running a little more power and stock suspension and drivetrain and it handled wakefield on the weekend fine And was in the fastest group all day. Even gave ur tuner a good run! Besides not scraping on every speed hump is awesome. The stock suspension is pretty good in these things. Enjoy the new power.

If I had decent stock suspension I would have to probably agree.

But my one is shot to shit haha.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.

      Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender

      I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
