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.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
