Cutting a hole and mounting does require an engin cert. Cops have tried to defect my GTR that came stock with FMIC... It really does suck. The cops in ACT currently have a hate where you "can't have an FMIC and a BOV" it's one or the other. I mean seriously what the hell? i mean im ALL for safety in cars. But some times its a bit silly me thinks.

In saying that goodluck with getting it all sorted!

Intercooler + a hole cut in the inner guard is perfectly legal WITHOUT an engineers certificate.

You lot need to learn your standards of what is owner certifiable and be able to politely inform the police of such items and you will avoid defects.

the risk with informing politely is if you find someone that happens to know the slightest bit more they will go to town on you for trying to be smarter!

If they're booking you for owner certifiable, they don't know their shit.

If that does upset them that you've informed them it's owner certifiable and they do go to town on you for things that you actually have modified illegally, then that's your problem for actually having illegal mods.

List of things that do NOT require certification: This list was generated from a Q&A held at Eastern Creek by the RTA, at a Motoring Enthusiasts Conference on 26/02/2012. See full PDF below.

Sorry, didn't copy and paste how I thought it would, so the list is the first link above.

Proper legal stuff. Its like the PDS/FSG of cars. Boring as batshit, but covers their ass completely.

I am a crim/traffic lawyer in Sydney and I am keen to embark on a test case with respect to police issued defect notices.

If anyone in Sydney has recently been issued with a defect notice from NSW Police and has

Not been to have the defect cleared, please PM me.

Hmm I read your link(https://sites.google.com/site/no2vsccs/3-permitted-modifications/modified-cars/modifications-reviewed-with-stakeholders) and this seems to show modifications which do need certification. If this is the case, there is no listing there about a pod or fmic. It does say if you fit a turbo charger which increases power output by 20% of the original stated, but it leaves out alot of obvious things. It doesn't say anything about engine management, I always thought this was a big point.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
