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.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
