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.

    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
