not sure if im wrong but the intercooler isnt excatly something you'd need to get engineered unless if its one of those V mounts or the top mount intercoolers like those on WRXs

Or if they had to cut anything to fit it.

FMIC is legal on any car that came with an intercooler somewhere on the front from factory (side-mount on Skyrines count as "front") providing neither the reo bar nor any part of the chassis have been modified to fit it. This includes cutting a hole below your wiper-washer/radiator overflow reservoirs for the return pipe.

RTA will still defect you for a front mount even if it's legally fitted as per the above^^ They're useless cunts who don't even know the rules and regulations they're supposed to be working with as per the ADR...not until you go in there and draw on their ADR spec book showing them they're wrong.

Its a long read but.......

See my reo plates fo the pipes?

Up to regulation specs, just not on an engineers cert.

I have MANY mods, but knowing the adr means i can make most of them comply.

:D

Mine went over dickson yesterday, got done for height dispite the car passing for the same height in NSW and I've been over the pits before at that height and it was never an issue

How many "nice white R33's" though? hahaha

Dickson is kind of like a "falvour of the month" thing - they hit hard on people with height and then next time it'll be book manuels then glass.

Booked in for Thursday for a "Full Inspection". I skipped the re-assesment in hope when they see my child restraints they will just tick the box instead of telling me to install and supply engineer cert.

Everything on Rosie is stock bar the Intercooler which I am told is complied (No adjustment / cutting was requried). Fingers crossed.

I'd have thought that if they didn't advise you of the certificate when they pointed out the lack of restraints, they wouldn't then tell you to have it engineered when you returned with restraints fitted :P

Though now you're running the risk that burnt me - when you take it back this time, they can (and probably will, coz they're f**kheads) pick up on things they didn't pick up on last time. Like window tint and child restraints in my example.

Either way, good luck brooooo :)

Haha thanks Princess - I was told to get an Engineers Cert for the child restraints. Window tint is legal and that's something I'd argue (since I know the law around that one). There are a few things I am certain of. I'm thinking about taking a brake light out and putting it back in so they have something to ping me on LOL

Struth!! reverse psychology at it's best ..

Good luck mate.

And now I strongly recommend spending all your time looking for someone who does dodgy roadworthy certificates to save spending a f**kload on an engineer's certificate when you've got nothing modified to even justify it.

Well, I need to go through Dickson who supply the RWC right? Given Interstate etc.

You're supposed to take it through Dickson because it's an import - interstate has nothing to do with it (at least not recently).

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
