Hi all, my R32 arrived at my door yesterday, and I'm struggling to find an engineer to comply my car. I've found one, but would really rather someone refer me to one that I know does a good job. The only one I've found so far is a guy called Steve in Knox.

Over the phone he quoted me:

$1100

- Drivers mirror

- Fuel filler restrictor

- dash light dimmer

- side intrusion bars (coupe)

- Rear high level brake light

- new CAT

- and of course certificate

- all done in 5 working days

*First of all is this reasonable pricing?

*Secondly is there any other engineers you guys can recommend (preferably East of Melbourne), and what on average are their prices?

This info would be really helpful for alot of people in Vic who'll be getting their 15 year old cars shortly...

Ok, i can't help you with the compliance thing.....

BUT we do need some pics of your new ride!!! :)

Hey yeah good idea - here's a couple of pics. Looks great in pictures but I think i'm gonna have to give it a respray. I was told it was in excellent condition but it seems to be far from it. That's the risk hey...

that sounds about rightr... usually comppliancers these days are bogged down, so 5 working days is an awesome deal for $1100. My ceffy cost $1100 but it had to have 2 extra side intrusion bars fitted. For a 2 door I was quoted $1000, but it took about 3 weeks for mine to be done, and I'd have paid the extra $100 to have it done in 5 days.

I paid $750 for mine because it was two door and two seater :)

also a 4door would cost more offcourse as its 4doors and 5seats ?

Cheers

seats don't mean shit in VIC, as you don't have to worry about seatbelts here.

ceffies n skylines are a little bit more difficult to compliance than FC's

my new baby is currently at place in Knoxfield. quoted $1050. Could be the same place.. I can't remember the guys name off the top of my head.. wait it's Gary!

got my place done at the same place as this guy. Lena Engineering the name of the place.

still got his card in my wallet 0412716671 name is Gary. did a good job and replaced my pipe that had the blow off valve with a new pipe free of charge (let me keep old pipe).

edit: only took 4 days too

yeah he's a top bloke, most of the guys that go thru j-spec with 15 yr old cars we try and get Gary to compliance... good rates, top quality work, and a nice guy overall.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
