compliance etc on highly modified r32

[heiress]

The biggest issue i've been told that i will have with licencing this R32 is having an engine swap and v-mount cooler.

Anyone been through something similar? Offer me any info?

**Edit - Compliance and Engineers signoff done!!! This should mean no dramas about the 2 issues mentioned above from the pits.

You may have probs with the engine being nonstandard, but isnt it OK if the displacement is not more than 25% over original or something?

never had the experience myself but i'd say you *may*have a few probs. Best of luck tho!

I am unsure of the laws in your state but i have not had any problems with SR20 powered cefiro in Qld.......due the the capacity being the same and the number of cyls being reduced they tend to see it as a downgrade.

emissions would also be improved.. in their eyes an upgrade

Thanks guys

Guess I can suggest those good points to the engineer if he's being stubborn.

[Mase]

yeah you should just need an engineers certificate and then your all sweet.

[SR32]

Just a little update...if anyone cares.

Engineers certificate a.o.k!

Went to the pits last monday and i think i got off quite lightly!

The bonnet is raised slightly, needs to be level with side pans, vents/pin holes need to be covered up.

I have to take the mech diff out...i thought i might be lucky and it wouldnt clunk when he test drove it, i was wrong

And I have to remove the hicas lock bar.

Almost licenced this baby! yay!

[druzilla32]

hmm.. i have a hicas lock bar and a raised bonnet too... i also have bonnet pins..

you had to change all that just for complience on an 89 model car?????

my car is currently being complied... like always i expoect the invoice to be much more then the quote i was givin

[SR32]

Its not so much for compliance, but for licencing (passing pit inspection).

Dru, i have a dry CF bonnet with vents and bonnet pins, and didn't have any compliance problems.

they are lot stricter over there, it has to go through a full inspection at the transport place before it can hit the road..

here they barely even look under the bonnet.

I just took re2's car across the pits with him and they hardly blinked, who is complying the car.

[SR32]

Compliance is all done. it wasnt done by a workshop, rather a highly recommended gent. I paid for the major stuff that i couldnt do (side intrusion bars, fuel neck restrictor, engineers signoff, child restraints etc) and chose to do the rest of the work myself.
