Engineers Certificates

[geno8r]

I’m looking into getting my car engineered & just wanted to get as much info as possible from people who already have their car engineered.

How expensive is it?

What do you get to prove it’s engineered? (A bit of paper & a sticker under the bonnet?)

Once engineered, do you notify the RTA to put it in their system so cops doing licence plate checks can see your legit before pulling you over? Or do you just show a cop who pulls you over the paper?

If anyone can post up a picture of an engineers certificate & or sticker (with the name, licence plate details etc. blurred out) would really appreciate it, maybe 'PM / email me it?'.

Thanks,

Hey

I have to get one for my Turbo Corolla.

After i filled out a modifications booklet, the transport department sent back a letter saying I needed engineering for a few things. Eg, different engine. It also needed a sound and brake test done.

So I rang around for engineers and found one that can do it.

Yes you just get a piece of paper.. cost me $800

Then when I went through the pits I got a modifications permit that had a reference number, that refers too the Certificate. Not to sure if it get into there system but.

First thing I would do is fill out the Modifications Booklet and send it in.. Takes about a month until they send back a letter saying if it needs a engineers certificate.

Depends wat state you are in.

Here in Victoria i had to do an engineers certificate which cost me $600. Rediculously the certificate only lasts for 30 days...

What pisses me off the certificate was mainly to show the the hole for my intercooler piping was safe. AFter the 30 days i could get booked for the same thing over again, because magincally the hole can get unsafe...

i got an enginners cert for my 510 long time ago here in VIC..all they supplied was two copies of the cert., i handed in one to VIC roads and kept the other...

this was though over 10 years ago so things may have changed..

i also remember shopping around for one with the list of engineers vic roads provided and cost was greatly varied from one to another...

Hi Guys

I need to get an engineers cert for my car. Krzysiu r u serious its only vaild for 30 days????? What are the engineers like, are they as picky as cops

[dnbutts]

not sure on entirely where to get one but theres no way in hell there as picky as cops, the whole reason your engineering your car is because cops can rape you for those particular things you need protection from. Maybe look into a place that does compliance?

[krzysiu]

It depends on where you go. A lot of these places follow the book but they are very helpful and aren't arseholes.

I got the ok for my A pillar gauges and make sure that your child restraint holes in your parcel shelf are reachable.

But yeah they are only valid for 30 days, which is kind of a bitch since paying another $600 if you get caught again 2 months later...
