Hi

I'm thinking of buying this 1987 Rover Mini but its here in Brissy but not complied.

Its got the import papers, was imported from Japan

Is it hard and expensive to comply these things? as it will need to match ADR's emission for that year and carby engines are hard to pass and quite expensive for each emission test? door intrusion bars, unleaded fuel tank restrictors, tyres and probably more right?

Anyone here have complied a similar vehicle?

Do I just ring up engineers that are qld transport certified? like for mod plates?

Thanks in advance

you won't need to do any emissions testing etc. being a pre-88 vehicle they don't have to be complied as such. just a few small mods to meet basic roadworthy/state rego requirements. they differ slightly from state to state. anyone with experience registering pre 88 imports in your state should be able to help and it should be fairly cheap compared to SEVS compliance.

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
