My seats are ADR approved and allowed to be installed in the car. All the engine modifications meet ADR standards.

Try telling that to the plod. Anything shiny or different and the only course of action for a police officer is to defect.

An engineers report will hopefully be enough to stop them from issueing an unecessary defect.

But if you have illegal things on your car, then there's nothing that can help you...

My2c

had a gtt with fmic piping that I sprayed black & pod filter + ssqv bov that came with the car, (I heat shielded the pod) , hks hi power silent exhaust etc etc

never got around to getting engineers cert. for my mods...

pulled over twice in the 2 years I had it, once at an RBT & once by the operation taipan car when I was driving along the great western

both times asked to pop the bonnet, both times asked if I had an engineers certificate for my mods which the answer was obviously no, both times let off on a warning

case in point someone at work at the time had a gtst with comparable mods & an engineers cert. still Got canaried

I didn't know how extensive his mods were or who did his engineers cert.

But I'd say it more comes down to the attitude of the officer & your own attitude as well

as others have said engineers certificate can help but not a guarantee

    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

    • lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit. 
    • That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?
    • Oh yeah gets really bad down here. I’ll have to upgrade the heater and wind screen wipers as well for optimal performance.
