it was mentioned here before but I'm unable to find it searching.

they were near frankston and really cheap to use.

not those decv or whatever they call themselves useless guys.

doesn't have to be this particular one any other suggestions for engineering work?

that aren't excessively strict.

It can be quite hard to find a decent Engineer that wouldn't necessarily be over picky. Have you contacted a few from the Vicroads Web Site on the phone?

They can usually give you a pretty thorough run through on what will be needed on the car for them to certify it.

What sort of modifications are you needing an engineer certificate for? if it is an engine swap that was available in that car from factory they will usually just ask that the same safety components are included which will be pretty much common amongst all engineering places.

Every VASS signatory is strict mate - it's their job to be, and it hinges upon their license.

I've found no VASS engineer any more lenient than another, just the prices are difference.

There is a VASS in Braeside that i used, and a couple of friends have. They are one of the more reasonably priced @ around $600 incl brake test.

Their details can be found on the VicRoads website.

it's just for a carbon hood. yeah i think it was in braeside what's their name?

in the future it will be custom headlights tail lights then power mods.

I'll know their website when i see it I had called them before.

the guys were reasonable over the phone.

I had previously called many vass engineers and all of them wouldn't even contemplate the idea.

these guys were willing if i meet their requirements.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
