Does anyone know anything more?

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/authorisedinspectors/vsccs/index.html

I assume current certificates will still be valid? Might be worth getting one done before they change everything. Knowin the RTA I am sure they will make things more difficult!

"No change for vehicle owners yet

Until the VSCCS commences, there will be no changes that affect vehicle owners or vehicle modifiers. Current ECS signatories will continue to issue certificates as they do now. Any vehicle that currently requires an engineering certificate will continue to do so. The processes for registering vehicles requiring an engineering certificate remain the same.

Look at this page again in 2011 for more information on how the new scheme will affect engineering certificates."

judging by this it doesnt sound like people that currently have an engineers cert are just going to be left alone. from what ive heard they will make it more difficult coz apparently they r going to be alot more strict on the guys doing the inspections.bet it gets alot more expensive too :down:

The new scheme is similar to the old only that the rat will now charge the engineering signatory a fee for every report they right.

They could see all the engineers were making lots of money and they wanted a slice of the action.

Report inspections will be more stricter including emission tests and photo on reports to show mods.

my report had all of this and was done last year, it sounds like they are just trying to reduce dodgey engineering reports where they havent done everything that should have been done from the start.

      Yes, well, mine were 31 years old last year when they finally got done. Started to leak a bit.

      I've ordered a new fuel pump and plan to do all the fuel tank hoses at the same time. Those are the hoses I would rather not go on the road.

      As a general rule removing rubber fuel hose is so difficult I would replace it if it hasn't been done in the last 5 years. The risk you damage the liner or one of the inner layers is pretty high if it's not almost brand new. BMW's recommendations around coolant hoses is similar. My R33's fuel hoses at the fuel tank were so perished that they were ready to burst FYI.

      Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
