New Engineering Certificate Arrangements In 2011

[spranga]

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

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.

Just spoke to a couple of engineers and they said that January is the last month with the old system. One of them was unwilling to do a report anyway due to the uncertainty...

we are still doing reports and will continue to till the rta change the rules.

yes they will be harder than now so dont leave it too long.

Report inspections will be more strict including emission tests and photos 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.

Hmm interesting, who is good for engineering certificates then? Should just get my basic crap done to start with

[Longz]

Is it too late to get a car engineered ? any recomendations on who i can still get it thru ?

[fatz]

this thread comes up once a year
