hi,

I need some assistance with regard to getting an engineerng cert for my skyline modofications. i called up an engineering company and he told me i hv to get an initial inspection and report which costs me $375. from that initial report he will be able to quote another price to carry out the certification process and let me know what needs to be certified. I just feel that i m being overly charged here. Since i m new here in sydney, i wonder if anyone knows how to go about this and getting the best quote from an engineering company.

Thnaks heaps

Nizam

put the standard airbox back in, no gain to be had by a pod filter, exhaust...well so long as it is legal noise wise there is no issue.

Height Adjustable suspension will never technically be legal so I'm not sure an Engineer will be able to help...however I may be wrong (nb car with adjustable suspension from factory is a totally different ball game to aftermarket stuff)

Aftermarket wheel...is it ADR approved? If not then I'm not sure the engineer will be able to help with that either.

Only thing is the front mount, should be able to engineer that, providing the engineer deems it safe (i.e you haven't hacked the reo to pieces)

Ring Autosport Engineering, ask for Greg 95211388, tell him the SAUNSW guys referred you to him. You'd get a discount if you were a club member, but I see that you're not a current member.

A number of club members have had their cars engineered through him including myself and it's a painless process using Greg unless you've got some V8 twin turbo sort of conversion going on, but in saying that, as long as it passes emissions and the power to weight ratio and engine size ratio it should pass.

For any specific questions best to ask the person who knows instead of people on here as you'll get a lot of incorrect information who are guessing or havnt been through the process themselves.

Expect to spend somewhere around the $1000 mark give or take a couple of hundred depending on mods to the car. An inspection should be free to tell you whats passable and what is not, so whoever it trying for $375 seems a bit rich to me.

I payed $980 for a car with about 15 mods on engine, suspension, brakes, seats, roll cage, diff mod, wheels, money well spent.

Be aware that it still has to be legal, i.e no Atmo BOV, no turbo timer, needs a air box.

haha nice, I will get my car done here in Canberra when its finished I think....not that there is much point..just renew rego every year..no inspections even if it sits unregistered for 12 months or more.

I <3 ACT rego...better than QLD

Good read if you have a few hours handy

Lol just reading the engine part again now

All vehicles originally weighing

more than 1100 kg.

NA Engines

Original mass (kg) x 5.0

= max. capacity in cc’s

Turbo

Original mass (kg) x 3.0

= max. capacity in cc’s

I can run a 4.8L Turbo engine in the Soarer legally :D

No mate, a guy that UNIGROUP knew.

LOL, he had a Tarago 4WD with 600,000k on it.

That'd be John Wilson, akz vehicle engineering, his crazy traveling Around everyday from quenbean.

Same guy 90% of the east coast workshops use including Autosport.

According to this I have a green VW convertible, and I dont need padding on the half cage, I will leave the padding on there because I always bash my head on it when Im trying to drag stuff (fishing gear/tyres) out of there.

LOL Thats who I was planning on getting mine through.

Well good to know he is recommended...and only 15 mins from my house :nyaanyaa:

John can be a little strange to deal with at times but always comes through and covers everything.

He did my GTR 32 and R34 the other week.

He owns almost every "engineering" domain thing on the internet so regardless of what you google search he comes

Up!

I found him extremely helpfull, he inspected it, told me what was needed to be changed, remove T timer, plumb in BOV, remove rear seats and belts and such, and when I got it complient he signed it off.

He even said that if I do any other mods he will inspect and approve if its all compient and It would only be cost plus a small fee, win.

      S15 Spec R

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
