Hey, looking at buying a car that has an ​engineers certificate, but it has the other guys name on it so my question is will i have any problems when going to vicroads to tranfer the car into my name? would they issue me a new one or is that one okay to have?

thanks!

I believe that VASS engineers certificates only last for 30 days, and are used for when registering a new vehicle/re-registering or removing a defect notice.

I could be completely wrong tho.

I'm not clued in with the fine details, but my car has an engineers cert for an engine conversion. the cert just has written confirmation of the changed engine number and some mods (since the engine number is different from the nameplate on the car). it isn't addressed to the owner, it's just a cert with the engine details and I carry it in the glovebox

Yeah that's what I thought, Iv seen a few with no names on it and laminated and just left in the car but this one is on a piece of paper with the current owners name he said it should be fine tho when tranferring

False,

Once you receive certificate you have 30 days to present it to vicroads in which they make changes on their system to indicate that car has been engineered and is legal.

Ahhh ok, that makes a whole lot more sense. I've only ever had to get one for a minor thing and the information on the Vicroads site is so damn confusing at the best of times.

Cheers!

    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
