Hi all,

Am new to the Australian modified car scene. I've tried searching but cant seem to find a clear direct answer and some are in bits all over the internet. So here goes...(with regards to a BNR34)

Which of the modifications below needs an engineering cert? and if so, can we like do all together and then get an engineer to inspect and save $$?

- 19" rims with 255/35 tires

- ganador side mirrors

- carbon trunk

- carbon gt wing 1710mm

- aftermarket tie rods, lower arms, traction and camber rods etc

- strut bars

- sway bar and end links

- gauges mounted on the A pillar

- body kit

- front wide fender (nismo Z tune)

- turbo

- turbo outlet

- front pipe

- high flow cat

- cat back exhaust with jasma cert

- radiator

- intercooler

- coilpack

cheerio guys! :cheers:

Turbo for sure.. what no boost controller, injectors, ECU or Air Flow Meter? These all affect pollution control (EPA laws).

Depending on what state you're in cops will try to defect A pillar gauges "because they are in a crash zone". Yeah not likely if you have a front air bag! and how about taxi's and cop cars (and who's on the road more?). Anyway have the line added to the cert.

Not sure on side mirrors and aftermarket tie rods, lower arms, traction and camber rods etc

rest should be ok.

suspension stuff engineer can sign off on it and over ride the rules but the exhust not under hes power that you have to deal with epa.

thats a relief.... sort of.

are there legal aftermarket exhausts for the BNR34?

Theres nothing that comes with a ADR approved sticker on it if thats what you mean its bascially just up to you to make sure its 90db if you want it to be legal and pass, but doesnt really matter if it is or not because cops will report you on suspicion for exhuast sound as some people have been done on standard exhuast so theres not really a way to be 100 percent bullet proof on epa issues.

Also take into account the stock exhuast is basically the loudest you could have and be legal since it is around the 89db mark.

whats the approximate cost of an Engineering Certificate? If you became a member of a car club would that help alot in getting things approved , i mean if you say the car is used for limited use on road and the mods are for the track etc etc..

I think i read somewhere that we can go get it tested after installing the exhaust where they test for emission and sound rite? if that one pass...surely the cops wouldnt be THAT anal to book u if u have something to show that it was already tested?

also... are they crazy? stock exhaust and still book u?!?!? but i take it that u can contest it right?

  • 2 weeks later...

yeah so according to the ADR..even if they wanna fine u for something ....there has to be proof rite? so if EPA tests prove that its below 90db..then u're ok...rite?

the cops arent judge and executioner wat!

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
