not sure if im wrong but the intercooler isnt excatly something you'd need to get engineered unless if its one of those V mounts or the top mount intercoolers like those on WRXs

Or if they had to cut anything to fit it.

FMIC is legal on any car that came with an intercooler somewhere on the front from factory (side-mount on Skyrines count as "front") providing neither the reo bar nor any part of the chassis have been modified to fit it. This includes cutting a hole below your wiper-washer/radiator overflow reservoirs for the return pipe.

RTA will still defect you for a front mount even if it's legally fitted as per the above^^ They're useless cunts who don't even know the rules and regulations they're supposed to be working with as per the ADR...not until you go in there and draw on their ADR spec book showing them they're wrong.

Its a long read but.......

See my reo plates fo the pipes?

Up to regulation specs, just not on an engineers cert.

I have MANY mods, but knowing the adr means i can make most of them comply.

:D

Mine went over dickson yesterday, got done for height dispite the car passing for the same height in NSW and I've been over the pits before at that height and it was never an issue

How many "nice white R33's" though? hahaha

Dickson is kind of like a "falvour of the month" thing - they hit hard on people with height and then next time it'll be book manuels then glass.

Booked in for Thursday for a "Full Inspection". I skipped the re-assesment in hope when they see my child restraints they will just tick the box instead of telling me to install and supply engineer cert.

Everything on Rosie is stock bar the Intercooler which I am told is complied (No adjustment / cutting was requried). Fingers crossed.

I'd have thought that if they didn't advise you of the certificate when they pointed out the lack of restraints, they wouldn't then tell you to have it engineered when you returned with restraints fitted :P

Though now you're running the risk that burnt me - when you take it back this time, they can (and probably will, coz they're f**kheads) pick up on things they didn't pick up on last time. Like window tint and child restraints in my example.

Either way, good luck brooooo :)

Haha thanks Princess - I was told to get an Engineers Cert for the child restraints. Window tint is legal and that's something I'd argue (since I know the law around that one). There are a few things I am certain of. I'm thinking about taking a brake light out and putting it back in so they have something to ping me on LOL

Struth!! reverse psychology at it's best ..

Good luck mate.

And now I strongly recommend spending all your time looking for someone who does dodgy roadworthy certificates to save spending a f**kload on an engineer's certificate when you've got nothing modified to even justify it.

Well, I need to go through Dickson who supply the RWC right? Given Interstate etc.

You're supposed to take it through Dickson because it's an import - interstate has nothing to do with it (at least not recently).
