The guy doing my compliance is having trouble finding an engineer to pass my Cefiro. We had one engineer ready to go but he pulled out cause he was moving interstate.

The only things i need to worry about is front mount, steering wheel, bucket seat and a couple of others. Does anyone know of any engineers willing to sign off on those sort of mods?

I spoke to a few engineers when just changing my rego to nsw rego, the only one willing to even take a look at my car was TIC(transport industry consultants) at kirrawee, they were more expensive then the others as they charge per modification they check. But it was done 2 days after i first spoke to them and i had the paper work 2 working days later.. which was worth the extra money in my opinion.

there phone number is 02 95450823

lol, well if you have a lot of mods i wouldnt recommend TIC, i think i paid about 280 to have mine engineered as a standard car(for change of rego), so my certificate doesnt include my mods which were fitted to the car when it was engineered and regoed.

i think cc's engineer sounds far more cost effective if you have mods though,

(when im not at work i can post up a list of $$ per mod to have engineered through TIC which they gave me incase i want to have it done in the future, but it was at a very high cost from memory)

at the time other engineers wouldnt look at my car and i couldnt register on SAU to get some advice so i paid the extra for the convenience...

    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
    • Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.
    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
