Cefiro Sr20 Engineering?

[bryanfc]

Hey i've got a cefiro coming over from japan soon, problem is, it has been converted to an sr20det.

Can anybody suggest anywhere i can get it engineered in melbourne? Or if I can just get it registered without having to engineer the conversion? since Cefiro's were never made here anyway..

Thanks alot, Bryan

ive got an sr ceffy too- no problem with having a SMALLER engine- only issue is when the engine has been swapped to a bigger engine than factory specifications- ie Rb26dett

you shouldnt have an issue at all- my engineer didnt

cheers

thanks alot for that dori180. can i ask how much the engineer's cert cost you? and if it was in melb where you got it done?

thanks alot, bryan

If it's been done in Japan you won't have a problem registering it as it gets a form of engineering when it's complianced (hence the engine number and suc h will be the one it gets complianced and RWC'ed with).

You MAY have a problem on the road however without getting it "engineered" (i.e. as part of your rego conditions) for defects. But I wouldn't really worry about this too much as cops won't know what a cefiro did and didn't have.

This is what we originally thought. But the compliance workshop J-Spec referred us to (Duc Do in melb i think it was?) said their engineer won't do it? So it should just go through the normal compliance process, with the engine number on the SR instead of the RB going on the compliance cert?

Well if they won't do it then they won't do it.

I suppose it's up to you if you want to find another compliance workshop or not.

My question is this - if they won't do it, how do they propose to get it complianced without an engine? I don't understand.

There are a few people who have had sr20 converted cefiros from JP perhaps one of them is in Vic and can tell you where they did it.

Good luck.

mine's got an rb26 in it, and it was all covered as a part of compliance, the engineer signed for the engine and what ever other mods i have on the car.

if your guy wont do it, then just shop around. someone will do it.
