Engineers Certificate and modds

[carrera944]

is there any mod that can't be engineered?
like spacer, lighted big brake, etc.

cheers

[luke 3mps]

yes there are somethings that are not get engineered

then where can i find the list for the mods that defiantly illegal and cant get engineered?
and any differ from state to state? im in SA.,

cheers

RTA have some things listed. anything the engineer sees as unsafe wont pass, it pays to ring the engineer and ask some questions. tell him what u will be doing to the car, what has been done. engineers see some of the rta guidelines diff to another.. best to ask first before going

Yeah it does differ from state to state, be very careful. For example pod filters in NSW need to be enclosed, in Vic that isnt a requirement they just can't be oiled. Your road authority should have a document about legally modifying a car, what is and isnt allowed. Id recommend looking at that if you can find it.

I have been told if u want to remove the factory cats u can go to a Euro 5 cat, which has the same emissions as the 2 factory cats!! BUT with better flow flow will be to a point of a 'so called' High flow cat....

after i done my Exhaust i thought of this.... Garrett or corksport dump pipe, have the euro 5/6 fitted where the 2 cat goes. than put a 3' cat back and should make emissions.. FLOW will be great

Car will be engineered while its at MPSG next 10 or so days.

Have you considered running E85 to pass emissions? Kudos for getting everything legal, I know the feeling you've been experiencing when driving past cops. I had the same with the magna and it became too difficult to engineer, hence why I'm in an MPS now

Have you tried Athol Mullan at Cardiff? He engineers cars and is probably the most fairest I've heard about.

Theoretically, anything that isn't stock needs to be engineered. A mate was a smartarse to a cop one night when he was getting canaried and said does that include air freshners? lol Needless to say, the cars a track car now.

Good luck with it all man, keen to find out how you go!
