took this pic today , dosnet look like ive done anything for months ,actualy i havnt in the engine bay anyway ,will this car ever go?who wants to engineer it for me?

 

Dude you should bring it up to QLD it would pass easy as, i mean i'm no engineer but judging from what you've done here it would pass in QLD IMO

You will need to keep it NSW rego, pretty easy to do if your in ACT

yeah i heard things up there are a little different to down here, if it was that easy id probably do it,

there are also alot of engineers around here but I'm pretty much stuck with the ones that are on the list wallbash.gif

 

 

Why are you stuck with the ones on the list?

 

What i was trying to say is that there are a heap of guys around that arent on that list that are legally able to approve the car.

 

On the QLD site they have the same list, but they are not the only ones that can do it, they are just the ones they 'prefer' that you use.

 

You may have already done so, but look around outside of that website, see if this is also the case in vic?

yeah I'm going to have to look into it abit more i think ,from what ive gathered tho ,down here at least vic roads have done away with taking just any engineers report,as they have had a lot of trouble with dodgey cars getting thru , which is understandable,i know several of the engineers on the old list have been removed and probably given large fines due to leting dodgey cars thru , so yeah as far as i know the only ones able to sign off something of this size is a guy from the vass list,aka the c**t list as I'm now calling it,but ill definately look into it some more this week, I'm hoping to have 2 inspections done from 2 seperate engineers by friday and see what they have to say about the hole thing,

if worst case senario comes around i could all ways keep going and take it to the guy in canberra whos now doing vic,but thats a fair mission and no garentees that i wont have to start all over ,which is what I'm trying my hardest to avoid,

 

maybe i should be come an engineer and pass my own car haha

yeah just confirmerd it, the old scheme they had you could take any engineers report didnt matter who or where,but now under the new scheme vass,you can only take it to aprroved engineer to obtain the cert,,::::::::

 

. Replacement engine is not of a type offered by the vehicle manufacturer as an option for that vehicle or where alterations, or changes to the vehicle's frame or structure are made, and/or specially fabricated supports or structures are used

You will need to attend a VicRoads Customer Service Centre for an inspection of the vehicle to confirm the new engine details. You will also need to complete a Change of Vehicle Description form and provide VicRoads with:

 

a VASS Approval Certificate from a VicRoads Vehicle Assessment Signatory

an original receipt for the purchase of the engine as proof of ownership of the engine

 

 

 

so pretty much screwed in the way of getting an outsider to sign me off,and pretty much screwed getting any one on the list either ,well not quite yet ,i still have a few more to see, but this is not an easy task when it costs you to tow truck it here and there and then 200 for an inspection every time , I'm pretty shattered about the hole thing at the moment ,every way i turn its just not looking any brighter

May i suggest investing in a car trailer for yourself bud, it would save on expensive tow truck fee's :)

yes you may haha but i don't have a car that would tow a trailer any way ,

 

well it seems that things have just gone from bad to worst,

just been speaking to a few engineers over the phone and apprently,

vic roads have just realised a whole new set of rules ,specificly aimed

at making engine conversions very hard, especialy big block type engine conversions,

which may not effect the smaller engine conversions but I'm sure the rules for them

will filter down to us car builders in some way

 

:) :D :blinks: :blinks: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:

 

maybe its time to get out of vic its just crazy here now ,building a nice car is near impossible and keeping

it on the road is even harder!!! wheres the best state for car building???

QLD is the bomb for building modified cars man we have some of the most leaniant laws concerning things like that :)

nice may have to look into that, they got many panel shops up there? whats rent like?

another thing thats out of control here is rent ,you could be paying 190-270 for a 2 bedroom box ,

any where up to 400 for a 3 bedroom with a one car garage,pretty exspensive stuff

Yes i dare say there would be quite afew panel beating shops up here bud, i'm undertaking a turbo ca conversion into my ke70 and spoke to a guy that blue plates mods up here and he asked me the list of stuff i'd done to get the motor into the car and i told him the list of mods, the only thing he said he'd turn a blind eye to was the coilovers and the fact it'll have no back seats :D , on the subject of rent i'm not sure i've only been out of the olds house for 12 months and lost my job so i had to move back into the olds, but i was paying 390 a week split between like 6 people, for a 2.2 acre block of land with house and 6 car garage :blinks: was awsome :)
