M M Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Why not find a radiator that fits? That's exactly what I plan to do now. I was just curious as to the rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Not really a question, just happy we put a EP91 starlet through for a cert the other day, 5afe turbo beast, makes around 300 horse. Failed on CV boot, horn, front tyres, brake locking up and needing a sticker to say ABS is removed. Holy crap easiest cert I have ever seen. CV boot easy. Horn needed the relay putting back in. Front tyres are well, just front tyres, Sticker is a sticker and brake issues was a seized hand brake cable that took less than an hour to fix Pretty happy us and pretty happy customer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I think a lot of people are scared of the cert process as pretty much the only stories you hear are when muppets try to get their sacks of shit legal and then are all "fuck the system" when they get asked to remedy their cluster fuck. So its nice to hear a positive one for a change. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 This was through Cheers Automotive too by the way for people playing at home, But yeah, FWD certainly seem easier also, no need for drive shaft loops etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoom Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 This was through Cheers Automotive too by the way for people playing at home, But yeah, FWD certainly seem easier also, no need for drive shaft loops etc. I got mine done there. It was a breeze. Nothing to remedy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRWEST Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yeah took the Impala for a check last week for a cert, Had a small list but the majority was stuff i knew about but had run out of time to do and didnt want to miss the date. All in all pretty straight forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Not really a question, just happy we put a EP91 starlet through for a cert the other day, 5afe turbo beast, makes around 300 horse. Seems like a list of maintenance issues rather than things related to the modifications? Any comments in regards to the mods or did that all go through no probs? 300 horse seems damn good for that motor!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Whats the go with changing fuel type? e.g. going from diesel to petrol. Assuming engine size/power/etc is similar, is it much of a muchness and treated like a normal engine/drivetrain swap? Or are there some specifics due to fuel swappage? Then I assume there are some rego related changes as well? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfashark Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Cert and a change in rego, then you'll be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowzer Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 If you're running the factory EMS you'll need all the factory emmisions crap that engine originally had, plus a working engine check light. If after market EMS, then ya can ditch all that crap and the car just needs to pass a basic as shit emmisions test which consists of nothing more than making sure the AFRs are within some rather massive limits at specific RPMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 The LVVTA Tyre size chart really makes no sense I was pulling a rear wheel of my Crown sedan today and realised that my 215 40 r17 probably wont be good for a 9 inch rim. Turns out I was right Yet it is for an 8, which is yay for the front. but seems I need to buy some 235/40's for the back ball face. hope the still fit in the guards, actually more worried about internal offset.... Actually feel maybe I should put 20mm spacers on the back instead of 15mm....... probably do some sort of adjustable pan hard rod mod also I guess.

Beaver Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Remember you can use tyre manufacturer specs as well.....often more options than the lvvta chart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 hey clint do i need a cert if i weld a plate between the front chassis rails on my landrover to accept a winch? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 If welded on it will need a cert. If bolted on no cert required.
