The guy here would NOT give it even a blue slip even with the plate as anything can be done to the car after it has been engineered - with out a blue slip NO rego in NSW

[Locks]

so no then? it might be the best way to get as much money for it as you can

[atari4x4]

yeah, I'd be that ashamed of selling it under my regular username that I would have started a new one just to sell it too.

[stephennn]

well is there anything (theoretically) stopping it passing a nsw blue slip? keeping in mind the engineers cert?
cheers

there's probably lots.

[stephennn]

so theres nothing definitive that wil stop it from passing? (such as engine conversion/ tyre size etc) ?

In NSW the engine without disk brakes for sure - I know you say it has cert and a plate but unless you can find a VERY shonky tester/engineer it will NOT PASS FOR REGO HERE

This man is loco.....

[atari4x4]

it got engineered back in a time when in NSW you could push ANYTHING through. hell Siggi got 44's approved on a 80 series landcruiser with very little in the way of brake upgrades from memory.

just goes to show how dodgy them NSW pricks are

On those wheels the inspector would not have been able to see high enough to inspect the rest of the car so just paced it so they could get it out of the place before it cracked the floor HeHe

From what actually happens on the roads with engineering certificates in NSW, you may as well save your money and write your own up on toilet paper, as the cops just wipe their arse with it and send you to the pits to bend you over and wipe your arse with the other side.

[Locks]

well on the plus side you will have a clean bum..

same as SA, hence why no one bothers with engineering... just get good at making it stock enough to clear inspection again.

[SierraDan]

Yeah that's it. People used to talk about getting this and that engineered, now they're talking about what tows the best and "any car trailers for sale?"

[stephennn]

wellll that settles that then i guess! ANYway any time ive been pulled over by the police they havnt had a problem cos of the blue plate. And previous owner never had a problem with his engineers cert.

[joshNZ]

This Sierra would be a Death trap on the road

[honks]

No way man this car would not be a death trap its fully engineered and got a blue plate for mods that aren't even legal in the state the blue plate was given.

i wish we had a like button on here..

[KEENSY85]

ouch guys

[KEENSY85]

give the guy a break go check it out if u doubt him laws are changing all the time also i saw a while back a legal spoa sierra in QLD in a 4x4 mag and the story was that it was done while spoa was legal, hence still legal as it was plated then. not saying his not bs or is bs but far out guys ease up a little no wander guys get there back up

The mod plates/engineers certificate aren't the issue here, neither are "laws are changing all the time ".... 3.8 litres in a SOA SWB with drum brakes on 33's is dangerous no matter what planet you come from....

Umm that would have been oozook off here.

[mudboy]

I have a v6 in mine but with gq diff and brakes, would haTe to drive with standard stuff, also my chassis has been fully laminated to take the extra weight

The laws are changing to make things tougher all round

[stephennn]

As i said before ANY car is dangerous in the wrong hands. Its all about knowing your vehicle and driving to that. Its 99% operator 1% vehicle.

[GRPABT1]

Not when you have a greatly reduced braking distance caused by extra inertia of a big lump of motor, all the other barwork and crap you've chucked on and the greater forces from the extra rolling diameter of 33's. It wouldn't pass any honest engineers report anywhere. When you have doubled the effective stopping distance from factory or worse even Safey McSafesafe would have a hard time driving without risk.
