ENGINEER REPORT MELBOURNE Tue, 30 July 2002 07:05 Go to next message
Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get an engineers report in Melbourne. I've just finished my car and I need to get it registered. Rang up IDB in Richmond and he needs the car for 24 hrs and although I think the world of Ian's workmanship I'm not leaving my car anywhere after spending so much money. Any suggestions would be great.

I've rang a few engineers and they tell me I need to prove the emissions of that engine dont exceed those of the original engine. Has anyone got proof of a 4a-gze running with the original computer passing emissions, otherwise I need to get an EPA test which is apparently $3000, ouch!

i think youve got some wrong info there, my emissions test was done free by the RTA, as well as everyone elses test, call vicroads again they can organise an emissions test no charge.

$3k for an EPA test damo - cheap!
i got quoted more than that and the only testing station is in PERTH or somewhere...

anyways what year is your car?
last engineer i spoke to if the car was pre jul76 it didn't have to meet much in the way of emissions, only a certain level of co2 at idle / however ppm at idle also (easily tested by most workshops)

i can find out the details of the guy and put you in touch, let me know.

Grega, it's a 85 Sprinter with a fair few mods. I haven't got any mail. I need to speak to an engineer that at least knows that engine.
