    There's a dude over on Toymods (dunno if he's on here "fixeruperer") he's got his 4AGTE engineered and all legal for the streets of Perth.

    From memory he's running over 300hps on a W58, and I think either an F series, R31 or modified T series with twin rear caliper setup.

    Here's a link to his thread.

    I think most peoples have just done their conversions and drive around till they get caught....but don't take that as a fact, as I don't know everyone's situations these days.

    Also try giving Darren a PM, he's got one of these turbo engines you speak of...but I believe he's on holiday atm.

    yeah i actually had a yellow with my configuration before. popped the bonnet at the myaree pits and they were like oh shit... but the old guy looked over just had to fix reverse lights not working the wire had come off the reverse switch, ripped the sticker off and said be good.

    i was going to get it engineered but as yet havent been bothered. only thing that wont meet standards on mine is the wolf 3d computer which cant meet emissions as it fires 2 injectors at once. all the rest should be fine, bigger box diff and brakes all round.

    yeah fixeruppers car is pretty wild, 340hp atw running a dirty big t4 no crazy body kit pretty inconspicous looking too.

    todd no's of a bloke that does engineering in willeton that is pretty reasonable

    hey,
    yeh all my shit is engineered, was pretty stoked when it was all legit. Southam engineering in willeton did the paper work ($1000).
    engineered for
    turbo
    haltech
    FR coilovers
    w58
    g series
    omp seats
    rear battery and surge tank
    z32 front brakes and r32 master
    jza70 rear brakes/ hand brake
    wheels
    and probably other stuff but either way, it was all passed. my permits and engineering forms are a book haha.

    i had to weigh the car, dyno it (old 200hp dyno, was the lowest one i could find haha), exhaust sniffer test, sound test, brake test and your normal pit inspection.
