RWC for gsr with vr4 conversion? VIC

[THE411]

I can't see why you are all having trouble with Vicroads! In thier manuals it states that if you changing an engine to an engine that WAS AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA in that vehicle then there is no problems. And the E3 was available in australia, so i cant see the problem. Its no different to replacing a VS v6e ecotec with a 5L as they were available in other models.

Vicroads in Burwood SUCK ARSE! :twisted:

 

[gsrevo3]

tell that to vic roads ispoke to the engineer of vic roads and he was the biggest w..ker! he said he would not register my car without an engineers certificate. and also said to me that a 4g93 is a 1.5litre and my car apparently came out with that motor in it. so anyway he was the one that has the final say. even darren telling him that the car has just been fitted with an optional motor he still thought he knew better than me and darren. If only i knew where he lived. hehe

Ah - The E3 was not available for public sale in Australia, only as a private import with compliance. The VicRoads engineer had a point in that in Australia, no Lancer (coupe or sedan) came with the 4G63 motor. That's why you need to get it engineered. Yes - the body shell was designed to take that motor, but the emissions of that engine were never tested to Australian standards. Which is why if you have a VR4 4G63 motor, you will have an easier job getting a vehicle modified with it complianced, as Australia got the VR4 for public sale.

When I got my 4G63'd coupe re-registered with the new engine number, VicRoads looked at the Engineer's certificate, checked the engine number against that on the certificate and passed it no worries.

thats exactly what the engineer said all about emisions oh well i got around it by just regestering it as gsr again so didnt even have to take me car there. But vicroads are still a..holes in burwood and i will NEVER go there again ever....

Phil has all the emissions papers for 7 bolt 4g63's (e1-3). You could probably get a copy if you asked nicely. He paid like 5k to get them all done and they are still valid.
