NSW. I engineered my GU late last year for 3" exhaust,4" lift & 35's cost me $1200 & that was with the swerve test & brake test. Passed with flying colours. Your whole vehicle has to comply regardless if your only getting one thing engineered.

What do you mean by your whole vehicle has to comply???
Isn't that the point of the engineering? To get compliance?

How does that work with a ford maverick as I didn't think they came out with a turbo?

I believe what he is saying is if for example you done a 4inch lift and are going in to get that certified, and you have put 35's on and haven't listed that as part of your certification then you will get knocked back on the 35's.

Also at a guess the more you get certified the more it will cost.

I'm guessing it needs 2 be certified then before its classified as legal

Surly you understand? Anyhow, if you go to an engineer & want to engineer your 4" lift only & nothing else he wont pass it if you have 35's on it or a bigger exhaust etc etc understand? if you add say the extra seats to a DX he wont pass it got it? Unless you pay to get him to engineer the other mods.

yep, it has to be engineered.

I booked in for the lift & tyres. Got quoted $1200. Turned up & he asked if the engine had been touched, bigger turbo etc (no) just the 3" Exhaust. he done a decibel reading & it was to high. So I had to fit a muffler to quieten it down before he passed it. Engineered the bullbar,snorkel the lot. Oh & because of the heavy suspension components, I had to lower the seating capacity from 7 to 5 because of the new tare weight. He didn't charge me any more than what he quoted but I know a lot of engineers do.
