hey guys
im the new owner of the fto...
although you guys dont know, its been quite hektic getting this on rd.
From all the EPA regulations, RTO, Vicroads etc.
Whats been done after purchasing the vehicle from Carizma...
Was this:
Before the inspection to Vicroads, as the vehicle was unregistered and has been for a quite a while supposely.
What needed to be done was getting a RWC and pass an inspcection by VicRoads.
Nismo Performance Centre in Sunshine West of Melbourne, did all the work getting it back to stock, before the inspection. As i would of been hit hard with all the modifications to it. Emissions test, turbocharged vehicle, epa etc.
Once that was all done, inspection @ vicroads was in process and 2 problems arised.
1. Vin number needed to be printed on Chasis & Body 2. Take off CF Canards were dangerous.
I had to bring it back 3 days later with those 2 problems done.
Vehicle got registered, back to nismo for the weekend getting it back to how it was previously. Now its going for a tune this week @ NT Performance this Saturday.
In regards, to engineering certificate I was told by Nismo that they dont issue it anymore. If it was only done by the previous owner it would of been all fine.
At the moment, the risk of getting caught by cops is the risk im taking. But, i highly doubt that will happen. Worst case scenario is getting pulled over and the police doing a full check on engine bay.
Although you think i got this for 12gran on ebay, it was negotiated down from there price of $18,490, i didnt win that auction. I personally called him and negotiated with him.
For the record i wanted to buy it with RWC onroad etc.
Quoted by the guy @ Carizma "Sorry, we cant do that, we wanna sell this quick"
Now its onroad and up forsale.
I'm selling for $19,000 w/ RWC & 12Months REG.
I wish i could get a engineering cert. if anyone can help let me know.

Mate a bit too late for the bullshit, you told a lots of members here that Vic don't need Engineering Cert. 
I knew the first original owner since day one, i watch him from imported the car from Japan which was stock to the turbo stage when he sold it.
I went on to heaps of cruise with him as we both belong to an invite only club, I even supplied some of the parts. So to read the bullshit you posted on ebay (apart from the cut and paste spec which you got from this forum) and some of your reply to others just makes me

I'm sure your original tention was to make a quick bucks, but didn't realise how much work it need to be done and when you found out, you just made up some bogus claim to sell it off to another sucker on ebay.itistime wrote:From my previous turbo stock cars, im new to this fto custom turbo as its not factory turbo.FTO338 wrote:Mate a bit too late for the bullshit, you told a lots of members here that Vic don't need Engineering Cert.
