hopefully the guy on the phone isnt the guy doing the roadworthy.
Its probably cheaper to go down there armed with paperwork and speak to the honcho than getting an engineers cert again.
Im not looking forward to going down there either when the time comes...
Let me know when you go Simon as i wouldnt mind seeing what goes on if i can.

Getting to the chief engineer is the way to go.
He is ok.
First off be pleasant & then ask for his help.
( he responds well to this approach)
dont rundown or criticise the inspector.
just say that he misunderstood the paper work about it being
a turbo.
dont mention the brakes.
Leave it for him to pick up.
just keep it cool & best of luck.

"R.I.P. Baz. 29 April 2022. Thank you for all your contributions to the Datsun community over the years. You will be missed." - OZDAT

Don't live in SA, thank christ, and thereofre do not have to worry about regency park which sounds like a fun place but I am sure what Baz says would be correct. I am sure he has more to do with engineers than the rest of us combined. Something I don't envy

I found being courteous and charming usually works, with anything.

Good luck

cheers

James

Looking good mate, good luck with finishing off the build!

If you still have hassles after Baz's suggestion, I suggest you contact the original engineer of your car and inform him that a transport department is doubting his work as an engineer.

I have read of this tactic leading to letters from an engineers lawyer being sent to a transport depo threatening to sue because of their disputing of the engineer being qualified to approve the work. Aparrently the problem was resolved quite quickly.

Here are some pics,

The road trip was the datsun cruise to tanunda in almost 40 degree heat, cars first time out in a long time, had some minor issues with the braided brake lines leaking at the front calipers but thats all sorted now

The cars now in many pieces again while i sort out better windscreen rubbers, new intercooler, repair damaged paint due to leaking brake fluid and im working on the interior considering its not going far ATM

Soon to come hopefully... Finishing mounting the swift GTi reclinable front buckets, R33 BB T3 with new 3" stainless Exhaust Technology system from dump back and FR17's gold centers with whitewalls Then off to ENGINEERS

Simon

looking good bro
