Mike
Is this with Bernie at Enkelmans?
Let us know how you go and what details, if any, they drag you through the hoops over.
Cheers

Hi Mike what inlet setup are you going through the inspection with, the Victor J or the normal LS1 manifold.

Hi Slowy,
Yes it is Bernie at Enklemans. He was very helpful on the phone and gave me the impression it would be relatively straight forward process. I'm not going to waste any more of my time with Colin, If he can't be bothered to return any of my numerous phone calls what hope would I have of seeing him actually complete a report on the car. 
I've put the LS6 manifold back on just to keep things simple for the people at Vic Roads. I may be confidnent that it won't affect emmissions but I've got no way of proving it without spending extra on testing.
Phil N is going to try out my manifold on his motor and see if it makes any improvement over the LS2 manifold and 90mm T/B. I'm really keen to see the results.
Cheers

Mike
If your looking for place to have a cup coffee during your nervous wait, my factory is abut 2 streets away.
My car is at the factory and is going down to Bernies at the end of the month.
Bernie has been down and looked at the car a couple of weeks ago and was very laid back about it all.
He did suggest that the more information I could give him on where the parts came from, the easier it is for him.
He had a good look over the car and was happy with everything he saw.
So finger crossed.
He has been very helpful to deal with all the way through. I think he can't wait to look at something other than a bus or a truck.
Just give me a ring if you want to pop around.

Oi Mike, If PhilN finds the new manifold does make heaps more he might not give it back. 
Will be very interesting to find what improvement there is. It sure looks more cobra like with that manifold.

G'Day Mike the process isn't that bad and shouldn't take long, the more information you supply the engineer with the better it is, the engineer will give you a VASS, on it will be what the car is made up from and will include a VIN number which the engineer will stamp onto the chassis. miy engineer was pretty strick, measuring stroke, cam lift etc. I consulted with him much of the way, many things he wanted I didn't agree with but, went the way he wanted because I knew that it was all going to change afterward. Once you have your VIN and VASS book it in at VicRoads. I remember mine the only booking I could get was in hoppers crossing,40 minutes from where I lived early in the morning, I drove it there rain hail or shine and boy was it cold. The guy at vicroads had no idea. There is no roadworthy required as it is a new car and the VASS covers all these things, the stamp duty is also cheaper. They will inspect the chassis number and engine number, I took them proof of purchase of chassis/body and engine. I was there for 20 minutes total, brought my own plates with me put them on and drove off, gsmiling all the way home. Within three hours of getting it home I have stripped it completely. Good luck. I am starting another build but with an LS2 this time for a mate. I will have to call in soon.
cheers

Kanga,
How is the car going?
Did you still have issues with the side pipes?
Cheers,

G'day Mike,
I was going to use Colin too but he has also not returned my calls. I have subsequently found out that a family issue has been affecting his work. However, returning a phone call is not hard to do. Colin had engineered RCM's before when he was at Enklemans but now he is on his own he doesn't have the paperwork on the RCM chassis available. So for both reasons I'm using someone else.

beejay, pipes have been fixed however I will be building a new set shortly, haven't had anytime to work on mine as I have been building a GT40 for a client. The weather isn't the best either so hopefully they will be done once the it turns good. How far have you got with yours?
