go to JPJ and told them that u want to register your engine... be sure to bring your grant, receipts and engine AP with you. They'll tell you what u need to fill out and where to send to. then you'll wait for the SURAT KAWALSELIA to come and pre-approve already. Then go for puspakom VR1 inspection (around RM40) and it's usually quite easy. then take the thing back to JPJ to get your endorsement. that's it.

take a day off to do the puspakom and JPJ. the first step could be done with 1 or 2 hours. ;)

runners? usually around RM300 to RM500 depends... but it's actually nothing to it. :D

they said mirage body kit in satria cannot get through right?
but there is one malay workshop told me that bodykit can be legal if register... is it true?

when sending yur car for inspection, better to let it stock standard .. 15" okay .. not too lowered, coz afraid of sangkut when doing the underneath scanning .. tinting if possible not too dark .. brake system .. exhaust system ..

do it yurself .. puspakom normally has two lanes .. one for comercial vehicles and another for private vehicles .. if yu're early, no need to que .. I did mime for one hour only ..

 

[integramania]

but then if car got all the stuff like big rims, exhaust, bodykit....then is it advisable to DIY bro?

topui11,
u say need to bring the car grant, receipt and engine AP, what receipt and what AP, mind to explain?
if i buy the engine from our local car owner themself due to he/she changed engine and we buy the engine from he/she, then what document to bring to JPJ & Puspakom?

exhaust ler? which is usually the obvious one...thanks

 

[speedking]

exhaust just change back to stock lor...
i did the JPJ inspection myself 1.3 to 1.6...quite easy actually....no need to pay kopi O...
15" rims and lowered...but exhaust standard and stock...and no bodykit......no problem at all :)

 

[EG9wannabe]

agree with speedking .. change back to stock exhaust .. if using back box .. make sure he sound not so loud .. me using 3 " outlet with straight flow .. but underneath got two bullets .. so not that loud ..

as for body part .. better use back yur ori laa .. just in case .. aa llaa .. only 1 hour what ..

Guys n Gals...just want to share my experience

Car Modification/Engine Transplant
It's a tricky business, but if you go by the book it'll turned out just fine.
When you want to do engine transplant, pls consider it as a big project as it'll involved a lot of your money. Thus plan it well. Don't intend to do ridiculous engine transplant i.e 1.3 chassis to put 2.0 engine in it, surely the JPJ/PUSPAKOM will failed you...be reasonable how can 1.3 chassis to carry a power load generated from 2.0 engine?
After the engine transplant, I still have that 1.6 road tax for about 6 months...so I have an ample time get a pre-approval(KAWAL SELIA) from JPJ/Technical Division, Putrajaya...got the letter went to PUSPAKOM Wangsa Maju...Entered around 8.00am, drove out successfully 1 hour later ...
B4 go there; check the following
1. No modification/fabrication on engine base mounting and all systems are up and running (Electricals, Braking, all the lights )
2. If engine power increase, be sure to upgrade the brakes as well
3. Clean exterior/interior most important the engine/chassis number must be clearly visible
4. No excessive oil leaks.

I even went in with my
1. 17 inch rim,
2. tinted window(they know which one is illegal)
3. 2.5 inch exhaust pipe, GReddy Muffler (replace the tail pipe to smaller one, originally 5 inch! surely fail)
ALL FOR ONLY RM40.00

went to JPJ and get it endorsed.

as for myself, transplant from 1.6 SOHC carby engine to 1.8 DOHC Turbo engine..

Happy Converting
