7k R32 PLEASE!

hey

just went to vicroads (obviously in victoria) and it seems that getting the engine number changed in their books is harder then what everyone first said. Took my r32 in with the new rb25 and they were saying it will need an engineers report done. I did the the research before i got all this done and i was told this wouldnt be the case dude to a small range of r32s that came out with rb25de.

Even the mechanic who apparently has done a lot of these converts said i wouldnt need one.

Anyone had their car passed no troubles without and engineers?

cheers

I'm not too sure about the engineering cetificate etc. but find out the difference between the rb25 r32 and the rb20 r32. For instance, the rb25 version have bigger brakes, you will need to do this. Otherwise, if the only difference is the engine, then I think you may be right and don't really need the engineering certificate. Good luck mate

I fitted a RB25DET from a Stagea into by 32 GTS4. I simply went to my local Vicroads (E. Burwood) and filled out the "I've changed the engine number" form, They checked the engine number on the block matched the engine number on the form. No problems.

Not sure if the figures below are accurate but: (PM R31Nismoid, he's done alot of research on this issue)

I believe if you increase the capacity by over 0.1ltrs or increase the power (from factory spec) by over 20% you legally need an engineer's cert.

Alot of people get away with it because the person behind the counter has no idea, you simply got someone that was "switched on" and knows how to do their job. I wouldn't be surprised if the person has now marked your registration as requiring a engineer's cert, so don't bother trying at another depot. I would also ring VICroads and inquire about the status of your registration and whether you can still legally drive it (till you get it engineered); you'd hate to get done for driving an unregistered vehicle :(.

Getting an engineer's for the conversion shouldn't be to hard, as Skylines are generally over engineered from factory, but ensure you have std parts, with only one intake mod. The only problem you may have is the extra $$'s you have not accounted for.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
