Does Anyone Know If You Have To Engineer A Rb25 When It Goes Into A 32?

I'm not sure if you need an engineer's certificate (i'd say its likely) but you're going to have to do something about rego, seeing as the engine no. is different.

Call the RTA/Ministry of Transport and ask around. I'd make sure, just to save possible future stresses.

Good luck mate.

il just be telling the cops that the r32 came out with a rb25 motor in it... which it does. so really....unless they wanna go and check numbers itl come across as my motor was in the car from factory.

oh yeh. the cops will then go.. oh ok. no worries.

on your way my good man.

if you don't want to pay for a mod plate, then at least make sure that the engine number of th enew engine is on your rego papers along with the receipt of the purchase of the engine.

then remove the coil pack cover that says 2500

so if you get pulled over, and the cops decide to do an engine number/rego check on you, at least it will all line up fine.

i'd be more worried about what your insurance company will do if it's not engineered with an RB25. Yellow sticker is nothing compared to writing off your 32 and someone elses benz and then your insurance company says "nup" when you make a claim.

If your in NSW you definately have to get an engineers certificate because the capacity increase lies outside an 'owner certified' modification. It cant be any more than 15 or 20% (i cant remember exactly) capacity increase.

The rb25det did not come out in the r32, it was the rb25de engine.

Make sure you get it engineered before you install an aftermarket ecu, or you'll be up for an emissions test too, and thats f**ked.

Im just going through this process with a single turboed rb26 in an r32 with Autronic ecu, and my car has been out of rego for 4 years! Talk about a nightmare!

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
