hey dude i'm in vic and i just recently did the same conversion in my 32. i just told them i blew up my old engine (rb20det) and had to put a new engine in (rb25det). All they asked for was the recipt for new engine and to veiw the engine number in the car (to make sure it wasn't a stolen engine, i would imagine). Oh and i just said it was the same sort of engine to avoid questions about having a bigger engine.

So did they pull you up on the engine number, because you saying that its an rb20, with an engine number rb25xxxx is likely to get you in trouble. its an increase in power and capacity so most of the time you need an engineer's cert. but thats just in vic, cant comment on other states.

Nah not at all, 20 or 25 same thing to a stock person haha. you have to remember that 99.9% of people wouldn't know that r32gtst's come standard with rb20det's and r33gtst's come standard with rb25det's. so unless the person viewing the engine number is a mechanic that knows alot about skylines then i'd think you'd be pretty sweet.

It worse than that. 'Stock' people (what, like they're friggin' cattle?) wouldn't know what the noise is coming from under the bonnet.

Soon as an officer pulls you over - off the road you'll go with the illegal engine conversion :P

Police know what it all means. And can see if you've been engineered or not, if you haven't, bye bye :(

I know quite a number of people who've been instantly put off the road for that kind of thing.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must me missing something?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
