25 Powerd 32

[boliztik]

hey i got a rb25det in my r 32, but its only regod for the 20det.

my question is dose it need to go over the pits or will i just have to fill out a change of details form to get it all legal.

its all been profesionaly done with receipts etc.

cheers dylan

id imagine any motor swap would need a proper inspection by the transport body and maybe an engineer depending on your state

[boliztik]

allrite im in WA will the rest of my car have to be legal or will they just inspect the motor?

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.

[full house]

you can do it so, but need some inspection to be sure of that.

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.

Depends on weight ratio vrs car.. Some engines wont need to be engineered to be legal in your state however all engine number will need to be reported to the RTA.

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

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.

[babyskyline]

Go get it all engineered to be safe and that way you cant get done by the cops.

Better than having your car taken off the road
