Yep it should pass without a problem mate....its a Nissan OEM part so not defectable....one would assume...

Nissan OEM parts are not illegal to have :P

unless you know for sure, i think you should stop misinforming people. the inspectors are not stupid. they know how to read serial numbers on turbines and are able to tell which motor they are originally from.

they pick up on t28's on redtop sr's, but you don't think they'd spot a vg30 on an rb?

sometimes you may get lucky and have it overlooked but at the end of the day it's an induction modification, it alters emissions and in their eyes it shoudln't be there

long story short, cop rang him about a car, he had sold it previously on defect, cop was looking for the new owner as he was reported driving recklessly, and the cop warned him that you must not sell a defected vehicle, only to a wrecker.

Both Mike and Dave are correct, unless it's the STANDARD turbo, it isn't legal and they will nab you

when i took my 32 4dr through regency for the compliance check they told me that the best LEGAL upgrade would be a vg30 turbo as they were a standard nissan part.

but that was 2 yrs ago now. anything could have changed. if you need to know anything why dont you ring the ppl at vehical standards and ask. its not that hard and they are actually nice ppl. vehical standars went over my celsior top to bottom when that went through and were good to me. they never check cars but they happened to see a car with dished 18s on it so they looked into it and was confused with the stock celsior airbag system and components. so they looked into it.

Just a quick one to let you all know people at regency do read this thread

Can they jump on and clear things up for us? haha...

Calling up transport SA is fairly useless and most cops are misinformed with these things.

So i assume you actually called them and asked before stating that i was misinforming people....i know at least 3 mates cars have passed with the VG30 turbo....called vehicle standards and they said it should be ok

and there is another confirmation :happy:

there is your key word.

had you have called back 3 hours later, you may have been given a completely different answer.

there is a lack of consistency down there, depends who you deal with and what time of the week you deal with them

just to re-itterate my previous point, they are unfortunately. as an example, fitting bnr34 wheels put a number of other nissans out of track (only by the smallest figure) when fitted - this is ILLEGAL according to vehicle standards

Yeah your right there mike.....there is a big difference depending on who you end up getting on the other side of the phone.

But you can use other Nissan OEM parts off a GTST not a GTR....so that isnt illegal :P

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.

      Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender

      I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
