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

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
