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

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
