he aint been a cop for long, but he's been round the car scene for longer than you've had cooked dinners my friend ;0

you gotta work on your banter a little bit matty, wrong expression me thinks. or just worded poorly. either or.

What? No one cooks their dinners? :cool:

I know where Matty's coming from. :banana: Hey Matty, I might know this Ryan cop, wouldn't happen to have a brother named Aaron? PM me and I can give you a last name. Haven't seen these guys in years ... oh the trouble we got into :)

ruby, dont know if he has a brother lol, only met him a couple of times through other mates. most people would probably know the zero traxion dvds..............and where they were filmed (and who was in them LOL).

and rocky, he's registered on here as well, think you were thinking of the username 5LEEPER

finally got my car on the road after 11 months. driven it for 1.5 weeks when i got pulled over on regency rd sat morning. the cop measured the height of the car and said it was 5mm to low and that the wheels were sticking out the guards, After looking around the car and under the bonnet he asked me if i wanted to go to regency. when i replied not really he said that driving the car around like this

is basically driving around with a big flag on top of the car which said defect me. i said i couldn't see the flag just joking with him as he checked my license and then told me to have a nice day and drove off without defecting me. what a tripper, i thought i was off the road for sure.

Very, very lucky! If you get a chance mate, call me tomorrow to discuss the motor, I'm very interested

yeh u can get his last name off pretty much any zero traxion clip, i wont post it up here as its not my place, but a quick search will reveal it if need be. also a bloke on here who's in the force, not sure if he's a full cop or not, but he's moved on to ford and sold his 33 as apparently they have no issues defecting the newbies cars when they come lol

Kudos to the cop....sounds like he was a nice chap....but to be honest mate you were so damn lucky....now go and buy a lottery ticket and really put that flag on the car

Not defected but Im taking a 32 with a 25det in it through regency as it is from Victoria, with the brake upgrade will 33 slotted rotors and callipers on the front be enough? Or do I need to replace the rear brakes as well? and if so how much should I expect to pay for the callipers, I will be buying the rotors separately brand new.

Cheers.

you should be fine with just the front brakes dude. afaik theres no difference with the rears.

Ok well here's the whole deal I am buying this car from VIC on Sunday and it is not engineered or registered with the RB25. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Eo...ts-t285533.html

Now he is supplying me with 4 stock rims, afm and stock cooler + piping. I can get a stock ECU, entire intake with injectors, fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator off a mate. I can easily remove the catch can, turbo timer and replace any bushes, the suspension is non adjustable and is above 100mm in ALL places. I can also get an EPA test done that will pass and the exhaust is apparently very quiet, also the pod is mounted to the chassis.

Now I know I am going to have to replace the intake and fuelling accessories, the ECU, put the stock AFM back, remove the vented catch can and turbo timer but can I get away the front mount and the suspension? Is it even possible to pass with the ECU providing it passes the EPA test with it installed? It is plug and play so no fuss replacing it but would make it easier if I could leave the ecu + the fueling system in place as this will be the biggest pain in the ass.

Oh also the engine numbers will obviously not match up as the car is still registered with the RB20, providing they check that the car has the R33 turbo brakes and it passes the inspection will they give me authorisation to get it registered?

Anyway thanks guys, wish me luck. I've got 2 months of rego left on it so I will just drive it around on VIC plates until I get all these things sorted.

:banana:

If the car is stock is there anything else I need to do to the car to make it pass?

im half way doin the rb25 to my 32 and i was under the inpression u have to get a emisssions test? just to make sure the stock ecu is there and un modified. thats what i was told and told, and it dosent matter about the rear r32 brakes being almost the same as the r33 brakes, u must have the r33 brakes or the same year or above brakes when doing the engine conversion. This has been what i was told by my mechanic. and it might pay to make sure the slotted rotors are ADR approved. i dont think all of them are. good luck with it though, i gotta take mine through soon :domokun:

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
