does anyone know what the go is with an rb25 into a 32 gtst??

trying to find out whether i can just fill out an engine transfer form at service SA and itll change the rego number and all is good

or will regency be chasing after me if i do that??

and if i dont do anything about it im sure insurance wouldnt cover me in the event on a crash if they knew it was a bigger engine.

any help appreciated.

RB25DET into R32 is fine, as long as you carry the brakes across from the R33 unless you have M-Type of the R32 gtst. Depends on who you get.

yeah I know it's fine to do. I jus wanted to know if I had to go through regency or not , which I found out I do :(

Can try just filling out the engine change form and leaving the capacity standard etc, dodgy but I've heard it can work.

Regency isn't so bad, means if you ever do get defected youll pass first go, plus they pick up lots of things that you really should get fixed anyway like bushes, boots, bearings, CVs etc.

I have just recently come across Nisswreck that do defect removal for you, (you give them your car with defect ...and a pile of cash...and they give you back your car all roadworthy and nice) does anyone know of any other places that offer that service?

The guys at lonsdale loved my 33 when i brought it in... so much so that i had 2 inspectors competing against each other to see who could find more defects.... luckly it was only 2 pages worth

Why would you even bother taking it through if it had that much stuff obviously wrong with it?

Well the main stuff that i knew wouldnt get through was the intake, exhaust, turbo and suspension. As you know, removing and replacing these items is expensive to say the least. I bought the car with a defect notice already on it for HID headlights so i took the off chance that taking it through initially with all the bad shit hanging out, they may overlook some of the little things. As you know, once you have a list from the inspection, when it goes back they usually only check through whats on the list... not a full reinspection.

So like i said, i took my chances and now i know what i have to do to get it back on the road.

oh...nisswreck havent confirmed yet, but they hinted may want somewhere around 3k to do it for me (ouch)

Another thing....

are LED tail lights illegal? That was one thign that was added onto my list... not that they needed to be removed, but i needed to show relevant ADR standards for them....

also the tint on my rear 1/4 windows...( which is darker than my side window tint ) i didnt know those little things could be an issue...

If theyre JDM led's they most likely won't have the ADR approval - tho you may get lucky - LED's in concept arent illegal but they have to fit within a certain brightness tolerance level to be ADR approved. Sucks but there it is ;(

-D

I got through 3 times with led lights on my car. Also they kept adding to the list each time. Hence why I went through 3 times. They just say the other guy wasn't doing his job then.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • 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.
