Cheers

really comes down to the inspector you get

some say you need a engineering cert some arent fazed

ive passed with a high mounted Supra before but i had engineering cert

and the inspector really just have it a quick once over

Bubba's also had success passing with his rb30 in his r32 (but that as on a standard setup)

best thing is just pay the $83 and see what they want you to change

I believe ossie had to get his car engineered.

TBH, the highmount will cause dramas. I have done mine in phases, Phase.1 was get the RB30 in, running and licensed - I think the fact that it looked stock under the bonnet and the fact that power delivery wasn't huge turboish, helped. Phase.2 is highmount turbo and I'll cross the licensing bridge when I get to it.

O true well the motor is already in and running looks stock as a rock besides the foward faceing plenum and high mount,, its a bit hard to hook up a standad setup without water lines any more lol, ived used all the rb20 cam and rocker covers so sould be sweet,, if not i will just have to buy a Standard Rb20det just to get over the pits

the car was licenced but i let the rego laps, not to worried about getting the 30 complied as cant tell from the naked eye, unless you know your skylines real well so police shouldind be botherd, i just want to make it over the pits so i can get new rego

that didnt go down with me, he told me i got a leathal weapon cause of the twin turbos. my 26 is all standard but its just all painted so first impression is looks like there is soo much work done to it.

thanks guys i think im just gonna run it over the pits as is and see what the kick a shit about ive changed my Engine numbers the dpi gave me a form cost like 50bucks hopefully should be all good dose any one know were to get an engineering cert from?

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
