Hey All,

Just a few quick questions about an engine swap, not so much the physical swap but the paper work to go with it.

First off, the engine numbers, what do I have to do to get this changed on my registration? (I'm in Victoria if you need to know) Do I simply make an appointment at VicRoads and have them check the numbers and its all good?!?

Also engineering, I’ve been told that no engineering certificate is required but I just want to be sure. I'm putting an RB25DET (out of a stagea) into a GTS4, I'm upgrading all the hubs to 5 stud as well as the calipers to the ones form a GTS-T. Now I believe the modification is all good, but just to be sure.

Are there any other authorities ect. that I will have to contact to make it legit?!?

Cheers

I've been through this before. Ring VicRoads.

As its an import, most likely you will need an appointment and an engineers.

Each scenario is different, get it in writing from them, otherwise its all just speculation over the internet.

Well i have done some research and so far i have found:

-To change engine numbers you must go to VicRoads and fill out a change of discription form, no booking is needed, you must have the car with you and proof of ownership of the engine

-you dont need to go as far as an engineering cert, apparently there is something called a VASS cert, its for simple convertion (like the one im doing) and is between a road worthy and an engineering cert.

Anyone know more about this VASS thing? and can anyone recomend someone who is reasonably priced?

... a VASS is an Engineering Cert mate :ninja:

Vicroads have a list of people

http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/RoadSa...ficatesVASS.htm

I recommend:

Enkelman and Associates Pty Ltd

Factory 1, 5 Braeside Drive

Been there, so have a few of my friends. They were the most straight forward, and reasonably priced compared to 4 other places i rang for quotes etc (to the tune of $200)

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
