Hey Guys

I have an rb25/30 in my 33 series 1. It has 850 sards, a gt35r and 45mm external gate (plumbed into exhaust).

I am located in Townsville

Does anyone know someone up here that would give me a mod plate? I'm not ONLY after some dodgy up cash job (although that would be nice). I am happy to go to a business and do it all properly I was just wondering if anyone up this way has gotten mod plates, if so what were they for, how much did it cost and who did you get it/them through? ESPECIALLY after anyone else who has done the twin cam 3L legally.

Cheers

Lukas

Just a bit of info for anyone else who is looking into getting mod plates for their car. I just rang up the engineer and he said that they can easily do rb25/30 here in Queensland. Just have to make sure there is 20mm clearance or hoses etc so there is no rubbing and that the car meets the emissions standard. The engineers do all of the emissions testing in house. The transport department has nothing to do with it. I phoned Queensland transport and the lady on the phone said that they do not do compulsory emissions testing to check your vehicles emissions, it is all up to the engineer who is inspecting the car and issuing the plate/certificate.

I will obviously keep this thread updated with my progress on actually getting my modification plate. I now just need to look into getting a nice new cat to help clean up those exhaust gasses and look into fitting a carbon canister and getting the envirotune :P

On a side not anyone who has a carbon canister with lines preferably that they want to get rid of Im all ears :D

Update on getting my car legal:

I spoke to the tuners today. They said that I should leave on the stock cat, connect up the carbon canister and put in the stock injectors and have a very very mild tune for when I go in for emissions. Dont know how that will go seeing as I have a 45mm wastegate with a 20psi spring. Maybe I could just take out the springs all together :blink:

Does anyone have any other suggestions as for what I should do?

I would love to try bribing but I doubt it will work :down:

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
