Dose It Need Enginereeing?

[mr-r33]

Hi guys just got a Q for the guys in the know....

i have got an S13 silvia that has a RB20DET it.. i live in NSW but the car is from QLD and is mod plated for the swap in QLD...so how would i go for getting it rego in NSW with the mods as nothing is moded so to speek more a strat bolt in swap...

i once has a VP that was a V6 and put a V8 in it and called the RTA to ask if it was ok they told me that as the VPs come out v8 and it was a start bolt in it did not need enginereeing and was just a mater of geting a blue slip

so im thinking that it may not need enginereeing as it is just a start swap and nothing needs modifing

well with the commodore the car actually came with that motor from factory whereas the s13 never came with an rb motor from factory so just going by what happened with your VP isn't going to work.

Have you tried calling the RTA about the silvia i'm sure they could give you an answer i'm in QLD so know dickall about rules in NSW

you'll need engineering.

motor is not the same weight, which is usually an issue across all states.

same capacity, similar power output - but of a different family - and it's that which will cause you some drama's. Not major, should pass easily.

Yep - what Nismoid said - it also want offered as an option on the S13's.

With the VP the v8 was an option hence no need to engineer
