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.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
