Maximum Engine Capacity (Refer to Notes Below)

Naturally Aspirated

Turbo/Supercharged

All vehicles originally weighing less than 1100kg.

Original tare mass (kg) x 0.183

=

max. capacity in cubic inches

Original tare mass (kg) x 3.0

=

max. capacity in cc's

Original tare mass (kg) x 0.153

=

max. capacity in cubic inches

Original tare mass (kg) x 2.5

=

max. capacity in cc's

<H5 style="MARGIN: 6pt 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: none"></H5>

All vehicles originally weighing more than 1100 kg.

Original tare mass (kg) x 0.305

=

max. capacity in cubic inches

Original tare mass (kg) x 5.0

=

max. capacity in cc's

Original tare mass (kg) x 0.183

=

max. capacity in cubic inches

Original tare mass (kg) x 3.0

=

max. capacity in cc's

This table will be applied to all modifications.

lol it's not even a public website, and it's in another language!

this shit needs to take a trip to the Wasteland!

Was a public website for comments, on reviewing the NCOP VSB 14

Must mean if it aint for review anymore they have alredy decided.

The LA1 table has always been in the VSB14, just didnt apply to LA3 modifications, I heard they moved the table in the LA document so that it will apply.

hey dumbass, that is from feb last year, and it only applies to modifications. basically it means you can't put a 427 chev engine in a gemini. has nothing to do with what the manufacturers put in their cars from the factory.

Hey thanks for the compliment, but that was when all the state heads of Vehicle Safety sections agreed to the change, or so my mate tells me.

And of course your right, every manufacturer has a V8 with a turbo or superchaged engine in their stable. Still they spent the money on R&D so they can do what they like, we wont be able to.

yes but they did the R&D on making sure that a chassis will be able to handle the power. some backyarder who puts a blown 350 chev into a torana won't know/care about whether it is going to twist the chassis every time he launches it. and he might put it in and not do any upgrades to the brakes or anything like that.

I'm not arguing for bad modifications, and I am all for manufacturers producing hot cars, turbo or otherwise.

I was just flagging impending change, to be for warned is to be for armed.

If your about to mod a V8 with a supercharger, espesially here in the west u need to know this shit.

as much fun as that would be, afraid not

although in a car that light, i think the twist of the engine when you reved it meant that if you were showing off at the lights by reving the car, if you reved it too hard it would just flip the car onto its roof, LOL

Hey VSB 14 NCOP version 2 will ban V8s being blown.

3 x tare weight = max cc allowed.

Commodore v8 1600kg = 4800cc.

Bye Bye blown V8s.

Imports will rise to the top.

Learn to read first...

All vehicles originally weighing more than 1100 kg.

Original tare mass (kg) x 5.0

=

max. capacity in cc's

1600*5=8000. Can you even get 8L v8s?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.
