You will hear varying stories on complexity and hardness but my personal experience is that I put an RB30DET in my 32, got a sticker, took it over pits, they notarised the new engine number and that was it. I now have an R32 GTSt licensed with an RB30DET in there.

If it's done well (read: not dodgy), then you shouldn't have any real dramas, will probably have to get it engineered though, have a search as there are a couple of threads on it in the WA section.

+1, everyone on here has different opinions on what needs to be done.

But as Bubba said, all you really need to do is fill out a change of engine number form. Basically because the engine is not changing the number of cylinders that you had from factory, you just need to download a form from the DPI website notifying them of the change of engine. And that should be it.

Rather than people's OPINIONS on how the law complies, why don't you hit up the DPI website and read through the ADRs.

Under the power to weight ratio rules you can register a 2.5 litre with forced induction in an R32 Skyline with no drama's.

You'll need the car signed off by an engineer, usually whoever does the conversion can do this for you.

thanks guys i feel so much better!!!lol! I will do all the above thankyou.. boostin 25 yeah boi! cant wait!

Hit up Nirans thread, His going through the exact same thing at the moment......

However my experience was the same as Bubbas, no fuss when changing engine from 26 to 30 (32GTR)

his was quiet extreme from 20 to 30 lol

My 32 has a RB25 in it. The car has R33 GTST brakes, which is required to be put on. This is because you need brakes the same size as what the car had that the engine came out of or bigger. So once that was done, car has been rego'd with 25 easy.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
