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.

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.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
