Hey guys,

I'm going to be doing an engine transfer soon and i have a few questions regarding sa rego.

Firstly i am transfering it from an RB25DE to an RB25DET. I get the same engine plate and compliance plate with the engine im putting in. So what should i do? Is there a way to declare this with Motoreg? and no engine plate transfer is required or will i need to go to regency and get it checked? is there a person who re-stamps engine plates and i can get away with it?

It's not a problem for me to go to Regency but i would rather get a way out which would be easier seeing that i have all the resources available.

Cheers

all Club Members should of received a copy of the Club Constitution here are just a couple of clauses for your perusal

now I'm hoping most of the plate swapping talk was said tongue in cheek but it has to be taken very seriously as its a prosecutable offense and could bring the club into disrepute

28.11 All members shall abide by the constitution and decisions made by the committee of the club.

30.3 A member may be expelled from the club in accordance with the disciplinary rules of the club.

30.4 Membership shall be forfeited through:

1. Misappropriation of club property or funds

2. For any act which is deemed detrimental to the reputation of the club

3. Contravening any section of the constitution or decisions of the club

4. At the committees discretion upon a review of their performance.

30.5 No refund of fees or donations to the club shall be given out if a member resigns or is expelled from the club.

30.6 Any person forfeiting membership must return the club property and club card in seven (7) days.

31.0 MISCONDUCT

31.1 Any member of the club may be disciplined, suspended or expelled by the Committee.

if any member hasn't received a copy of the Constitution speak up and one of the Committee Members will see to it your revive an email

Not only is it illegal, it's stupid. If you get caught, nice knowing you. If you don't have the money to stuff around and go to Regency, perhaps you should reassess your choice of vehicle. Also posting up on here about plate swapping is not the smartest of moves. These forums are monitored

Yeah, what the guys are saying is that the police do monitor these forums. Now you're talking about plate swapping (which you know by now is illegal) and the cops can easily see you are a club member. As your club executives, we have to say to you that its illegal and that would look bad for the club. We are afterall trying to demonstrate to the police and Joe Public that we are responsible import owners.

Nothing wrong with doing the conversion to turbo. Just swap the engines, and other suitable hardware (brakes etc) and then take the car thru Regency without the plate swapping. Plate swapping = very bad :)

:D

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
