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

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
