And I'm takin' it to the bank! :P See below...

lol but on a serious note.. do you think that is a vq30det the old one ?

because in the description he does say it did start life as a vq30de in a rx300

i would like to think he got a vq25det and used that to make a vq30det with forged internals but could be wishfull thinking.

Am I the only one who realizes this is illegal ??

Are you aware this car is in New Zealand?

I'm pretty sure they'd let you register a V8 powered skateboard, if it had seatbelts...

*Note* The above post is not intended to enrage or insult NZ'ers who have quality, well engineered cars; you guys are awesome. :D

Im sure its the VQ30det, no variable cams etc. There is a thread on it somewhere.

I have heard the VQ30det can run over 400wkw on the stock engine, as ours has the same stroke there is the possibility the same bullet proof rods are in our blocks. Thats my theory anyway.

wiki.... where i rely on all info to be correct... :)

So no, not instantly illegal, because the engine is not older than the chassis it's going into. Thems the rules AFAIK.

VQ30DET

The 3.0 L (2987 cc) VQ30DET is a turbocharged version of the VQ30DE. Bore and stroke remain the same at 93 mm and 73.3 mm respectively, and it has a compression ratio of 9.0:1. It produces 270 PS (200 kW; 270 hp) and 271 ft·lbf (367 N·m). From 1998 onwards, it produces 280 PS (210 kW; 280 hp) @6000 rpm and 285 ft·lbf (386 N·m) @3600 rpm.

It is fitted to the following vehicles:

* 1995–2004 Nissan Gloria Y33,Y34

* 1995–2004 Nissan Cedric Y33,Y34

* 1997–1999 Nissan Leopard Y33

* 2001–present Nissan Cima F50

Yes mate, we have the same rods as found in the F50 Cima's VQ30det.

As an aside, Nissan also use these same rods in the VQ30dd and VQ25dd.

I didn't think it was legal anywhere to use an engine older then the car. Sorry if i might be wrong but thats what I thought.

If that was the case, how could people put 12A (Series 1 - 1979) rotaries into newer vans, bmws, etc... As pointed out, in NZ you can pretty much get away with anything, aslong as it's certified.

Our laws are only just starting to get harsh, like exhaust noise, cat converter etc

Haha so you were confused lol :D

FYI in QLD if the motor series was produced at the same time as the car then its fine, it's not based on the year the actual motor was produced rather the year that motor type was available.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
