Do you mean register the car, or register the engine conversion? Took mine through Regency 2 weeks ago to register the RB25 in it, got my certificate of exemption/modification today.

+1 for Shaun, despite your mate. He had my car in and out within few days and been purring since - that's a good year ago! Luck with it.

Dec's does a great job with wiring. he works in the same principle as i do, everything must look and work as factory.

I got your msg mate i'll be down next week to come and do it some time. just got to work out when im free :D

cheers mate i got your msg ill see you tuesday :thumbsup:

get after market ecu then anyone can do it, i used microtech when i changed from rb20 to 25 thats when JMS were the old JMS. much better scope of changes when u use after market puter.

ive got a mines ecu tuned for the mods ive got so far so that will do for now

amd yeah evryone has been saying simons work is great so im happy :D

  • 3 weeks later...

just a quick update, simon did a great job it looks factory and works like factory and it was running and registered by the end of that week. ( next engine swap i do ill be calling simon for sure )

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
