The car is BUILD PLATED as TURBO.

- You cannot put a RB30E into a R32 and be legal if my recollection of laws is correct (I'm usually pretty on the money), meaning RB20E and RB25DE are your choices etc. You cannot put an older motor, into a newer chassis.

- You need to RE-ENGINEER it, that is not free to begin with. They might also emissions test you, again not free.

It's not a simple case of "motor out, motor in - I've beaten the system".

It might pay you to investigate the laws before getting wild ideas.

i work in the industry and know an engineer, i can get most things done cheap.

like ive said its still just an idea its not a solid plan as of yet. im still trying to sell the car. this is only an idea for if the car doesnt sell and i decide to keep it

Was that the only civil war? You didn't specify

Next thing you will claim your horses actually made 1.5hp

I didn't specify, just saying that there were no tanks in the Civil War re enactments that I take part in.

As far as horses making 1.5 HP it is very possible. I mean we all know horses have power-bands, like any engine. You know how when you ride a horse and when you squeeze your boots into it and it goes from a trot to a canter to a sprint and you feel the increase in torque, they called that the "boots" but somewhere along the line it was misread as "boost", so the term boost that we all know so well actually comes from the good old days when we all used horses to get around.

Anyway, back to the HP discussion. Unlike today, when you had your horse dynoed (attached to a rope which went through a sheave 90 degrees to a load hanging vertical) they used an average power figure as opposed to a peak power figure we use today. So to say a horse has 1 HP is just an average figure, in fact many horses had anywhere up to 1.8HP peak power.

yeah im aware of that, its not my biggest worry

Well it should be because you might as well leave the RB20DET in there. You are illegal regardless.

At least when you get defected, realise it was a dumb idea to buy the turbo...

You'll actually be able to sell it. As opposed to with a RB30E, illegal motor, car is now not worth a cent.

if i put an n/a motor in the car the plan will be to keep it! so im not worried about the value. why be so f**king hostile for

I dont think he understands the english :(

use your f**king head. its a completely different kind of illegal, if i get caught driving turbo i instantly lose my licence. if i get caught driving a car with an illegal motor in it they defect the car, i keep my licence.. which one would u rather!!???

If you drag your engineer into it and he writes a blue plate for a car that is not legally allowed to be blue plated, he will lose his licence. And he will be aware of this....and not write the plate, therefore you won't be able to get it engineered and when you get pulled over, instead of being fined for driving a turbo car on your P's, you'll have the car removed from the road permanently and get a fine for driving an illegally modified car.

Something to consider if you are thinking of doing it still

Because you see unable to comprehend basic logic?

Let me try, once more - to help you out.

RB20DET - Illegal

RB30E - Illegal

Why f**k around, putting a RB30E into the R32 if its illegal?

It's time, effort, money - and you are no better off. You have a car that is worth less, is slower and is in no way anymore "legal"

Tell me you speaka da englese ?

I'd rather buy a VL and be done with it

The car is build plated as turbo

If you really do "work in the industry", you'd realise that regardless of what motor - all the officer has to do is look at the REGO STICKER.

It's a TURBO VEHICLE regardless of whether there is actually a turbo in the engine bay. The Police don't care.

You could take it to court, then try explain why you have a illegal motor in the car.

I bet that'll go down brilliantly, so make sure you let me know if it does. I'll fly up just to sit there and listen in.

both you guys are f**ked i swear to god if yous wanna be f**kwits gimme a call and lets have a chat you obviously arent listening to a thing im even trying to say.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
