(this may not belong here so please move to appropriate forum if necessary)

I bought the car about 2 months ago now, and recently got my first rego renewal papers to see that the cars registered as an RB20 4 cylinder???

-How does this happen is it the previous owner or the D.O.T.'s doing?

-What do I do about this? Is it just as simple as going into a listening centre and telling them someone firetrucked up?

also I'm in WA if that affects the circumstance at all.

I might be wrong but I'd just leave it as long as you insure it for what is is and not go off the rego papers you should be fine

I wouldnt go through a blueslip or wa equivalent unless needed

My car is listed at the wrong weight on the rego papers and I've been told not to bother trying to correct it as it will end up costing me more than it's worth in savings if te weights bought down

Heaps of imports are regoed as sedans when they are clearly coupes and moat of the time people just leave it

yeah, why?

Clearly the guy at the rta who put through the compliance papers never saw the car in real life

I had an S13 that said sedan, they don't even make an S13 sedan, and the back seats were only good for children under 5

So in other words, just leave it as is, would that affect the third party insurance included with the rego? Obviously I've got private insurance as well. But if I was to crash would I be screwed?

It wouldn't have any effect of 3rd party cause you were not the person who entered the details when you complied the car

Plus I'm sure the price for 3rd party injury would be the same whether it was 4 or 6 cylinders

Alot of people belive it or not know nothing about cars they aren't interested in them so if they had an error on the registration papers how would they know so its not up to you to pick it up

I'm normally an honest person and would point this kinda stuff out, but if it's saving me money and because it's completely there fault I can't be held liable for any paperwork mistakes on their behalf it'll stay how it is.

I thought about telling them, but in the end thought "nah, its saving me about $15 per rego compared to my mum's V6 Camry, LOL", so the cheap arse Asian inside me isn't complaining... :yes:

The times I got pulled over & the cops ran checks through their data base on my car & they didn't mention anything about the 4 cyl issue neither (probably didn't know...).

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
