hey guys as your probably remember few months back i got a yellow on my vlrb25det

well here is the update

vehicle went for first inspection and a few minor things were picked up however i was still asked to fill out and send off a application to modify vehicle and given a 30day extension. car went over pits again yesterday and all minor things passed. i just have to wait to hear back from dpi for my approval. vehicle was extended 2 months at this stage due to it can take up to 3 months for dpi to approve changes.

just thought i would keep you all informed as many people keep asking me for updates.

the moral to this story if your going to do a engine conversion just remember to to do it properly or you will get stung

Lucky you, a couple of years ago while I was waiting for my permits I had to pay for about 3 different inspections (that all passed, but had to wait for permits) that gave me 3 weeks maximum. Took about 4 months before I got approved

Yeh, when I had to go over the pits they wouldn't give me that extension. I had to get an accelerator pedal from Nissan which was going to take 4 weeks. I had to pay for the initial inspection (failed), then they said they could only give me a 2 week extension because the original sticker was for 3 weeks, so waited the 2 weeks then had to go back for another inspection (failed), this time they would only give me 1 more week, so waited that week, then had to go back for another inspection to get another week long extension, then the pedal arrived so I had to go back for a final inspection.

Only thing they wouldn't pass me on was my metal accelerator pedal. Yet I had to keep going back knowing my car was going to fail. They made a lot of money out of me :glare: Sounds like they've sorted that bullshit out.

uh, you should have just filled in an engine change form, u went from a 3ltr to a 2.5ltr. turbo etc who cares.

took me 3-4months to go thru pits when im240 was still in place i just kept putting stock pieces on eventually got a top bloke who just changed my engine number over and took sticker off -for my 25det conversion not my 30det

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
