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

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
