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

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
