Rb25Det Into R32 Legal Cost

[eightsixboy]

Yea theres no ways its that cheap in vic to get something like a engine conversion engineered, there seems to be a huge difference or leniency from state to state, its pretty annoying, friggin nanny state

When I had my ae86 I wanted to engineer the 4age but it was far to much effort and this was like 5 years ago when the were only just cracking down, never got pulled over so never worried about it.

The way the laws are going here any mods full stop will be illegal soon.

SA is cheaper but they are by far one of the strictest and hardest to pass, everything basically has to be stock to pass. I have a highflowed stock turbo, but he picked up that it looked cleaner than everything else and asked who rebuilt it and to what specs.

The $140 inspection is like a full EPA inspection in other states, EVERYTHING is checked. They even picked me up on missing dump bolts.

So I see.

Either way IMO whether the engine stays stock or get modded they both have downsides, getting a stock engine engineered is alot of money for very little gain. And if you mod the 25 it makes it illegal and the engineers cert pointless, you will have to get it back to stock and re check anyways if/when you get defected.

Thats the prob with the 32, it came with a little 2lte engine, if only they had designed a late model 32 with a series 1 25 we would all be laughing.

You should all move to WA.. I got my 32 registered with the 3L with nothing more than letting the inspector take it for a drive.. when he got back and handed me the keys he said "thanks for that! I love skylines!"

That makes no sense, did you tell him you had changed the engine? Because its not properly registered if you didn't.

also people it is easier than you think to grind engine numbers off and stamp new ones on
