having worked for engineers in the past,what i have learned is that you would have to change the engine back....emissions data that was gathered for the engine in question is or at least at the time i was in the know was irrelevent when the engine had been put into another vehicle because of the weight diffrence of the 2 vehicles...also diffrent fuel tanks(evaporative systems) in the two vehicles would alter the emissions data....if the car is tuned right you could send it to ford and get a full shed test and if it passes youd be laughing...but i think it was 2500-3000 when i sent mine there about a year or so ago...this info may be incorrect on todays standards but megalla is right in saying check with an engineer

hmmm where can me or narkeh get in touch with an Engineer? (I think Dave would like to know as well) Dotars? might get onto em on tuesday.

Just rang J-spec, they said that since the engine was a Nissan RB Variant, and the car is a Nissan which came equiped with RB engines (which means things like the exhaust are still in the same position etc, and there are no major modifications to the functioning of the car), they don't forsee any problems with getting compliance on the car (which they will handle anyways). In addition they also said that since test data is available for the engine and the car, and that the car is 1988, there shouldn't be any hassles from the engineer.

Also as a side note, I've noticed that the emissions data on my car (found on the bonnet in my car) read Emission data for Nissan R32 GTR (RB26DETT). Found this greatly aamusing since I've got an RB20DE. So does that mean that I could have brought down a GTS with an RB26DETT and still have passed compliance. Mind you my car was the last RB20DE R32 to come into the country under the old compliance scheme according to canberra.

ey nark, as per the discussion before

[edited] for the mechanic report and the 30 images that he took while inspecting the car

inark- edited it for now... will explain later

hahahaha omg thats mad...

nothing major wrong with the body.... luckily i used to be a panel beater :D and that my bro is about to rent out some space for working on cars in the next month or two :D

i might need to order a new front bar (same one)... those stress cracks look a little nasty and will be hard to fix properly. Rear bar looks fine on the outside... what damage is behind it tho is a different story.

by the time im finished with it it will look smick :D

Guest INASNT

So are ya seriously getting this nackers???

If so its gonna be one of the fattest cars in vic, but driveways and and bump in gereral will be a problem coz its damn low.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
