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

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
