I myself cant answer those questions, I think you need to get them reissued. But my 4 door is registered with the RB25 in it no engineers certificate was needed. They asked if I had an engineers certificate but didn't tell me I needed one.

Cars has been defected once for the exhaust and had no issues re the RB25. You might not have the same luck as me as yours is a NEO. But just thought I'd let you know.

Pretty sure mod plates are specific to the state of Queensland. I haven't heard of NSW, ACT or VIC having mod plates.

Did you ever meet Rob's mate Ben? He works at Vehicle Safety Standards and from what I recall him saying, it is up to each state or territory to manage their own legislation about vehicle modification. So you'll probably need to ask someone at RegoACT.

However since the R32 did come with a RB25 variet, it may be one of the modifications that do not require certification.

      If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.

      Semi-correction to my blanket statement that you can't bend rubber hoses. It seems that you can get most of a result, by doing as this guy does. I wouldn't promise that the bends will stay in the hose forever. I think if I found they wouldn't stay, I'd get a larger hose and cut some 90°s out to go over the bends I wanted to be in the smaller hose, as a reinforcement.

      Just a heads up. Mine has just failed. When i turn the car on it just reboots everytime then the word "Android" shows up then goes to a black screen. I've aksed the company i got it from for some help but it's passed their 90 day return so they wont help. I have to swap back to my old system this weekend 😭

      Does the car have to stay auto? If so, you might be looking at a ZF swap in future.
