question...

If a mechanic happens to write a RWC for a RB25 in a S Chassis. Whats stopping it going through? Say you get a dumb inspector at vicroads who identifies engine number on block to RWC engine number and thinks nothing of it as it has nissan on the coilpack cover?

Do you manually put in details on computer and it won't 'allow' to have an 'RB' engine code put in or could it be overlooked?

The fact VicRoads clearly list it as a VASS requirement for a non factory option engine to require a VASS?

A RWC simply does not cut it.

Whilst this thread is a novel idea - there is a EPA/RWC thread that is to be used for all questions/answers:

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
