Just wondering what the routine is for registering a VL with an RB25DET NEO in it in WA?

Does it need to run all the emission controls from the car it came from( ie:charcoal canister)

And if it has those emission controls, what else is needed?

Does it need to be engineered before pits?

Not too sure on a lot of this, so if someone could shed some light that'd be much appreciated

Cheers :)

I recently spoke to the guys at the licensing centre in Welshpool cause I've got a 30DET being built for my R34. When I asked him about emission controls and how they test he told me 'if I walk past the car and the exhaust makes my eyes bleed due to over fueling etc then I'm going to fail it'.

You'll probably need the standard afm and o2 sensor and get a hi-flow cat convertor as well. Run it with either the factory ecu or an aftermarket ecu which has been detuned to meet emissions. When you apply for your mod permit from the VSSS they will tell you to go get an engineering report before going over the pits, this is usually the case when going from a naturally aspirated vehicle to forced induction or if there is an increase power or engine size.

So i just have to get an engineering cert for the engine in the car stating that its all good? So if i get engineering, the rest is paperwork and roadworthy checks?

Why would i get a high flow cat for an emission test? Doesnt that make emissions worse for testing?

cheers for your help so soon!

Pretty sure you do the paperwork first, they'll come back and approve your mods then you take the car to the engineering guy and then you go off to the pits... I'm just going by memory here from when I spoke to the mods guys at Welshpool last month

A high flow cat is better for emissions than what no cat would be assuming it might fail if its just straight thru exhaust.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
