Mod Plates?

[Kiwi_Phil]

Hi, im a newb with mod plates, never had to get a car mod plated and I dont know what actually needs mod plating -

Quick history is this, car is originally an R33 S2 GTS Auto, car has had following swaps done,

Engine swap to 25DET

Gearbox swap to 5 Speed

coilovers

Slotted rotors

FMIC ( return flow type )

Now im pretty sure the last 3 dont need plates but what about engine and gearbox? do they need plates??? I have been told yes by some and no by others, I have zero history of when the swap was done, previous owner purchased as it is, spark plug failure caused him to have engine rebuilt that's about all I know ..... I have no idea with the legalities of any of this but I want to stay away from the defect notices ( im in QLD if that makes any difference )

Did you upgrade to turbo brakes or is it the stock NA ones just slotted?

Is it an engine swap or a rebuild?

[Kiwi_Phil]

I have no idea what the brakes are, it has 5 stud so probably upgraded to turbo? Im not really sure how can I tell?

and Tony, the engine was swapped to turbo , then rebuilt sometime later

Engine swap needs to be blue plated. Different engine numbers can land you in a pile of poo.

engine swap to the same type of engine doesn't need a blue plate - just need to notify qld transport of the change in engine number

engine swap to a different type of engine (eg RB20 to RB25) needs a blue plate

For a 25DE to DET you will need a mod plate of some form. not sure if it will be the 'engine change' code or 'adding a turbo' code you will need though.

When I did a manual conversion on my old skyline I was told by qld transport it doesn't need a mod plate if you use all the parts from a factory manual of the same car.

Can't mod plate coil overs, don't need to mod plate slotted rotors.

FMIC if you haven't cut any body metal to fit it won't need a mod plate. If you have it will need one, and might be difficult to get.

I was thinking that since the det is a different engine, it would need a mod plate?

Ask a performance mechanic. .

Cops/transport can defect you for anything that isnt factory, got mine done at next up performance in rocklea but they get a bloke to come out and sign it off, i got engine,turbo,intercooler,surge tank cost $340
