R32 With Rb25

[Humpty Dumpty]

So Guys,

I am wanting to know hopefully without a debate through peoples knowledge if it is ok to register a R32 Skyline with a RB25 in it.

Knowing that a R32 Came out with a RB20 and RB26 and you are technically allowed 25% change in engine size which the RB25 fits either side of the RB25 and RB26.

As the RB25 is a great upgrade for a R32 I am trying to figure out if registering it with the RB25 will cause me too many issues like getting it engineered compared to keeping it as a RB20.

Thanks for you input.

Mine might be a special case, not sure, but my R32 has an r32 spec rb25 in it. No engineers certificate needed. Although they did ask me if I had one when I took it over the pits.

did you have to take it through dickson though...... in this case I am only needing a regular inspection, but seeming that the R32 came out with a 2.6L as well all the other engines.

Its such a tricky subject I have spoken to RTA and they said it is fine but you never know with them clowns

You never know, some people have horrible experiences at dickson, some don't I took my 32 over dickson to get rego from nsw to act. They passed it, after I put a rego muffler on. I was defected years later for too loud an exhaust, took it over dickson again, they found that my coilovers were leaking, but didn't say boo about the engine, mind you it's an r32 rb25de thats been turboed.

So it's really luck of the draw I think. You might be okay, or they may decide to pick over every little thing.

In my case mine wont go through dickson as it has a high mount, fmic, exhaust etc so i would get it all done through a regular inspector that wont crack it at the high mount etc.

The only issue i have is the rb25 issue but by the sounds of what i have heard, research etc it is ok.

Bren, Get written confirmation from the RTA saying you can do it and it will be fine. IF dickson say it isn't wave it in their face and say f**k you.

Where did you see this?

As far as I was aware, any modification from factory requires certification.

Some people on this forum have convinced the person doing the inspection that RB25det does not require certification in a R32 because, as Chris mentioned, it an RB25 was a factory option at the very end without being specific.

I'm pretty sure the RTA that being referred to is Rego ACT/TAMS(???). There isn't a Australia wide department, unless you were thinking about The Department of Infrastructure and Transport. They provide a set of standards and guildlines for states and territories, it isn't supposed to be the hard line at the moment.

I thought it was %15

And that was 20 years ago, if they changed it, it would be even less or nothing by now.

lewis in SA make a 2.25l which is %12.5 bigger, still under the %15.

I had a 1600 celica with a 2l but it still said 1600 on the block. how?, 1800 crank and rods with a 3.5mm overbore, and a Yamaha twincam head.

Careful, as the 32 with a 25 was non turbo, and the 26 was a GTR with different brakes etc.

You may have to be real sneaky, but if you get it on paper... sweet.
