Actually, if you want it registered and legal, you really need it to pass over the pits with zero mods. There would be no way to get my engine swap inspected at Regency if it had a different turbo/manifold/injectors/anything. It all has to be stock as stock for the first time. Then they sign the bit of paper that says the engine swap was done in accordance with their requirements and I drive away and make whatever mods I'm willing to do with/without engineering, etc etc. But the engine swap cannot be signed off without the inspection.

Disclaimer - this is South Australia, where some of our rules are much much better than what you eastern staters have to put up with, but some are a bit more work to get the hoops lined up and jumped through.

qld ftw.

Insert RB25 in to R32 GTST.

go to QLD transport.

Me - "Hi, I replaced the engine in my car as it was broken"

them - "Is the new engine from another make or does it have more cylinders or is it a non turbo engine that you have turbo'd"

Me - "no. It's from a newer skyline

them - "ok, we'll just ge the new engine number"

5 minutes later

them - "here is your new rego papers"

Me - *skid out of driveway*

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
