Hello everyone. I'm new and sorry if this has been covered but I did spend all yesterday arvo going through google. Any information I did find was quite old.

I'm trying to find out the current laws for putting a RB30DETT into a later model GTR, in Victoria.

Is it just the emissions I need to worry about? If so then it won't be hard for my situation. Or is there more to it with the age difference of motors or what?

I'd really like to hear from people that have actually done this in Victoria.

What do you mean by the section in red below? Do you have access to the right machine to do an ADR approved emmissions test? It's not as easy as whacking a Lambda probe in the exhaust.

Love to know if there is a way to avoid the $4000 test that needs to be carried out however.

Well because I was going to build the 26/30 and retain everything else stock. Running on E85 I couldn't see why it wouldn't pass emissions. Then when rego'd and ok I was gonna work with a engineer as I mod it.

I wasn't gonna do something dodgy/avoid 4 grand test. Just having a new slate to start with means I can go down the right road first time.

you could have a go at just swapping it over / then getting the car registered with the 'new' engine number, worked for several people I know, just that when it comes time to sell / re register the car, have another motor ready to swap over. Pain in the arse, but better than having to fork out 4k for a full emissions test that you might fail anyway....

So are you answering my question with Yes its legal to do, but need full emissions test?

I guarantee I will pass it. I'm literally increasing capacity by .4lt, running cleaner burning e85 and will wack a euro3 cat on.

This will be a long long term project. My final one as I'm in my mid 20's now.

I have been talking with Rob from RIPs about my motor.. and I'm also really trying to get the Billet RB30's started from Bullet Cylinder Heads. If I can get another 2 people to make a down payment of 5k each they will start production on them.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
