not sure if im wrong but the intercooler isnt excatly something you'd need to get engineered unless if its one of those V mounts or the top mount intercoolers like those on WRXs

Or if they had to cut anything to fit it.

FMIC is legal on any car that came with an intercooler somewhere on the front from factory (side-mount on Skyrines count as "front") providing neither the reo bar nor any part of the chassis have been modified to fit it. This includes cutting a hole below your wiper-washer/radiator overflow reservoirs for the return pipe.

RTA will still defect you for a front mount even if it's legally fitted as per the above^^ They're useless cunts who don't even know the rules and regulations they're supposed to be working with as per the ADR...not until you go in there and draw on their ADR spec book showing them they're wrong.

Its a long read but.......

See my reo plates fo the pipes?

Up to regulation specs, just not on an engineers cert.

I have MANY mods, but knowing the adr means i can make most of them comply.

:D

Mine went over dickson yesterday, got done for height dispite the car passing for the same height in NSW and I've been over the pits before at that height and it was never an issue

How many "nice white R33's" though? hahaha

Dickson is kind of like a "falvour of the month" thing - they hit hard on people with height and then next time it'll be book manuels then glass.

Booked in for Thursday for a "Full Inspection". I skipped the re-assesment in hope when they see my child restraints they will just tick the box instead of telling me to install and supply engineer cert.

Everything on Rosie is stock bar the Intercooler which I am told is complied (No adjustment / cutting was requried). Fingers crossed.

I'd have thought that if they didn't advise you of the certificate when they pointed out the lack of restraints, they wouldn't then tell you to have it engineered when you returned with restraints fitted :P

Though now you're running the risk that burnt me - when you take it back this time, they can (and probably will, coz they're f**kheads) pick up on things they didn't pick up on last time. Like window tint and child restraints in my example.

Either way, good luck brooooo :)

Haha thanks Princess - I was told to get an Engineers Cert for the child restraints. Window tint is legal and that's something I'd argue (since I know the law around that one). There are a few things I am certain of. I'm thinking about taking a brake light out and putting it back in so they have something to ping me on LOL

Struth!! reverse psychology at it's best ..

Good luck mate.

And now I strongly recommend spending all your time looking for someone who does dodgy roadworthy certificates to save spending a f**kload on an engineer's certificate when you've got nothing modified to even justify it.

Well, I need to go through Dickson who supply the RWC right? Given Interstate etc.

You're supposed to take it through Dickson because it's an import - interstate has nothing to do with it (at least not recently).

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
