and gts-boy when i went into Vicroads and asked to update the engine number i didn't "tell them it came out in that chassis"

i asked can my records be updated with the 26 that i put in it as i couldn't find a decent 25 and they said that is fine :cheers:

Smart comeback.

It's all a bit moot in the context of the OP's RB26 anyway, seeing as it is "fully built engine making 490rwkw" - meaning that it won't even be close to legal in Victoria anyway, engineering required or not. Especially if not.

As Ben said, "Boost off into the sunset . Suckers!"

You guys seem really keen to avoid getting your cars "engineered". How much does it cost? My car is non standard in at least 10 significant ways but "low volume certification" done by an approved engineer cost me $550 which is pretty standard (it does vary a bit but not much).

I fairly sure all the " authorities " would have is Nissan as the make, R34 Skyline as the model and GT/GT-t/GTR as the variants, they most certainly wouldn't have all the chassis differences listed nor care about them, as far as they are concerned they are the same chassis and that is what matters, its not about cheating them and not some big conspiracy

IIRC in NSW you are allowed to go either 15 or 20% bigger in capacity providing the engine is from the same family, ie RB for RB and SR for SR etc

All I was objecting to was the idea of telling them "It came out in this chassis" which is an outright lie. I don't care what the f**k else you clowns think you can get away with.

now you've resorted to petty name calling, which obviously means your argument isn't valid and that what we have been trying to explain to the original poster, is that what he wants to do is perfectly fine in the eyes of the people who actually matter

Which is true but he is arguing a point he doesn't know 100%, now the OP has gone to his local governing body and asked the question to someone that works there and got his response and for all GTSboy knows the guy that works they know his job and gave the correct answer, so who does OP believe, the person that works at Vic Roads and someone on a forum from a different state

As for his argument its a different chassis, its concidered an R chassis, and to the best of my knowledge there isn't an R chassis 1, an R chassis 2 or an R chassis 3, they are all considered an R chassis and the differences in the build codes are to dictate what that R chassis got like a 2.5 or 2.6, 2WD or 4WD etc, but still all the same chassis code no matter what little differences there actually are

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work. 
    • Potentially some interesting data for some of you here; Hank Iroz from Iroz Motorsport testing a new Xona Rotor 5964S on a Audi RS3 2.5L DAZA motor. https://facebook.com/share/p/14EU18MyDqZ/ Cliff Notes: Turbo has the new Xona XRE compressor aero with an X4C compressor cover, reportedly 0.64 rear housing. 900whp (670kw) @ 37psi, 170k shaft speed, motor is making 2bar (29psi) boost by roughly 3800rpm, 500lbft (670nm) torque by 3500rpm. They overlaid a stock RS3 on USA 91 fuel (red), and a "Stage 2" RS3 on E85 (yellow), and this 5964S (blue) - the 5964S isn't losing any ground to either. Apparently out-flowing their prior tests with a Xona 8264S (green), and this 5964S (white) also has a smaller A/R than that did.
