Rb26 Into Gtt Is An Engineer Certificate Needed?


Recommended Posts

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

Name calling doesn't void an argument.

Getting away with something is very different to doing something correctly.

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

    • I think last I checked it was 35cm from fender to wheel center. I heard u can go up to 45-48cm before handling his impacted. But I need to check again. I know I was about 1.2 cm off being close to max recommended. 
    • You'd need to weld on an external gate to achieve that number though. I can't remember seeing anyone make 500hp at the wheels with the stock manifold / internally gated turbo.
    • Suspension Component Question Looking for some feedback based on people's experiences! I know this has been loosely covered in other threads but I can't find any direct answers/experience. I'm up for some bush/rod replacements and was interested in a hybrid approach between hardened rubber and pillowball kit. Why not choose one or the other? Well, this is for my daily driver, which I track once or twice a year. I like a stiff car and a sporty feel but I don't want to compromise the chassis too much with 100% pillowball gadgetry.  I know from experience and a tonne of reading that not all components affect ride quality in the same way - eg. in my case, coilover top mounts should be hardened rubber as pillowball transfers way too many undesirable qualities and doesn't have much more upside than a good hardened rubber. But, pillowball tension rods translate to much better turn-in/steering response and make the car significantly sharper, without negatively impacting ride quality in a significant way.  I'm not TOO bothered by NVH (to a degree). So, with context out of the way, does anyone have any experience with a hybrid approach as mentioned above? I'm going to replace all components over time so am seeking guidance on: - front tension rods - upper camber arms - rear lower control arm - rear traction rod - rear upper camber arm - rear toe adjuster rod  Secondly, is there any reason why this is a bad idea? Or any other info/wisdom that I might not be considering. Cheers 🫶
    • That's good to hear I'll stick with the stock I hear they are good for 500hp and I'm only shooting for 350-400 once I can get this thing sorted and get to actually building it. 
    • The stock one will outperform any aftermarket standard position exhaust manifold. If you don't believe me, do a back to back test (same turbo, same boost, same timing) and you'll be super surprised.
