how many of you drive rb25 r32's?

[Phantom32]

just a quick question, I was wondering how many of you guys in vic drive RB25 powered r32's?

Have you guys ever had a cop pick it out, and if yes, what do they say?

[Sarumatix]

Drive an RB26 GTS4.. no cops have noticed anything yet. I think that having a stock exterior is a great start to not turning every (policemans) head .

[sno33]

i have a rb26 33 gtst, and cops cant tell the difference..

[foznice]

I think that this depends on what part of melbourne your talking about. Stay out of knox. One memeber from here was from WA with his WA registered car and WA license, mr TMU pulls him over and immideatly recognises that his 32gtst has an RB25 inside. The driver copped a red sticker because he had P plates and was over the power/weight ratio

We all know the RB25 is the improved version of the RB20 so relax roy

The person who copped it was me. I had a R32 with a RB25DET.

The car was WA regoed and all, but they still recognised it and checked the engine block number and did me for no engineering.

I wouldnt do it, you cant fool them. If ur prepared to fork out a couple of grand go ahead and get the thing engineered. They will still **** u over in some way though with conversions.

[Phantom32]

hey starion, sorry to hear you got raped by the cops.

Wat changes did u have to make to your car for the engineering certificate? Once you've got the certificate its all good isn't it?

[Roy]

He sold it:(

[predator]

I still don't know what the big deal with the crack down on engineering at the moment.. how many accidents have taken place where the cause of the car has been anything other than driver error in a modified car?

oh hum

[R31Nismoid]

If you have insurance, full comp.

And your car is butchered. If they check... bye bye insurance

Also, if you get canaried at any stage. A normal RWC place will check it.

If it dont match they wont pass you for a RWC and then you'll never get it engineered in time

[Phantom32]

do engineers certificate and RWC go hand in had, like, if i get the engineers thing done, does that give me a RWC too?

Sorry if its a dumb question, had to ask....

[R32Big_boy]

Nope, you have to get both. My friend just finished his twin turbo corona and he's had to get an engineers and roadworthy.

I have *heard* that RB20, RB25 and RB26 cam covers are interchangable... so you might want to find yourself a nice set of second hand RB20 cam covers with a nice big "RB20" on the timing belt cover save the hassles. I would imagine they wouldn't bother checking the engine number if it had a RB20 cam cover.

[R32Big_boy]

Yeah, but how starionturbo was spotted was the plenum. well thats what he said in his post. The officer spotted it stright away eventhough he had the cam cover on and the big RB20 on the front.

[dojobi]

The RB20/26 covers wouldn't fit on the RB25 unless you removed the VVT, which is half the appeal of the 25 to me (the extra 0.5L doesn't hurt either).

I was actually just thinking that there was an extra lump on the RB25 timing cover on the inlet side when I wrote that... LOL

But you could go the exposed cam wheel look with RB20 covers and an ECCS sticker on the plenum... sorted

Crap! just read that too! oops.

Are the plenums THAT different looking from the top?

haha yeah, I actually ran the exposed cam wheel for a while. It's a good look

BTW That cop sure must have known his engines if he picked it from the plenum. I'd be fooled by the ECCS sticker
