you have to upgrade the brakes for a non turbo engine?

It has more power than the stock RB30E or whatever is in it, even if you don't have to, it's probably smart to do it.

I know you have to do it for the turbo, but I'm not sure if its compulsory for the NA, I just assume it is.

I've put slotted rotors and ebc pads in the stockies, guess i'll have to suck it and see

awsome choice of brakes, i will invest when i can afford, just make sure you bleed the line and put in some high temp fluid, you probly allready know but my mate upgraded and hyrolocked cause the fluid boiled and crashed now he knows to compression lock :S

My mate just got his car engineered after putting a forged 4g63 into his lancer sedan... so now its like a GSR mock up.

He didnt upgrade his brakes, and it still passed engineering easy... his car had gone from like 80kw NA engine to like 180kw turbocharged engine...

So its really 'if' you feel like doing it... you dont HAVE to do it like some people say if your only increasing its power by a little bit.

When the rb20det goes in mine, brakes wont be upgraded, because its not needed.

your in SA

you have the idiots at regency to deal with

they don't care about engineers certificates, they consider themselves the foremost experts in the ADR's.

go speak to them to ask if THEY will approve it

Tell me about it, trying to avoid going there.

I spoke to a cop on the phone today and he told me to just go for it and drive the thing. Just go to the rego office and change the engine number over.

you shouldnt even need an engineers certificate... the engine is smaller than the original. its also cleaner and quieter... just get a blue slip done to have the engine number changed.

too easy, good choice of engine!

cheers

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
