Hi Lads Anyone have or know where i can find the wiring diagram for the dash cluster of a 2003 V35 Skyline? The G35 one is not the same as the V35 Thank you!

Sure thing bro. My mate in QLD will be doing the swap. His done it to his own car up there but they dont have to deal with engineering. Just Mod Plates and you're good. This is twin turbo LS swap

Hahahaha, thanks for the encouraging words mate. I did a fair bit of research online and asked around before i jumped into this. The whole swap if registered successfully, will definitely be unique. One of a kind in NSW 😉. A to Z do all testing in house. They use the dyno method to test emissions. Even if it fails, they will know what needs to be done, to pass it. Also they're based in QLD, so they dont seem too expensive or "strict" like the lot back here in Shitney 🤣 I would have gone RB or 2JZ swap but the engines are older than the chassis, therefore harder to engineer. I am essentially putting a newer engine into an older car with the L76. Once engineering is done and i have paperwork in hand then nobody needs to know if the car gets cammed or something 😉😉🤣🤣🤣

Thanks bro!

Bought the newest Euro 6 Cats for the build. According to what I've read, i need to pass the emissions standards of the year of my car's manufacture date,which is 2003. My car came with Euro 3 standard cats. The L76 engine came with Euro 4 cats. So my cats are solid. Yes ill be using the Calais stock ECU with a custom wiring loom from the states, to ensure all the stock gauges etc work. Will be doing the swap and an "emissions friendly" tune before i do engineering. Engineer will be consulted before i do any mods. Engineering at A to Z motorsports will cost $900-$2100 max, according to them. I've set aside $2500 for this. If it exceeds this amount, am f'ed 🤣💵

If the Blue Slip is an easy enough thing to get, then am not too bothered about it now. I'd like to have a fair idea of whats required so i can make plans to get them done, and have the paperwork ready. If i can save 30mins of my time and $40 in the process, then why not lol. According to what i've read, the hardest thing to pass with engineering is emissions. That's what everyone fails at least once. Most engineers say if its a straight engine/tranny/diff sway from one car to another, then its not too hard to certify (which mine is). Getting bigger brakes is another thing, which my car already has. A to Z imports will be handling all the Engineering and Emissions stuff - https://www.atozimports.com.au/ Also this is what service NSW says about registering a modified vehicle

Putting a 6.0l LY76 from a newer 2009 VE Calais into a 2003 Nissan Skyline V35, which came with a 3.5L VQ35DE. Engineer says its doable and can be engineered provided it passes emissions and brake tests etc. That's all the contact I've had with him Would I still need a blue slip if its engineered? Wont an engineers cert be a more through inspection, compared to a blue slip?

https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/change-vehicles-engine-details According to them, only need a Engineers Certificate or Blue slip. So since i will be getting engineers cert, wont need the Blue Slip aye?

That's what my understanding is as well. As mentioned before, Service NSW says that to update the rego i need either a Vehicle Compliance Certificate (if applicable) aka Engineers Cert, AUVIS (unregistered vehicle inspection report) or a HVAIS (heavy vehicle unregistered vehicle inspection report and heavy vehicle safety check inspection report). I will get it engineered either way, so my understanding is, in terms of documentation, I just need an Engineers Report, a filled Change of records form and fees to "re-register" it. Car is still registered so technically its just a change or records aye? And if it goes out of rego, according to their website ill need either one of those three things mentioned above to register it?

Currently registered. Engine bought, swapping to commence soon. I am the owner.

Hey guys! Does anyone know the process of registering an engine swapped car in NSW? Provided the engine swap and all mods have been fully certified and I have an engineers certificate, what are the next steps to follow, to register the car? A quick google search says to change the engine details of my car with Service NSW?, i need the following - your proof of identity your current registration details one of the following: a Vehicle Compliance Certificate (if applicable) AUVIS (unregistered vehicle inspection report) HVAIS (heavy vehicle unregistered vehicle inspection report and heavy vehicle safety check inspection report) the PDF form – 'Change of Records'. Does anyone have experience doing this? Are these the proper steps to follow? Just take the documents and head into Service NSW? Any ideas on fees associated with the process? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ohh that's good advice man. Like a 100 cell or something aye?

Ahhh gotcha. Yep no silly things like dark tints, slammed to the ground, overly loud exhaust, driving like a dumb flamin mongrel etc aye 🤣🤣. Just try to look and drive as "stock" as possible 😉🤣🤣

And then once you pass emissions, get a custom straight pipe done aye? 🤣 Once you get the engineers, its just doing pink slips yearly and rego? No more dramas yeah?

Would putting on a bunch of catalytic converters lower emissions? Say for example you have 4 cats on your exhaust, instead of the usual 2
