Ive bought a 33 gtr vsepc in sydney and am bringing it up to townsville once Hills Motorsport get me my magic numbers at the wheels. I was wondering if anyone here in townsville knows of any "modification friendly" transport approval stations that are a bit more lenient when issuing safety certs????

Dont know about townsville but I just got a little Blue Slip from a guy in the phone book. It cost me an extra 80 $ for him to approve it without the VIN number attached to the car and no cluth or brakes to speak of. * I had just had the car painted and its brakes and Clutch will be done on monday :(

In QLD, most approved inspections stations are located in petrol garages,

And if your looking for lenient AIS, you might get away with getting a road worthy, but are the cops goin to be as lenient when ya get pulled over??

And defects are from $75

Then if its a major defect you'll have to take ya car in to be put under the pits at qld transport, to make sure it is roadworthy, and inspection and booking fee is around 75 bucks as well i think.

    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.  
    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
