Just got myself a few defect notice's on my car and was wondering about one of them. I was told that the engine (RB25DET) is not legal in my car (180sx) which I'm pretty sure it is??

The cop told me that I need to get the modification papers which go along with my mod plate to prove this. Also that the car needed to be under the original tare weight???

Can anyone help me out here?

in wa you do not need a engineers cert if you do not exceed a certain capacity increase , i think its 33% from memory but i will check with my friend with a mII ford capri with rb30et

it still has to go over the pits for roadworthy and have numbers changed but no engineers cert

your in vic nis , thats like the nth korea of australia .farting in your car is an epa offence there

The National Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Construction and Modification (NCOP) is being pushed Australia wide and WA is using it as a structure for all mods, IM240 comes out soon here as well for all modified cars that fall under the rulings.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
