Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Whats the go with engineering the emissions in Adelaide rb25/30,custom plenum and power fc. Im about to put 10 Grand in to my r33 motor this year but dont wana go rb25/30 if i cant engeineer anythink.

Iv also been thinking of putting the 10grand into my rb25det(internals only) but still would need to engineer greddy plenum and power fc. Iv also herd that you can have a larger turbo but need to stay in the Emissions range. Iv talk to a few ppl about what im looking at doing but stilll lost so i rang up regency but they said do the work and come down and show us but dont wana wast the money to be told i cant engineer it.

Unfortunately you're pretty much sh1t out of luck.

The way you will want to have it to drive it on the street it WON'T be legal anyway.

Any exhaust you will need to make any kind of power out of the thing won't pass drive by noise regs.

Any aftermarket programmable management is not legal, as it can be adjusted as soon as you leave from the testing.

Spending money on trying to engineer it would better be saved for putting it back to stock if it ever gets defected.

I hate to sound like a wet blanket, but a truly legal modified car is pretty much a pipe dream.

The hole engineering of my car has got me pulling my hair out. The last 2 weeks iv been reading diffrent forums,transport s.a iv talk to the local police and talked to the ppl at regency and none can give me straight answers. Iv just got a hole heap of numbers of engineers in Adelaide that are recognised by transport s.a so im hoping they can give me some straight answers during the week.

With regards to engine changes.

The few vehicle standard blokes I've spoke to have said they can't see a problem with the RB30det as it is essentially just a stroked rb25. Providing no other work is done via camshaft changes etc total power output won't change. Torque will; an increase in torque they don't 'see' as a problem.

Was all very vague but you get that from vehicle standards. :P

Went in a sti wrx stock turbo running 18psi today and shit they fly, but 18psi sounded a bit high for stock turbo tho

Honeypot road didnt seem that long in the sti lol

Mid to low 13sec pass out of a stock car is pretty damn quick. But in saying that the 'old' in comparison r33 gtst with an exhaust, fmic and ecu runs the same times.

Yeah but its something different Dan. :O

Something new/different to play with.

You'll probably get bored eventually and venture back to a gtr though. Couple of nice little mods and 350rwkw.

Then bang there goes third gear. lol

      Honda's hybrid system can be easily scaled up to PHEVs. Series hybrid at low speeds, at higher speeds the engine directly drives the wheels but there can still be some power bled off to charge the battery + the electric motor can still provide parallel assistance too. It's really only a question of will at that point. Toyota's PHEVs are selling incredibly well at the moment because of the flexibility. You can run on EV mode when it makes sense, but if you're planning on doing a long highway drive you can still fire up the gas engine and not have to worry about dealing with the rather miserable state of public charging infrastructure.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Only reason to keep a MAF on your RB25 is to be able to easily calculate true VE if you know what the factory voltage curve represents in grams per second of flow. Also allows you to do things like pull the original OEM ignition + AFR target tables and use those as a starting point for your base map. Once you're well and truly done tuning though there's no need to retain the MAF.

      Very true, if buying new, I would not get an PP either. Minimum is an Elite 2500, which is also considered outdated. Get something that supports DBW, delete that cable throttle. Best thing I've ever done to the Skyline, next best is refreshing the A/C with a new condenser. It's cold, but not as cold as modern car, but colder than most 90s JDM shit boxes imported into Australia.

      Haltech have a nice comparison table between the Elite and Nexus models -  https://www.haltech.com/ecu-buyers-guide/ In general, the Nexus is better. Haltech have some nice product videos on their YouTube page, I'd have a look at those and if you're still not confident what way to go, I'd give them a call. They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I'm sure they'll be able to help you out.
