Rb20det Into R33

[lukew105]

Hey guys.. i know there should be no problem with doing this however isnt there a certain power to weight ratio that must be abided by for imports?

if anyone can shed some light on this topic would be good cheers

why an rb20 in a 33?? "thats like slapping god in the face"

[dmr]

sure. i'll swap you my rb20 for your rb25

[lukew105]

Cool cool thats great

I just want to know if its legal

i have a 33 shell i want to get on the road and i have left over parts from my 32.. so is it legal? i

[Dingus]

Don't know about in your state, but in WA the block cannot be older than the chassis, so unless its a s1 r33 shell, and a really late rb20, then no, it's not legal.

[lukew105]

thats the general concensus im getting

[dnbutts]

seriously doubt it,

in SA you can wave goodbye to your car if the cops catch you with that!

are you sure they wouldnt just laugh their asses of and walk away shaking their head?

i doubt they would know the difference....

ive had police accusing me of a venting valve when it is stock and NOT venting. after 3 professional opinions, me telling them their nuckle heads, i was let off when the 4th came along.

know what thats like, sent 2 regency for having a bov when clearly didnt even have 1 and cop couldnt point it out himself "i know what i heard, its hidden here somewhere".

system is awesome

Legally - probably not as the motor is older than the manfactured date of the car

I think its a ADR requirement, not a local one

I think that when the block is older than the chassis then it must meet emmision standards for the chassis and not the motor....must like when you put a newer motor in an older car the emissions must meet the year model of the motor.

So you will have to have an emissions check done and certified.

Dont quote me as this might have changed since i last looked at doing it (1jz into a HQ)
