R32 Driver Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Call DPI mate its either 20 or 25% cc up from stock if its 25 then you only need to fill out a form other wise u may need to get it engineered call up and see what the latest laws are in reguards to it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/218847-rb25-in-my-32/#findComment-3861609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss-zilla Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I thought that if it is anything other than a factory upgrade then it had to go over the pits. (rb25de from gts-x in a r32) This is how i read the papers but if im wrong please correct me as ill be doing a simillar thing.

bubba Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I got a yellow sticker (kind of unrelated..) just after I put the 30 in, went of the pits, they checked engine number, notarised it, and I was on my way with a legal RB30 under the bonnet As long as you don't have a bigass highmount turbo there should be no dramas and I'm pretty sure RB25 falls inside the capacity increasement zone.. with my 50% increase I was afraid they were going to make me get engineering certificates.

R32 Driver Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 engineers cert will solve all your problems even a high mount and external gate Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/218847-rb25-in-my-32/#findComment-3862650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Personally I think it would be easier to get the car registered with the new engine without a high mount etc, then once it's all legal put your high mount on and go for permits/engineering..

bubba Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 R32 Driver said: cheaper to engineer all at once though Point being for certain engine upgrades you won't need engineering. My RB30, even though it's a full litre increase (50%) they didn't deem to need engineering. Most likely because it looked factory and with only an RB25 turbo on there it wasn't insane, similar to stock response but just with a shitload of nuts down low. I believe in taking things in steps instead of rocking up to the pits with a 50% larger engine with a 600hp turbo hanging off the side and then hoping it's going to get engineered and passed. I have the engine installed and licensed, when I go to get it legal after the GT35R goes on then the whole 50% more capacity is a problem I won't have to deal with.

R32 Driver Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) i went from a 3L NA to 3L turbo (2j) they didnt pay any attention to the high mount and just took the engine number and engineering cert i know yours is a 50% increase but as long as they sign it off i dont think it matters much which way goes first other thing is, if you want to save money pass with the rb25 or 30 then legalise it when u get a yellow?

bubba Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) I was planning on doing it all properly but got a sticker like 3 days after the 30 went in so I just had to hope that when I went over the pits they didn't decide to have a baby cow over it Steve, did you get your tailshaft made at Final Drive? when I got mine done, Phil was telling me how he had recently made one for a guy that put a 2jz in his 32..

bubba Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hah yeah, plenty of cars kicking about with that sort of power and a few coming out with a LOT more.. I almost feel like I'm being a pussy shooting for 400rwhp to start with but really, that should be plenty in a rwd 32 platform!

7k R32 PLEASE! Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) You WILL NEED AN ENGINEERS CERT!! the mark up is not 25%. I am current running around with a rb25 that isnt yet ticked off with vic roads as they wont allow it without a cert. I have been to vicroads over 5 times, each time with more evidence that the r32 came out with a rb25. Last 2 times i went they even cought up on it being a rb25de that came with the r32. vicroads people also wont care less if its got a high mount turbo as big as the engine or a stock turbo, thats not why that knock you back. The last chick who looked for the engine number wouldnt have known what a turbo was. i have a high mount and that hasnt been the problem. So far, everytime i have gone, they have somehow noticed the engine size step up when typing on their computers so a message must come up saying it needs an engineers cert. sorry to put a down on your plans but seriously, its not easy getting it passed. im ganna try a few more times at a different vicroads in the hope someone just doesnt pick up on it. Might be easier for you being in W.A but in victoria, it seems im ganna have to fork out like 4G to get this all cleared over Edited May 20, 2008 by 7k R32 PLEASE!

dmr Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 since the RB25DE came out on the R32, i would imagine that the only main thing needed to clear an engineers cert would be bigger brakes. everything else is pretty fit for an RB25DET.

Bubbas living proof that he doesnt need it kermits ceffy also has a rb25 which originally was a rb20 (also in WA) i went from NA to Turbo and strapped on a high mount engineer cert would cost 500$ give or take a hundred depending on what you want engineered emissions testing, db test, brake test would all be under $500 WA has it good? lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/218847-rb25-in-my-32/#findComment-3882965 Share on other sites More sharing options...
