Hi

I am looking at importing an early model GTR which apparently has a later model RB26 engine in it

My question is will this later model engine cause issues when the car undergoes compliance and registration procedures in Victoria?

Also if the car has an after market front mount intercooler and standard air box, will that pass compliance or will the intercooler need to be reverted back to standard?

For registration in Victoria, the after market intercooler and standard air box would pass roadworthy standards if I am not mistaken?

I just don't want any surprises when the car arrives

Thanks in advance

questions like that need to be asked of the workshop who is complying the car. I might say, "sure, I don't have a problem with an aftermarket cooler, as it's in the factory location and a direct replacement" but then another guy may say "all parts must be standard, no exceptions". same with the engine. don't ask anonymous people on a forum, ask vicroads, as dotars, ask your compliance workshop. my feeling based on my experience is it won't cause any problem at all. but what if I'm wrong?

Doesn't sound like too big of an issue.

If you don't have a compliance workshop already, give us a call (ask for Jon).

cheers,

No worries

I went through Jon last time with my R32 so I might give him a call once I have a few more details on the car

Thanks
