Some Questions About The Pits

[pro-drifter14]

hey guys was just wanting to know some stuff before heading over the pits

Well my cars pritty factory except for a few things witch i need help with

Car is running a Rb30det but it has a top mount turbo setup instead of a standard setup i was just wondering if this is legal or not its pritty close to the bonnet, also has adjustibles and foward faceing plenum will any of this effect my car passing

Would appretiate any Info guys

Cheers

really comes down to the inspector you get

some say you need a engineering cert some arent fazed

ive passed with a high mounted Supra before but i had engineering cert

and the inspector really just have it a quick once over

Bubba's also had success passing with his rb30 in his r32 (but that as on a standard setup)

best thing is just pay the $83 and see what they want you to change

Ok sweet as any idea were i could optain an engineers cert from? im asumeing that fibreclass kits are a no go

[NA_Goodness]

Fibreglass kits are fine as long as they arent too low and they're secured properly.

Ossie21 has passed the pits with a highmount, with permits. Might be worth asking him?

[pro-drifter14]

sweet

I believe ossie had to get his car engineered.

TBH, the highmount will cause dramas. I have done mine in phases, Phase.1 was get the RB30 in, running and licensed - I think the fact that it looked stock under the bonnet and the fact that power delivery wasn't huge turboish, helped. Phase.2 is highmount turbo and I'll cross the licensing bridge when I get to it.

O true well the motor is already in and running looks stock as a rock besides the foward faceing plenum and high mount,, its a bit hard to hook up a standad setup without water lines any more lol, ived used all the rb20 cam and rocker covers so sould be sweet,, if not i will just have to buy a Standard Rb20det just to get over the pits

[bubba]

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of trying to get the 30 licensed?

Or is the car not currently licensed at all?

[pro-drifter14]

the car was licenced but i let the rego laps, not to worried about getting the 30 complied as cant tell from the naked eye, unless you know your skylines real well so police shouldind be botherd, i just want to make it over the pits so i can get new rego

I just been over dude

Go to Whelspool they do a qick check dont even look at ur engine just ur vin plate if all is same and done you will get over

[Flash89]

that didnt go down with me, he told me i got a leathal weapon cause of the twin turbos. my 26 is all standard but its just all painted so first impression is looks like there is soo much work done to it.

[bubba]

They checked my ENGINE NUMBER, I didn't even tell them it had a new, bigger engine.

Really, it defeats the purpose to deceive the inspector. Get it licensed properly.

[pro-drifter14]
