i believe anything which effects the emissions of the car is deemed as unroadworthy?

where you might also be in trouble is how the i/c kit is installed. if you start drilling big holes into the chassis, you're effecting the structural rigidity of the car which is then deemed unroadworthy.

ba.. so that is why everybody has their cars registered in VIC with nice FMIC and no problems whatsoever.. EPA is same, the tester actually said to me "one intake mod is ok, and you've got the big FMIC so that is fine". They don't care about engineers for just an intercooler down here..

Its different rules for each state, and i haven't heard it ever enforced in VIC.

      Do you plan on using 98 or e85?

      This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.

      For something a little more serious, Davinci Resolve is about the best there is for free video editors. No expiration dates or watermarks, completely free.

      Well, it's taken me until the last week of 2024 to actually do something on the Skyline but I consider it a good head start to 2025's efforts! I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that... I need to decide which of the factory suspension arms I will keep and replace so I only get what I'm keeping powdercoated.  Baby steps but it's a start!
