thought this would be the most suitable place to ask it seeing that its qld section, tossing up putting an rb30et or det, into my new shell, (1989 silvia) would like to know is it actually legal to do this conversion in qld seeing as 99% of rb30s came from earlier model cars and the rules are that the motor must be newer then the make of the car correct? people ive asked have given me answer like buy a rb30 block from nissan or wreckers etc. and stamp rb20 numbers on it but i want to steer clear of this option,

any help would be much appreciated

I think legally you are allowed up to a 3ltr though I could be wrong, best to check out the modification laws on the Qld Gov site dude. It should have details of what size a car brought out with a 1.8 is allowed to have. It's either a 3lt or 2.5lt.

you can also long as the power output isnt higher then 20% of the original engine.....so to be sure then check specs from factory of your current engine to what you want to put in. if its greater then 20% then its illegal....but it shouldnt be....but if you mod it to have 250hp+ then it is illegal..but if you have that and more from your factory size engine...it isnt.

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
