R32 With Rb25, Getting It Past A Regency Inspection.

[Rolls]

I'm looking at purchasing an R32 skyline with an RB25DET in it from VIC, now the car is registered but only with the RB20DET so when I get it inspected at sturt it will obviously fail the numbers check. What would I need to change to get it through a regency inspection?

I know it needs R33 brakes. The car currently has a aftermarket fuel reg, pod, fmic, high flow turbo, exhaust, wold 3D ecu, vented catch can, rims and suspension.

Now the owner has said he can supply the original ecu, afm, stock cooler and piping and wheels. I can get an exhaust that is stock off a mate to put on it. How many of these things would need to be changed to get it past? I was planning on changing them all minus the fuel reg, however I'd rather not change the ECU unless its necessary, as it would be dangerous to run the motor with a stock map.

Also how much would the change of rego cost? Is it much on top of the standard transferral fees ?

It'll have to be completely standard, all the factory emission stuff has to be in place and it'll have an idle CO2 and hydrocarbon test as well, which it will pass with the facotry ECU in place.

It should be just an inspection though and no engineering will be required.

I'm getting all the parts togetther to do a RB25 conversion on a 180sx so if you need some of the factory stuff then i have pretty much everything provided your 25 is a series II.

EDIT! (now that i've actually read your post)

You will need to remove the FPR and you will need to put the standard ECU in (infact when you produce the car to be inspected you have to allow the easy access to the ECU I.e. remove the kick pannel). It would be a good idea to find a factory turbo and fit that as well.

Sounding like a bit too much of a hassle, think I will keep looking for something local.

if your really keen you can run a high flow turbo @ factory boost on factory ECU and do no damage and will prolly pull simulat CO2 emissions as factory turbo

or buy Adrians his is 32 with 25 and local

Hey i am facing a scenario almost the same - I am thinking of buying a 32 with RB25 in it from Victoria and i am in Adelaide. The guy i am thinking about buying it from in Vic put the RB25 in and spoke with Vic Roads and told them his original engine blew up but here is the new engine number and it has now passed his rwc and is registered with that engine number. They were not educated of the fact it was a different capacity engine but it is still registered with the RB25 engine number. I want to know what would happen if i tried to register it here? -Apparently they apply system notes as to new engine numbers and stuff so i am concerned they might pick up on this?

Probably will get through with a numbers check as they will match up, however if you get a cluey officer and they notice that it is the bigger motor they may send you to regency, I'd say its a bit of a gamble, but not too much of one.

Worst case you have to upgrade the brakes and get the car inspected, something you should be doing anyway. If the car is ridiculously modded I would think twice however.
