Hey Guys

I have an rb25/30 in my 33 series 1. It has 850 sards, a gt35r and 45mm external gate (plumbed into exhaust).

I am located in Townsville

Does anyone know someone up here that would give me a mod plate? I'm not ONLY after some dodgy up cash job (although that would be nice). I am happy to go to a business and do it all properly I was just wondering if anyone up this way has gotten mod plates, if so what were they for, how much did it cost and who did you get it/them through? ESPECIALLY after anyone else who has done the twin cam 3L legally.

Cheers

Lukas

Just a bit of info for anyone else who is looking into getting mod plates for their car. I just rang up the engineer and he said that they can easily do rb25/30 here in Queensland. Just have to make sure there is 20mm clearance or hoses etc so there is no rubbing and that the car meets the emissions standard. The engineers do all of the emissions testing in house. The transport department has nothing to do with it. I phoned Queensland transport and the lady on the phone said that they do not do compulsory emissions testing to check your vehicles emissions, it is all up to the engineer who is inspecting the car and issuing the plate/certificate.

I will obviously keep this thread updated with my progress on actually getting my modification plate. I now just need to look into getting a nice new cat to help clean up those exhaust gasses and look into fitting a carbon canister and getting the envirotune :P

On a side not anyone who has a carbon canister with lines preferably that they want to get rid of Im all ears :D

Update on getting my car legal:

I spoke to the tuners today. They said that I should leave on the stock cat, connect up the carbon canister and put in the stock injectors and have a very very mild tune for when I go in for emissions. Dont know how that will go seeing as I have a 45mm wastegate with a 20psi spring. Maybe I could just take out the springs all together :blink:

Does anyone have any other suggestions as for what I should do?

I would love to try bribing but I doubt it will work :down:

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
