Hi everyone

I have recently been planning up a project. I am thinking of building a r32gts, or a s14 with a RB30DET.

Before i jump into it and spend money, I am interested to know if there is any troubles with registering and engineering the RB30 in a 32 or s14. I hear that you cannot put a motor in a car if it was manufactured before the car was. This is probably false because plenty of people are running this conversion on SAU.

So could anyone please give me some information on what the regulations are for doing this build if it is possible at all. I am going to see a engineer shortly about the build, but i am just interested in doing abit of light research before hand.

Thanks.

Dude, use the search feature, this has been covered countless times.:)

Yes - please search.

As you are NSW - the thread by "Guilt-Toy" will answer ALL your questions.

There is also another thread in this section separate to it (with similar information).

If you just put in "engineer" and similar words, should take 5mins to find it - they are long and detailed threads

Cheers

    • Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.
    • This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.
    • I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
