Hey guys,

I'm going to be doing an engine transfer soon and i have a few questions regarding sa rego.

Firstly i am transfering it from an RB25DE to an RB25DET. I get the same engine plate and compliance plate with the engine im putting in. So what should i do? Is there a way to declare this with Motoreg? and no engine plate transfer is required or will i need to go to regency and get it checked? is there a person who re-stamps engine plates and i can get away with it?

It's not a problem for me to go to Regency but i would rather get a way out which would be easier seeing that i have all the resources available.

Cheers

all Club Members should of received a copy of the Club Constitution here are just a couple of clauses for your perusal

now I'm hoping most of the plate swapping talk was said tongue in cheek but it has to be taken very seriously as its a prosecutable offense and could bring the club into disrepute

28.11 All members shall abide by the constitution and decisions made by the committee of the club.

30.3 A member may be expelled from the club in accordance with the disciplinary rules of the club.

30.4 Membership shall be forfeited through:

1. Misappropriation of club property or funds

2. For any act which is deemed detrimental to the reputation of the club

3. Contravening any section of the constitution or decisions of the club

4. At the committees discretion upon a review of their performance.

30.5 No refund of fees or donations to the club shall be given out if a member resigns or is expelled from the club.

30.6 Any person forfeiting membership must return the club property and club card in seven (7) days.

31.0 MISCONDUCT

31.1 Any member of the club may be disciplined, suspended or expelled by the Committee.

if any member hasn't received a copy of the Constitution speak up and one of the Committee Members will see to it your revive an email

Not only is it illegal, it's stupid. If you get caught, nice knowing you. If you don't have the money to stuff around and go to Regency, perhaps you should reassess your choice of vehicle. Also posting up on here about plate swapping is not the smartest of moves. These forums are monitored

Yeah, what the guys are saying is that the police do monitor these forums. Now you're talking about plate swapping (which you know by now is illegal) and the cops can easily see you are a club member. As your club executives, we have to say to you that its illegal and that would look bad for the club. We are afterall trying to demonstrate to the police and Joe Public that we are responsible import owners.

Nothing wrong with doing the conversion to turbo. Just swap the engines, and other suitable hardware (brakes etc) and then take the car thru Regency without the plate swapping. Plate swapping = very bad :)

:D

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
