Go and read my post.

The car is BUILD PLATED as TURBO.

- You cannot put a RB30E into a R32 and be legal if my recollection of laws is correct (I'm usually pretty on the money), meaning RB20E and RB25DE are your choices etc. You cannot put an older motor, into a newer chassis.

- You need to RE-ENGINEER it, that is not free to begin with. They might also emissions test you, again not free.

It's not a simple case of "motor out, motor in - I've beaten the system".

It might pay you to investigate the laws before getting wild ideas.

i work in the industry and know an engineer, i can get most things done cheap.

like ive said its still just an idea its not a solid plan as of yet. im still trying to sell the car. this is only an idea for if the car doesnt sell and i decide to keep it

Was that the only civil war? You didn't specify

Next thing you will claim your horses actually made 1.5hp

I didn't specify, just saying that there were no tanks in the Civil War re enactments that I take part in.

As far as horses making 1.5 HP it is very possible. I mean we all know horses have power-bands, like any engine. You know how when you ride a horse and when you squeeze your boots into it and it goes from a trot to a canter to a sprint and you feel the increase in torque, they called that the "boots" but somewhere along the line it was misread as "boost", so the term boost that we all know so well actually comes from the good old days when we all used horses to get around.

Anyway, back to the HP discussion. Unlike today, when you had your horse dynoed (attached to a rope which went through a sheave 90 degrees to a load hanging vertical) they used an average power figure as opposed to a peak power figure we use today. So to say a horse has 1 HP is just an average figure, in fact many horses had anywhere up to 1.8HP peak power.

yeah im aware of that, its not my biggest worry

Well it should be because you might as well leave the RB20DET in there. You are illegal regardless.

At least when you get defected, realise it was a dumb idea to buy the turbo...

You'll actually be able to sell it. As opposed to with a RB30E, illegal motor, car is now not worth a cent.

if i put an n/a motor in the car the plan will be to keep it! so im not worried about the value. why be so f**king hostile for

I dont think he understands the english :(

use your f**king head. its a completely different kind of illegal, if i get caught driving turbo i instantly lose my licence. if i get caught driving a car with an illegal motor in it they defect the car, i keep my licence.. which one would u rather!!???

If you drag your engineer into it and he writes a blue plate for a car that is not legally allowed to be blue plated, he will lose his licence. And he will be aware of this....and not write the plate, therefore you won't be able to get it engineered and when you get pulled over, instead of being fined for driving a turbo car on your P's, you'll have the car removed from the road permanently and get a fine for driving an illegally modified car.

Something to consider if you are thinking of doing it still

Because you see unable to comprehend basic logic?

Let me try, once more - to help you out.

RB20DET - Illegal

RB30E - Illegal

Why f**k around, putting a RB30E into the R32 if its illegal?

It's time, effort, money - and you are no better off. You have a car that is worth less, is slower and is in no way anymore "legal"

Tell me you speaka da englese ?

I'd rather buy a VL and be done with it

The car is build plated as turbo

If you really do "work in the industry", you'd realise that regardless of what motor - all the officer has to do is look at the REGO STICKER.

It's a TURBO VEHICLE regardless of whether there is actually a turbo in the engine bay. The Police don't care.

You could take it to court, then try explain why you have a illegal motor in the car.

I bet that'll go down brilliantly, so make sure you let me know if it does. I'll fly up just to sit there and listen in.

both you guys are f**ked i swear to god if yous wanna be f**kwits gimme a call and lets have a chat you obviously arent listening to a thing im even trying to say.

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
