Yellow Sticker Update

[luvpsi]

hey guys as your probably remember few months back i got a yellow on my vlrb25det

well here is the update

vehicle went for first inspection and a few minor things were picked up however i was still asked to fill out and send off a application to modify vehicle and given a 30day extension. car went over pits again yesterday and all minor things passed. i just have to wait to hear back from dpi for my approval. vehicle was extended 2 months at this stage due to it can take up to 3 months for dpi to approve changes.

just thought i would keep you all informed as many people keep asking me for updates.

the moral to this story if your going to do a engine conversion just remember to to do it properly or you will get stung

Lucky you, a couple of years ago while I was waiting for my permits I had to pay for about 3 different inspections (that all passed, but had to wait for permits) that gave me 3 weeks maximum. Took about 4 months before I got approved

Yeh, when I had to go over the pits they wouldn't give me that extension. I had to get an accelerator pedal from Nissan which was going to take 4 weeks. I had to pay for the initial inspection (failed), then they said they could only give me a 2 week extension because the original sticker was for 3 weeks, so waited the 2 weeks then had to go back for another inspection (failed), this time they would only give me 1 more week, so waited that week, then had to go back for another inspection to get another week long extension, then the pedal arrived so I had to go back for a final inspection.

Only thing they wouldn't pass me on was my metal accelerator pedal. Yet I had to keep going back knowing my car was going to fail. They made a lot of money out of me Sounds like they've sorted that bullshit out.

yeah they dont seem to be so harsh they didnt even notice i have a guttered cat and aftermarket ecu

[Hanaldo]

Well it will still have to be inspected by the engineer. My mate registered his R31 with RB25DET in it and had to do an emissions test, so be careful of that.

if thats the case i have a stock cat back sitting at home

IM240 testing is long gone, and Kostecki's has shut down.

Refer to Antilag for more details.

[Hanaldo]

Yeh but they still do 5 gas.

[luvpsi]

5 gas test is a complete different test to the IM240 you can get it done at many different workshops

[Hanaldo]

Very aware of what both tests are lol. By 'they', I was referring to the DPI.

uh, you should have just filled in an engine change form, u went from a 3ltr to a 2.5ltr. turbo etc who cares.

took me 3-4months to go thru pits when im240 was still in place i just kept putting stock pieces on eventually got a top bloke who just changed my engine number over and took sticker off -for my 25det conversion not my 30det

[luvpsi]

problem is the vl was not a turbo but i have converted it into a turbo thats what i was going to do but they wouldnt let me oh well at least i will now have permits
