Hello everyone. I'm new and sorry if this has been covered but I did spend all yesterday arvo going through google. Any information I did find was quite old.

I'm trying to find out the current laws for putting a RB30DETT into a later model GTR, in Victoria.

Is it just the emissions I need to worry about? If so then it won't be hard for my situation. Or is there more to it with the age difference of motors or what?

I'd really like to hear from people that have actually done this in Victoria.

What do you mean by the section in red below? Do you have access to the right machine to do an ADR approved emmissions test? It's not as easy as whacking a Lambda probe in the exhaust.

Love to know if there is a way to avoid the $4000 test that needs to be carried out however.

Well because I was going to build the 26/30 and retain everything else stock. Running on E85 I couldn't see why it wouldn't pass emissions. Then when rego'd and ok I was gonna work with a engineer as I mod it.

I wasn't gonna do something dodgy/avoid 4 grand test. Just having a new slate to start with means I can go down the right road first time.

you could have a go at just swapping it over / then getting the car registered with the 'new' engine number, worked for several people I know, just that when it comes time to sell / re register the car, have another motor ready to swap over. Pain in the arse, but better than having to fork out 4k for a full emissions test that you might fail anyway....

So are you answering my question with Yes its legal to do, but need full emissions test?

I guarantee I will pass it. I'm literally increasing capacity by .4lt, running cleaner burning e85 and will wack a euro3 cat on.

This will be a long long term project. My final one as I'm in my mid 20's now.

I have been talking with Rob from RIPs about my motor.. and I'm also really trying to get the Billet RB30's started from Bullet Cylinder Heads. If I can get another 2 people to make a down payment of 5k each they will start production on them.

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
