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.

      WTB noltec r32 front upper (camber) arms

      By Matvei27 · Posted

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!

      Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p

      Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
