Evening guys!

I am in the process of getting my R31 Turbo engineered. I have spoken to the local engineer about mod plating the turbo setup and have been told I need to take the car to NSW/QLD to be emissions tested for it to be mod plated as no one in Tasmania has the equipment required to test the vehicle. This would end up costing me around 5 grand in shipping alone and I have heard that the testing is VERY costly, with no guarantee that the car will meet the emissions requirement. The engineer has told me I have 3 options: 

- Get the car emissions tested 

- Find someone with the same setup who has engineered a 31 

- convert it to VLT kit as it's a popular conversion that has been engineered plenty of times before. 

I have had a look at VL Turbo gear and the prices are crazy for what's essentially just being put on the car and then being taken straight back off as soon as I get the blue plate, this would be cheaper than getting it engineered but still pricey. 

So, I have come to ask, has anyone mod plated their RB30E with an E6X haltech, 750cc injectors and a 3582 turbo? If someone on here knows of someone who has could you please reply to the post? It would save me pulling the loom and the hot side out of the car haha. 

Thanks for taking the time to read the post, much appreciated. 

 

 

For those interested in the build, Here is the wheel with the horn button and some trim pieces back in, the gauges will be replaced with a cubby and single din in favour of a Defi display. I have ordered GKtech tie rod ends, new bushings and ball joints to put 31 LCA's back in the car to make it less drifter like. The car will have it's screamer plumbed up with a muffler put on it next.
