mr Eps, I assume you don't live in melbourne, where you have your car inspected only once and never again for as long as its in your name, unless the police ask you to.

Its a common swap, and done because those engines are readily availble in those countries, unlike the RB (the closest they get to an RB is the RB20E which is an SOHC 2.0L N/A and the RB24S which is an inline 6 carby engine). With this in mind, its easier to do an RB25 or RB26DETT swap in a cef, however the 1JZ and 2JZ swaps are doable.

You'd best be asking on a thai ceffy forum like http://www.cefiro-thailand.com

Thankyou :rofl:

The car would be engineerable (is that a word ?) wouldnt it ? I assumed it would be the same as putting an RB25 in.

well im from perth and to the best of my knowledge (correct me if i'm wrong please) but i think it's un-engineerable (is THAT a word?) to have trans build engines in

like you can't put a lada niva motor into a mitsubishi lancer,

nor can you put an engine in that is older than the car's build date

ie: V35 skyline can't have an RB transplant etc,

over here you can put any engine into another as long as it meets ADRs, then an engineer will have to sign off on it to certify that the swap is legal. Usually costs about $500 - $800 to get done. Once that's done then the car is legal with that engine.

The other way that most people do it is rego the car with the engine its supposed to have in it, then do the swap. Engine swaps aren't a roadworthy issue, so the roadworthy shops won't care. It is illegal, but it happens a lot in VIC. The only time you can get caught out is if you have a cop go through your car, or you go to resell it and it needs to go through the registration process again.

Yeh that was my understanding too. That you just have get an eng cert.

Removing the Toyota markings from the surface, whos to know its a Toyota motor at the pits? I think is definately doable....

if you guys remember that Ferrari Enzo kitted 180sx that was on the J-Spec mailing list, it was bought by a guy in Syd who was gonna put a worked 2jz (out of his old silvia) in it.

    • Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life
    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
    • Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.
