oh, don't get me wrong .... I will get it engineered fully before I register it

Thanks for the reply mate. A blue slip is do-able, a new engineers report for this car is un-do-able.

Thanks again.

Good idea demacoz.

Hi 25gtv can u move the chassie rails inward on a ute and get it passed or is it a nono to alter the chassie in anyway or form.

I'm intereseted to know about the legalitities of an A-series turbo?

What you be looking for to fully engineer an A-15 turbo?

mcdat, It would be very difficult to move the chassis rails and have it passed as safe. Manufacturers spend a lot of time and wreck a lot of vehicles to be sure that the design is ideal. I would need to see the car and the design plans. What is the goal/reason for moving the rails?

steveo, The legalities of a conversion like this can be simple or complex depending on the year model of your car and what ADRs it needs to comply with. It is definitely passable. Obviously there would need to be upgrades to the brake system etc. Price will vary car to car. Give me a call for more info.

Cheers

Hey Matt

Just wondering ,do you see any problems with putting an rb30t into a 92 rodeo ute? It cane our with a 2.6l 4 cylinder petrol and ive put a 3lt turbo 6 in it

As far room goes it fits but I've had to cut the rad support to get the motor and box in as one peice

My question is

Will 10mm thick plate be enough for the engine mounts ,they're plates that bolt to the stock chassis mounts and have grade 8 12mm bolts holding them to the chassis and then the rubber moun lt bolts into them about an inch forward

What's the type with clearancing ? The head is about an inch away from the firewall
And the radiator is about an inch away from the timing cover

The sump is custom and has heaps of room and won't rub on anything

The tunnel is stock hasnt been belted at all ,Shifter hole has moved back about 30mm ,is that a problem?

sorry for bombing a datsun forum with my #OOPS# but not very often you get to ask these type of questions

Cheers

Hi estyre,

I don't see any problems with the compliance of this vehicle.

With the clearances and the rad support, I would suggest a 'half way' / 'First inspection' just to see how things are and to make some comments on how further changes should be done.

The tunnel will need to be reinforced but this is nothing serious.

Feel free to give me a call if your ready to go ahead with the process or just need some further info.

im at menai and wonder do you guys come out an look at a car before actually bringing the car in for final inspection? rather than transport back and forth to the workshop? not sure if this is how it works for blue slips and engineering

mradtee23, I do come out and do a first inspection on site if it is necessary. However, as this is for the purpose of registration there is a section in the RMS/RTA website that gives you permission to drive unregistered vehicles to a workshop etc. One issue is that if the car is deemed to be unsafe I MUST provide you with a letter stating that the vehicle must not be driven and then you would be stuck at my premises.

If you are ready for a first inspection feel free to give me a call. Usually this is just a look and discussion about what needs to be changed etc.
