240zrb

Thanx for all your help, I got a couple of "yes, in AU the 240z sometimes get approved with RB25DET" e-mails. AND this got the tech inspectors to change their mind:-) So now they say OK, go ahead, do the rb25det swap:-) OH, and they appoved my 8x17 and 10x17 wheels also!

I've desided to try to just get a letter stating something like: Yes, in australia it IS possible to get approval for using the rb in a S30..... (if you just make this or that mod to the....) That way any person willing to make such a letter will have his back covered! He doesn't say OK, go ahead, YOUR car will take the power... He simply says that in AU sometimes rb's get approved in S30... I'll try the Vic roads guys, don't hurt to ask :roll: Best regards 240zrb

Well, it's kind of the same here, BUT the government controlled road authority HERE, will approve the use of the rb25det (or even the rb26dett).... IF I can present them a letter from NISSAN (importers) that states that the S30 chassi will withstand the power of the engine... SO if I could get a letter like that from anywhere in the world, the government controlled road authority here, would be satisfied! And I would be HAPPY If there is any chance of getting a letter like that from the guys doing the checking of you cars (an behalf of the government controlled road authority) I might even be able to use that:-) Anyone got any contacts? It would not hurt to ask one of them... Thanx:-) :?

Ok, I know it can be done, know what I need, and so on:-) What I was wondering was: Are you guys in AU allowed to use the rb25det (or even better rb26dett) in a 240z? And, do you think Nissan AU would say (in writing) that using an rb25det (or rb26dett) in a 240z shell is ok? And last, anyone got any good contacts in Nissan AU? (or at least an e-mail adr for nissan au...) I live in Norway, and the car inspector guy says: if Nissan AU says it's ok, it's OK with me.... :-) (Nissan Norway, won't say a word.... just as well, they got minimal knowledge of the s30 :? .....) ANY help would be appreciated!!!!!!!!! Best regards from Snowy Norway 240z(rb) Svein-Ove
