Registering A Previously Turbo Vehicle As N/a In Nsw - Ive dropped a sr20de into a s13 that previously had a DET

Go to DOT. Done.

Take it to a mechanic that dos blue slips, dont tell them and they probable wont notice.

Preferably the dodgy-est one in town, there's always one.

Bornio

Pretty sure its still not legal for p plater to drive

xr666

yep its a modified vehicle but like i said only if the mec notices and makes you take it to an engeneer

Rancher

... No such thing when it comes to mod plates



No..




No its not.

OP, Just go to DoT, and change the engine numbers over. Thats it. Because the car was factory fitted with both turbo and NA SR20's, there is no need for a mod plate, or anything special to be done. You just have to make sure they swap the engine numbers over.

To the people who said its not legal. You're wrong. You shouldn't give advice if you dont understand.

Bornio

All well and good till he runs into an amg merc and finds out his insurance is void

Fair enough rancher wasn't sure if it had to be mod plated as its a different engine thus requiring a mod plate

Rancher

Its not a different engine. Its a variation of the same engine.

Thanks mate, i'm sure it's legal as well just not sure how to aproach the issue. But im sure the cars vin number will be known as being turbo, how can this be changed?

Might be a stupid question but what is DOT?

Thanks

xr666

maybe in qld but he said in the title for nsw i stick to what i said

josh333

In NSW on your Ps, you cannot drive a car with 'Modifications that increase engine performance.'

I believe I have done the opposite

so yeah,,

xr666

but if your really not sure and want to do it right go to the RTA (NSW derr) and ask them

stockmy00

DOT is the Department Of Transport, which I think is called the RTA in NSW, the place where you pay regos, get drivers licences, etc. Good luck.

Just a question regarding this that I have wondered for a while - what about a GTS-T skyline, for example? Is that considered to be eligible to be NA without a mod plate (As it's an R3x which were available as NA) or is it ineligible as it was a turbo model?

its like a honda civic, D16 to a B16...

I don't think they have a record of whether a particular VIN is a turbo or non turbo model, its just an identification of that chassis. Register the engine number change, and you're done. If you get pulled up, they'll check that its a non turbo P plate legal engine, and that the engine number corresponds to your car's VIN, and you'll be free to go (Although being a P plater you've probably been pulled over for some stupid shit in the first place)

Thanks guys, ive contacted the RTA just to see if I can get a straight answer but im sure it will be fine!
