Reply to matt- Sorry I didn’t reply earlier-
1 You can’t cut anything out of the crash bar. If your car is a frontal impact model you can’t modify the frontal impact structure in any way. This is because we don’t do crash-testing on customers cars.
2 If you change the engine, you need a cat, unless the car wasn’t built with one, or if the engine was not fitted with one.
Crankcase ventilation to atmosphere is not allowed, has to have the PCV Valve back into the manifold.

Hope this helps

John

I cannot figure out what a 5K engine is. If you are fitting a different TYPE of engine you will need a LVV Cert. This includes changing to Turbo version. What exactly is the difference between a 3K and a 5K?

Hi there, I’m looking at replacement diesel engine for my Nissan Terrano 93 D21 TD27T2 73kW. This is mechanical inj and all newer models are EFI, so I would need an ECU to run the pump ?
What are my limitations?
Can I use a QD3.2 110kW intercooled turbo from R50 or even R51 YD25 or do i need to stick with newer version of TD engine?
Thanks

Dear Sir, Thankyour for your reply regarding the repowering of a Rover SD1 2600, your advice is noted.

In answer to your query regarding the Toyota motor type, yes it is a 5M-E motor, SOHC,crossflow design from a 1981 “Cressida” rated at 145hp,8.8:1 comp. ratio,with a 4 speed auto.

The project is planned to be completed by December 2011.

Yours sincerely,

Hi Elvis Peter- It is best to phone us and go through your vehicle. Safety loops have to be within 150mm of the front joint, of each section of driveshaft. Brake upgrade- The LVV Standard requires us to TEST the brakes- 3 or 5 stops from 100 kph. MY experience of Skylines is that the smaller brakes will pass, but obviously fitting the bgger brakes is better. You also have to meet the Exhaust gas Emissions standard, which requires a Cat, plus the standard crankcase ventilation system (no catch-cans) The Certifier has to do an onroad emissions test also. For seats, ther problems arise when rails are changed. The new rails may not be strong enough for the seatbelt buckle, so we ask you to bracket the buckle back to the floor mounting point of the seat. If your skyline is a 2 door, there needs to be a folding seat for access to the rear. Bodykits are not usually an issue, but a ‘frontal impact compliant car’ needs to retain all the front structure, bumper beam, etc, no changes to chassis rails. Hope this helps – John
