AB's new GQ is finally here

I had some pretty obvious mods on mine when I did this too like the turbo etc and he didn't even notice anything. It was raining and cold and he just wanted to check the number and go inside...

Yeah it's been on my mind Plassy. From what I understand a like for like engine just needs to be taken into the pits purely for someone to visually check out the engine number.

I had to do that when they stuffed up my engine numbers and he did was check my number, nothing else.

Now....is a td42ti 04 model a like for like engine?

Yes it is like for like.

Can confirm from when I did mine in the oyta.
Like for like.
They just wanted to sight the numbers.

Yep simple engine number check is all it should be. The chick that checked my rd28ti -> td42t conversion didn't even know where to start looking I had to show her.

Yep me too, she only saw about half the numbers and said "yeah that's fine"

Haha yeah same here. Even on the second check, after i got the engineers report they had to check again, didnt even look at the air box and intercooler which are now a no no.

Vic roads don't care as long as the paperwork is correct it makes their job easy.

Had a successful day! Alternator, turbo, thermostat housing, exhaust manifold and oil cooler installed.

Water drain and oil drain done. Need to go to pirtek to extend oil feed for alternator as the original bung is stripped but I can tap into the one 100mm away.

Unfortunately the position of oem oil drain is in the way of my original water feed for turbo so need to shorten hose.

Worked out oil feed for turbo on the correct side as the td42t has a dedicated port...hooray!

The day's cut short with the old ladies birthday and some missing gaskets but there's good progress!

Good to hear it's moving along nicely mate 👍🏼

[Winnie]

Yep definitely a productive day, nice work! Just another step closer
