Adapting the 25 head to the 30 block is your biggest hurdle if you keep the stock bottom end, it depends on how much power you want and how much you have to spend, If you posted saying you want 400hp on a budget of $5000, I'm sure you would have some replies.

What parts do you have from the old motor, turbo, head etc?

A rb30 motor is easy to come by and fairly cheap compared to ours and if your old head is still good your set for a great motor but it all comes down to your goal. :D

I don't know, I posted for some help in the rb30 conversion thread but noone has come to rescue yet :nyaanyaa:

i like your style :D. i'm currently going through this saga with my gtr,...going to post a reply

I am getting an rb30 block from a mate for a carton of Jacks, and I am selling everything off my rb25 block that I wont be using to my boyfriend for his s13. I have around 5 - 5.5k to spend, I just want to make sure I am going to be ordering parts with a known history of standing the test of time. The turbo I have is a t70. This was her before she blew:

All the pics of the car were taken by the previous owner. The only photos I took of her was when they dismantled the engine.

More pics can my found in my sig link.

hmm could be hard to accomplish with only 5.5k. but seeing as you've got all the other bits and pieces, all ud need to spend that on is the engine, so could be doable.

whose going to be building it for you?

PM sent with some more info :wave:

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
