Cubes Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Would work quite well and be damn quick. Tell us more, is it in fantasy stage or have you moved from fantasy to getting the block, head etc?

sinistaGTR Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 its not that hard to do, the car i saw was pretty quick, and not that much done to it. fits in the engine bay nice....or you see if you had enough room for a rb25head to go on....do i sense a rb25/30 lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/122634-rb30det-into-lc-gtr-torana/#findComment-2265351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I've seen one in a mag years ago that had the ol' RB30ET. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/122634-rb30det-into-lc-gtr-torana/#findComment-2265355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bl4cK32 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 considering the good old holden 6 is the same bolt up pattern as the rb30 (bolt in) it wouldnt be hard at all....the gearbox, and driveline would be the hard bit though. Oh and the fact torries like to slide the arse around when u need to do a fast stop aint that fun Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/122634-rb30det-into-lc-gtr-torana/#findComment-2265426 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bl4cK32 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 ive been in my mates LJ back to back with shit tyres vs. bridgstone bf goodrich's He actually slammed the brakes as someone stopped in front of us, the car did its usual tail slide, and crash...bye bye 1/4 panel. He then got the BF's about a week later and almost had the same sh*t happen, someone stopped right in front of us. This time it was a little chirp and a lockup, from which we pulled straight up. Almost a neck snapper...great rubber those BF's (lookm sexy with the white writing on the tyre too (ol school) Remeber to box up the rear end to get the good takeoff's too Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/122634-rb30det-into-lc-gtr-torana/#findComment-2265913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 surely it would be a disaster? huge power in a flexy, live axle, underbraked aussie car? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/122634-rb30det-into-lc-gtr-torana/#findComment-2266204 Share on other sites More sharing options...
r31turbo Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 (edited) thats not very open minded im sure if done properly its fine. perhaps u just dont like the idea of crossbreeding jap engines with aussie cars. im certain that v8s can be worked and dropped in to produce the same power as a rb30det and how many toranas have this done so why not a r30det?

Cubes Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 surely it would be a disaster? huge power in a flexy, live axle, underbraked aussie car? The LJ/LC what ever I'm not right up with it all tend to twist their chassis with a decent amount of power. There used to be one around when I was growing up with a mild 308 in it that went to the drags and came back crabbing down the road. Providing its done properly I can't see a problem.. Personally.. I would prefer a nice little VT 5ltr dropped in it.

They were only ever meant for a 6cyl racing @ bathurst V8's in torries are just plain stupid...they go like a shower of sh.. though. All my mates had, or knew of, some seriously worked torries including the guys from GTR supplies (yes it was around before skylines) who built some monsters. I always said my dream project was an injected 5lt in a lc gtr shell... :PBJ: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/122634-rb30det-into-lc-gtr-torana/#findComment-2268452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 This bloke only had issues with the chassis after bolting a set of slicks on.. Apart from that it went pretty damn well.

Cubes Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Download and isntall microsofts resizer powertool here < Resizer 512kb > Then select the photo's you want while holding down shift right click your mouse button on any of the selected pictures and select resize pictures from the popup menu. Then use the newly created resized pictures to upload. It will default to 640x480 which is fine but 800x600 is nicer.
