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 :P

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 :O

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?

Edited by r31turbo
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. :P

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 :D 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:

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. :D

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
