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

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
