R30

[red720]

just wondering waht mods need to be done to a mr30 to fit a rb motor in it??

any help on a easy engine conversion would be great as my L24E motor has droped a big end bearing??

[skybt1]

i had to customise engine mounts and gearbox mount for it to fit with clearance everywhere.

What about a L28 ex 280ZX?

To fit a RB, I'm told that all that is required is a R31 cross-member. You might need a custom gearbox cross-member.

will the fuel injection off a L24E fit onto the L28 block..

[coupe72001]

Yep. Far as I know.

[skybt1]

most likely it will. Im sure someone on here has done this before.

The L28 is already fuel injected - doesn't need the L24 stuff.

Actually, if you live in Melbourne, you can call round to my place and grab my old L24E

79 on 280ZX was EFI in Oz and if your looking at n/a, the best bits are N42, but the block has to be modified to front sump as all zeds are rear sump pans.

Don't be fooled, the old L28, makes good power if modified a bit.

A stock RB30E is rated at 114kW at the fly and an L28E is rated at about 103kW so there isn't heaps in it.

will the sump off the L24 bolt onto the L28 block??

RB bolts straight onto r30 crossmember wit RB mounts. no probs. hardest thing is gearbox mount.... then tailshaft....

Yes! All L series motors have identical external dimensions.

[red720]

last question do any monts have to be changed for the L28 to go in place of the L24

[Ghostrider]

If your using the L24E stumpy gearbox, NO!

This is true, but there is no clearance from the sump to the x-member. Thats what i had found in my case.

So you can do it this way, it does work, but no one will engineer it. So technically you will never be able to register that car.

maybe... mine has ample clearance, it all comes down to the angle the motor sits on.. i cant c why it cannot be engineerd as there is no welding or modifications to the crossmember or the mounts..

ne way just got a blue slip wit rb25 numbers so to the untrained the motor came out in that car. true ?

[Ghostrider]

In NSW NOT A CHANCE!

Any idiot can BUY a blue or pink slip, but I think you will hit a snag at the RTA but in any case, if head office happen to screen it they can recall for inspection or just cancel the rego altogether.

Your call?

[ydr030]

good on ya .

any idiot hey can buy a blueslip hey??

stick 2 your L series nugget and get off your high horse.

No Hi Horse this time ............................ just quoting FACT! but obviously it's not the answer you were looking for.

Before I answered you before I consulted an old business associate, he is a current RTA registered examination/inspection station and was an RTA examiner before that, so I guess he should know his stuff when it comes to NSW registration. They (RTA) have all the books for all the models and what is or isn't or was or wasn't fitted to the car, but, as I guess you know everything so do as you please.

JFYI, what happens when you have an accident & maybe injure or kill someone with your DODGY registered car and you are sewed for damages by the CTP insurance company??????? You would need millions behind you as any insurance would become null & void when they find your car is illegal.

But you know all the answers eh! and it will never happen to you? ha ha ha ha, go and grow up!
