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....

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 ?

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!

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
