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.

I have done the RB20 in R30 converson twice now and never had any problems with sump clearence.

I have read somewhere (not sure if its true cause both my cars have been HR30's L20ET) that L20ET and L24E engine mounts are different, maybe that has something to do with it?

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 ?

Under new legislation in NSW any engine conversion has to be engineered, and as Ghostrider said if you have a smash the insurance companies will most certaintly void your coverage, plus you were technically driving an illegal car so in some cases you might get charged (especially with all this stupid anti hoon sh#t going on at the moment).

Not sure if any one cares but, I have done the RB25 conversion and had an engineers certificate done in QLD which has since been ratified in NSW.

The writing I read indicate I did not need any furhter engineering paperwork because the new engine was less than a 10% increase in capacity of the original and yes the blue slip was completed "legitimately".

I told my insurance company and the only thing they did was increase my premium by $100.

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??

I know I am late with this, but-------

My Qld rego says I have an RB30 in my R30, when in fact it has an L24et.

Now that was an easy conversion.

Ergo get it rego in sunny Qld.

Dead set.

    • Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.
    • I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the 18 x 8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30 Sounds like it would sit much better.
    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.
