Hey I was just wanting to find out some info/problems/advice or if any one has done or heard of turbo engine swaps for 1981-1985 HR/DR/MR30 Nissan skylines such as L28et, RB30det, RB20det, RB25det any others because I am curently thinking seirously about puting on into my HR30 4 door Non turbo because I have a bit of coin saved up. Also any photos of your modded R30s would be greatly apreiciated. THANKS.

I have an L28E in mine, was going to turbocharge it but a manifold was about $1500 minimum.

Then i thought of an RB25, but thats going to cost atleast $7K.

Since then its been crashed i am getting it fixed selling it and buying a S132 with RB25DET

theres a few r30s out there with some swaps

best is prolly http://nissanking.cjb.net

thats what i'll be doin to mine, just need to find the appropriate parts for my motor.

from what i've read for the r30

rb25 needs to have the sump modified

rb20 goes in with minimal mods to gearbox mounts

rb30 sits too high requiring either bonnet raised or sump cut n shut

all swaps are over about 6k cause u gotta change heaps of stuff like diff brakes zorst prolly cooler and so forth

thge rb20det is a direct replacement, talk to justeck and they will give you the information.

all they said to me is.

The mounts line up. you have to rewire the wring harnes for the Pas and Cas. use the Rb bell housing and you can use the l20et gearbox.

thats it simple :D stock wiring harnes, just swap and go :)

when i did the rb20 swap it was a little more difficult then that as we found the gear box didnt line up (bolts), replace the brake master cylinder for the r32 one, engine needs lifting and if you have a mate that is a auto sparkie it will say you a lot of cash, 1000 to re-wire to suit new system?

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
