Not really. But it means I would have to buy another throttle body bigger then standard. Probably atleast 100mm, though I think the intake to the plenum is only about 90mm, nothing abit of grinding cant fix.

Guess I will just have to see for myself. Hopefully it wont be as bad as he made it out to be.

You better hope that gasket seals where the o-ring used to be..

I go through a pair of tyres every 2 weeks min. and thats not even baking the tyres on the spot or dumping the clutch. 30 + 25 head + GT3582R

Will see how this goes and learn how to steer again. But I think a 3.4 with 26 head would be nice in a LC or LJ torana

You can probably use either. The sumps are much the same besides the scraper fins on the back of the 25 one. Should be fine.

If I still have my old rb25det balancer you can have that. I will have to check in case it got thrown out by my old man. If it is there though, a bottle of red rum is the price :P I am also northside.

The pickup in the block is in a different location isn't it? Pretty sure you have to use the RB30 pickup...

Highly advise an ASR sump/pickup, mine is a work of art!

Oh and get a decent balancer..

just checked. rb30 ones have a o ring to seal it to the motor. rb25 one has a gasket. but i got a gasket in my rb30 bottomend gasket set. might have a o ring in there also but. there exactly the same shape wise. had 2 rb30 ones in the shed but one is crushed and the other the mesh bit is abit broken. will use the rb25 one with gasket

Quick question,

If I dont want to use the factory water/oil heat exchanger, and just want to run my remote filter block thing straight onto the block, is the thread the same?

you need an adapter, oil filter/relocator and block are both female. the rb30 has just such a thing

Does any one have the 30's welch plug sizes handy?

6x22mm

12x30mm

Who has had the block grout filled and how much fill...?

What size radiator and oil cooler were used...?

I would like to know too, I have heard people filling to the welsch plugs with not too much hassle. I would be very interested to know if people do this to engines that see some circuit work...?

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
