Ummmmm Derrrrrrr ummm ............................... you ever think of sending him an email or PM, as I'm sure he would pass on all the info after he sees the message.

When I was looking at an RB30DET >>>>> MR30Ti sedatch, my research found it was reasonably easy.

Having said that, WHY! does he want to in the first place, because you of all people know the deal with L series 6's.

this is your lucky day..

motor does drop straight in but sump does not clear mr30 crossmember enough for engineers.

you can either modify the sump for clearance or, do what i did and modify the engine mounts.

my motor sits about 10mm more forward than normal for the sump to clear.

If you arent bothering with engineers then just drop it in. I also did experiment with vl mounts and r31 mounts.

For memory one of them just dont fit nice at all but i cant remember which ones i ended up with. Might even be a mixture of the two.

Next is gearbox. I went with the mx7 out of the vl turbo. its big and long but fits.

Again the mount is not standard, just make one up or modify the r30 one.

The rest is pretty easy. Radiator is stock too.

I sent my loom and computer off to castlemain auto elecs who make up universal looms which are very easy to install.

I think that covers it. Makes a big difference if you go engineers or not coz you gotta meet all the adrs.

Cheers!

in Qld an rb30et in r30 would be a breeze to mod plate. i know 2 guys with 120y's 1 with rb20det and other vg33e both plated and fully legal and they well under 1000kgs, mate used to have a 400hp rb25 in an ae86 mod plated. Qld is alot easier i hear but...

L series motors are good but id rather an rb anyday

    • Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly
    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
