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

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
