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!

    • Good timing mate, welcome to God's country just in time for winter Seriously though....how cheap is rural/regional.
    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 😋
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
