the natro ones will beat a natro skyline, but that is beside the point. the main point is that the dash looks like the cockpit of a 1950's plane that has been butchered to fit in a car.

I've seen one butchered further to fit into a VL and covered with diamond quilted beige leather.

I dont mind the interior on supras ... their tiny though, i was going to go for one of them but the skyline had lots more room .. not that thats an issue with my midget size but its alot easier to get in and out of especially in a tiny and tight garage like mine :)

Rocky auto in Japan have built a 26/30 with triple webers making just over 300hp

but these projects should only be for the obsession of building a ridiculous n/a RB. The results can be cool but your wallet suffers soo hard.

If you wanna be a sneaky P Plater might i suggest a company in the us called STS turbos. just dont blame me when the cops pull you over cause your n/a skylines exhaust sounds like a jet turbine :P

You can legally put something like a 6L na motor in a skyline, does the P plater rules say anything about a big NA v8/six ? If you got say a 5.6L nissan V8 out of some massive truck that is too heavy to be on the banned list, could you get away with that?

edit: Perfect choice of car to put an rb30de in, being as they came out with a 2.6 or some people put the 2.8L motors in, a newer 3L twin cam really suits it. NA RBs usually sound like dogs balls as well so it sounds surprisingly nice, might be the cam they are using.

Im in QLD so im not really up on the p plate laws of other states. but i wasn't aware of any states allowing any engine swaps other than engines that came optioned for that model. ie:you can put an RB25DE neo out of a 34 into an R32 because R32 were optioned with 25's in some models.

You can put any engine in you want providing you engineer it, there are however engine size limits. Something like 4L turbo for an R32 and 6-7L NA

you can go read the relevant ADRs for it, there are also engine swap forms which show what you can do legally.

In QLD you are not allowed any engine mods that require a mod plate. a conversion requires a modplate.

Oh right you were talking in regards to P platers, I thought you were talking generally, my bad.

Yeah I suspect it is something similar in other states as well, anyway getting off topic. :)

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
