Hi from Canada! Hoping I put this thread in the right area.
I'm looking for TECHNICAL information on swapping a SR20DET into a DR30 from someone who has done this!

What mounts are needed, what else has to be changed, etc. Actual info would be cool, not just "you need other mounts" lol
Once I finally get this done I WILL be posting ALL OVER THE INTERNET a "how to" on this because this has been ridiculously difficult in finding knowledgeable help lol

If you know someone who has done this please tag them into here. If there's already a thread on this, I'm sorry, I checked but didn't find it please post the link here for me!

I am not interested in keeping the FJ20ET in the car currently.

I am not interested in any other motor! I have several SR20DET kicking around and ready to go in! :D

Please please and thank you in advance! And here's a picture of my car for good measure =P

Waiting on bumper pieces and headlamps and all the seats from Japan

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
