Is the current engine a single cam rb30 with that gear on?  That may make it harder, the inlet and exhaust manifolds may have different bolt patterns because of the different head.  If someone doesn't know for sure you can always look at an rb30 vs rb25 inlet and exhaust gasket, that will tell you if the mating surfaces and stud locations are the same. Injectors you would have to check if original rb30 ran side feeds in the same size as rb25

I don't know the microtech but again generally the ECU follows the head because that's where all the sensors are; you may well have to change this or at least the engine wiring loom as well

Ecu would need to be partial rewired and reprogramed to suit the differnt cas sensor, and coils and so on, yet can work. The injectors themselfs will work however the manifolds won't and the fuel rail.wont. Depending on if the injectors are hose tail like the original rb 30 or are proper top feed they may even just slot into the neo fuel rail as is.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
