Gday! Single dad from Vic. I joined bcoz id like to 25/30 my gq. I havea 25 sitting here, have a gt3576 aswell.

Im concerned that i just cant afford the mod, when u start talking trigger kits, vct mod, clutches, building turbo block, building a turbo mani, etc

Any insight would be great, ta ??

Yeah, could just chip away at the build..

Ill build it myself, im just wondering if 25/30 is worth the $$ i geuss

worth it is pretty subjective. different people have different expectations and budgets etc. so it is basically impossible to answer your question. 

Having said that i would say an LS swap would make heaps more sense into a Patrol.

I'd say that any RB build into a Patrol is a horrible waste. Big lumpy tank needs a big lumpy motor. LS is smart option for defs. If you must have Nissan, start at VH41 or 45 and work your way up from there. 41 with a turbo on 8-10 psi will be enormously torquey.

See Skid Factory for turbo diesel shenanigans in Patrol. See MCM for turbo VH41 in Stagea.

People have built RB30sfor very little money - just rings and bearings. The trigger kits etc are not essential but you are still talking quite a few thousands and I have no idea what it would take to put it into a patrol.

With about 2.5 tonnes to shift it would take a massive power boost to make it goes fast and then I would think it would be pretty scary to keep on the road.

Do some searching - someone has done this before - don't know how this worked out.
