actually, i can talk from experience, i have droped an rb 20 det in the front of my prince gt, you can get the package with the gearbox of there is an adaptor to bolt the orginal L block gearbox to them. as for the tailshaft both the rb and L series gearboxes actually have the same yoke size and spline........ only thing you might have to do is fabricate a set of engine mounts.... the gear box mount is almosrt the same.. for both bolt positions on both gearboxes......

and i think there are mobs out there that have engine mount kits for these conversions... just need to look around abit..... zoom was a good magazine for these sort of articles and information.....

any thing is possible...and an RB20det would be a absolute V8 killa in that toy!

Yeah i thought about that... I am wanting to update it with a injected unleaded motor - but yeah i might just wait till she needs fixing...  

yes i do peelies in it from time to time... hmmmm somebody knows tamworth....

i have to say the rb25de is a great $$ option as well, being your brother is machanic he would know the right people in town to get the work done, your looking at a little fabracition, electrical and exhaust work other than that a little time to get it all done..all up i'd say $2500 would be about the budget.

Hi Bek,

If it was mine and was staying normally aspirated, I would be doing an F54 280ZX block, bored 3mm o/size, try to source an LD28 crank and go to 3098 and have one hell of a cruiser.

But if the late model ULP EFI option is your choice, I can't see why you would go past the aussie RB30E from an R31 and take it to GTS2 spec.

The RB25DE is rated at 134Kw, yet the RB30E GTS2 is rated at 140Kw and parts are a dime a dozen. An engineers report would be necessary with both of these 2 option, but with anything over 2760, it will be the same.

For a quick fix upgrade, the head and induction system of the C211 or MR30 would bolt on and get you running fairly cheaply, if EFI is your goal.

If go and cheap is the option, do the 240Z engine specs as with twin carbs, extractors and some tuning fairly good power is obtainable.

Hey Bek, Yeah sweet ride. Colour looks good (the Muppets, Yaaay).

Which engine to go with I guess comes down to cash.

A good cheap way may be (as already stated) the L24E for L28E - from the MR30 and 280ZX - should go in without to much hassle.

With some breathing mods and extractors/exhaust you should be able to get reasonable economy and good useable power for the road.

Or maybe the RB30E from the R31 skylines (you can do lots to these engines to make them more powerful and efficient)

I drive a MR30 with a L24E and even though these are not the toughest of the L series engines with basic maintenance I have never had a problem.

With some suspension mods I think I would be a great little car.

Keep us posted.

Cheers

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
