You will have an easier time putting a VQ30det in an R32 as the VQ is a tiny block. but the same size capacity.

they are also very wel priced and newer :(

clicky clicky here vor vq info

I think you'd get more satisfaction spending your hard earned on a RB30 combination - gtr head, intake manifold and twin turbos - it would be a weapon in a r32.

Having done conversions myself they are probably more hassle than they are worth.

Take a look at under the bonnet of a 300ZX and you will quickly change you mind. Their engine bay is wider than an R32 and all of the stuff still doesn't fit without lots of compromises.

If you are going to stick a V engine in there, then a twin tubo Q45 would be at least worth the effort.

:P cheers :)

so a q45 would fit in better? mmm any other engines you would suggest? and i dont want another rb engine really. wanna try something different, i plan on keeping my gtst for a while so i wanna do something completely insane, but then again i dont wanna spend too much lets say under 8 thousand

lol i could throw in a ca18de bet thats never been done in an r32

any way my 2 friends both have r32's gts's and this is my second one my first one was a 93 model with a factory rb25det

and as for my mates ones...

one has an rb25det with big fmic and a nice looking machine soon to have a powerfc go in and also a gt30/40 afaik

my other mate has a rebuilt 20, with the work's o-ringed, forgies, ecu, over 20thou spent on the engine but he just blew his el cheapo chinese t4e and is gonna be putting in a better turbo.. he already had 250kw at wheels any ways i want something thats more special :D

oh also about the available room in engine bay, i thort the extra room the r32 has at the front would be a bonus with the longer engine bay?

why not go all out and put the engine out of your ride on in there :D you could then drive it to work and mow the lawn as you leave the drive in the morning :P.... But seriously... much easier if you want more power to get a rb25 or 26 and as they have previously said if that is going to bore you go a rb25/rb30 hybrid very good set up if done right and with the cubes of the 3l you can spool a very decent turbo up much quicker making shit loads of power.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.

      My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
