Hey guys,
Alright here I go. I own a 1983 e30. The engine is on its way out, the cylinders were down on pressure and a couple of other little things. the car is currently off the road. I believe the car to be straight. There is no rust, the owner before me was an enthusiast so the car is in excellent condition.
Instead of getting a new car I thought I would try and fix the one I have. And make a machine out of it at the same time. It was suggested that I put a SR20 in it. I have been looking at getting a sr20 front cut. But i thought if i could why not try a RB20 or even better a RB25....
I have done a bit of research and have found (i hope) that its not that hard to do, (with the sr20 det anyway) gearbox lines up with the hole and everything, Nissan nose needs to be welded onto tail shaft, the main problem is that the exhaust is on the wrong side, which you cant do anything about. Now obviosly there would be more involved with the 6cyl conversion
Just wondering if anyone has done or seen done a similar engine swap, and any other problems ect. or a contact to someone who has, (brisbne area)
All suggestions/ help is greatly appreciated
Thanks
*i know nobody likes/ takes seriously, newbies.... but i am fully serious about this and genuinly need some advice/help
thanks again
