hi guys,
im Tim and i am from holland.
i am 22 winters old and my daily profession is engineer on cargo vessels (sailing area is mainly europe but i hope to visit australia some time)
i drive a 1994, black nissan 200sx s13.
jup, that's right, i'm from the country where prostitution and marihuana (still) is legal.
but thats not the reason i signed up on this forum.
i am planning on building a RB30 engine and after a lot of searching on the internet, it became clear to me that this forum is the bible when it comes to RB30 conversions.
it is easier to get a kilo of coke here in holland then to get some info on this engine
this is because it was never sold here, even skylines we have to import ourselves.
(if it is okay with the moderators) i will post my questions here and in the forced induction parts of this forum.
first of all, my goal is to start with building the basic RB30DET engine.
i know already that the RB25 gearbox and cilinder head will fit on the RB30 block.
question number one:
what basic RB30 engine should i import to holland?
i know it has been sold as RB30E and RB30ET. any other types?
2: what modifications have to be made on the head and/or block?
i read something about a VVL oil line or something like that.
3: can i use the RB25 inlet and exhaust manifolds?
for now, these are the questions i have. i will update this first post with more questions when i have them.
i thank you guys already for the answers.
EDIT: just found the RB30 dohc guide
