mmmmmmmmmmmm?

Would work quite well and be damn quick.

Tell us more, is it in fantasy stage or have you moved from fantasy to getting the block, head etc?

[sinistaGTR]

its not that hard to do, the car i saw was pretty quick, and not that much done to it. fits in the engine bay nice....or you see if you had enough room for a rb25head to go on....do i sense a rb25/30 lol

[Cubes]

I've seen one in a mag years ago that had the ol' RB30ET.

[Bl4cK32]

considering the good old holden 6 is the same bolt up pattern as the rb30 (bolt in) it wouldnt be hard at all....the gearbox, and driveline would be the hard bit though.

Oh and the fact torries like to slide the arse around when u need to do a fast stop aint that fun

[Cubes]

erm.. old aussy cars don't stop.....

[Bl4cK32]

ive been in my mates LJ back to back with shit tyres vs. bridgstone bf goodrich's

He actually slammed the brakes as someone stopped in front of us, the car did its usual tail slide, and crash...bye bye 1/4 panel.

He then got the BF's about a week later and almost had the same sh*t happen, someone stopped right in front of us. This time it was a little chirp and a lockup, from which we pulled straight up. Almost a neck snapper...great rubber those BF's (lookm sexy with the white writing on the tyre too (ol school)

Remeber to box up the rear end to get the good takeoff's too

surely it would be a disaster? huge power in a flexy, live axle, underbraked aussie car?

[r31turbo]

thats not very open minded im sure if done properly its fine. perhaps u just dont like the idea of crossbreeding jap engines with aussie cars.

im certain that v8s can be worked and dropped in to produce the same power as a rb30det and how many toranas have this done so why not a r30det?

The LJ/LC what ever I'm not right up with it all tend to twist their chassis with a decent amount of power.

There used to be one around when I was growing up with a mild 308 in it that went to the drags and came back crabbing down the road.

Providing its done properly I can't see a problem.. Personally.. I would prefer a nice little VT 5ltr dropped in it.

They were only ever meant for a 6cyl racing @ bathurst V8's in torries are just plain stupid...they go like a shower of sh.. though. All my mates had, or knew of, some seriously worked torries including the guys from GTR supplies (yes it was around before skylines) who built some monsters.

I always said my dream project was an injected 5lt in a lc gtr shell... :PBJ:

[Cubes]

This bloke only had issues with the chassis after bolting a set of slicks on..

Apart from that it went pretty damn well.

my pics wont load.. must be to big..

[Cubes]

Download and isntall microsofts resizer powertool here < Resizer 512kb >

Then select the photo's you want while holding down shift right click your mouse button on any of the selected pictures and select resize pictures from the popup menu. Then use the newly created resized pictures to upload.

It will default to 640x480 which is fine but 800x600 is nicer.
