R33, Rb30 Conversion

[Nick.]

Hi..

right, i live in vic...im about to get my first car..i really want an r33. now the non turbos hav 4 stud, and a not so nice fornt bar (imo) and the gtst is an all round beautiful car...but i cant drive 1 because its turbo. (laws in vic are bad). and if i get a gtst will save me buying new car at 23.

so i was thinking, instead of removing the turbo, why not put anon turbo rb30 in there.

now I wanna know if:- (and what work need to fit if needed)

-The engine mounts of a 30 or simmiler or same as an rb25det?

-The gear box, does it just connect it.

-what other work? how would other componants of r33 fit on to the rb30.

-VL RB best way to go?

Thanks, i apprichiate the help .

Thanks again, Nick

Buy an R32 GTST.

it's turbo

and it fits the VIC power to weight laws.

it is better than a non turbo R33 and better than an illegal engine (old 1988 engine in a 1993+ car) which the RB30 would be.

or just buy something else till you are off your P's then get the whale of your dreams.

Its illegal. You can not put a motor in a car that is older than the build date of the car.

So its RB25 or RB26 only.

Plus it then counts as a modified vehicle, also illegal.

Either way, buy a non turbo and sell in 4 years.

Yeah but the rb30 came in nissan patrols newer than the skyline right? So technically the motor isn't older than the car? even if it came out of an older car.

Looking for Rb25de now....but rb30 wass soo cheapp

[Nick.]

But still havnt got ne answers on engine mounts and gearbox etc

[VB-]

non turbo RB30 gearbox is same as RB20DET box, so shouldnt have too much trouble getting it in, same with mounts, should be able to bolt straight up with the right mix/match combo, but then you have to wire it etc. dont f*ck around with all that, just buy a nice car you can legally drive. if you can afford to buy a GTST and do a motor swap, you can afford a non turbo supra
