79 on 280ZX was EFI in Oz and if your looking at n/a, the best bits are N42, but the block has to be modified to front sump as all zeds are rear sump pans.

Don't be fooled, the old L28, makes good power if modified a bit.

A stock RB30E is rated at 114kW at the fly and an L28E is rated at about 103kW so there isn't heaps in it.

RB bolts straight onto r30 crossmember wit RB mounts. no probs. hardest thing is gearbox mount.... then tailshaft....

This is true, but there is no clearance from the sump to the x-member. Thats what i had found in my case.

So you can do it this way, it does work, but no one will engineer it. So technically you will never be able to register that car.

maybe... mine has ample clearance, it all comes down to the angle the motor sits on.. i cant c why it cannot be engineerd as there is no welding or modifications to the crossmember or the mounts..

ne way just got a blue slip wit rb25 numbers so to the untrained the motor came out in that car. true ?

No Hi Horse this time ............................ just quoting FACT! but obviously it's not the answer you were looking for.

Before I answered you before I consulted an old business associate, he is a current RTA registered examination/inspection station and was an RTA examiner before that, so I guess he should know his stuff when it comes to NSW registration. They (RTA) have all the books for all the models and what is or isn't or was or wasn't fitted to the car, but, as I guess you know everything so do as you please.

JFYI, what happens when you have an accident & maybe injure or kill someone with your DODGY registered car and you are sewed for damages by the CTP insurance company??????? You would need millions behind you as any insurance would become null & void when they find your car is illegal.

But you know all the answers eh! and it will never happen to you? ha ha ha ha, go and grow up!

    • and I thought size mattered 😝 At this point I may either pray to the Afterpay gods and get a torque wrench or attach a water bucket to the breaker bar. I appreciate the help though 🙏🏾
    • Or get a guy in his early fiftys to do it. A single good "oof" and about two cracks from his lower back is about the right tightness...
    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
