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.

I have done the RB20 in R30 converson twice now and never had any problems with sump clearence.

I have read somewhere (not sure if its true cause both my cars have been HR30's L20ET) that L20ET and L24E engine mounts are different, maybe that has something to do with it?

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 ?

Under new legislation in NSW any engine conversion has to be engineered, and as Ghostrider said if you have a smash the insurance companies will most certaintly void your coverage, plus you were technically driving an illegal car so in some cases you might get charged (especially with all this stupid anti hoon sh#t going on at the moment).

Not sure if any one cares but, I have done the RB25 conversion and had an engineers certificate done in QLD which has since been ratified in NSW.

The writing I read indicate I did not need any furhter engineering paperwork because the new engine was less than a 10% increase in capacity of the original and yes the blue slip was completed "legitimately".

I told my insurance company and the only thing they did was increase my premium by $100.

just wondering waht mods need to be done to a mr30 to fit a rb motor in it??

any help on a easy engine conversion would be great as my L24E motor has droped a big end bearing??

I know I am late with this, but-------

My Qld rego says I have an RB30 in my R30, when in fact it has an L24et.

Now that was an easy conversion.

Ergo get it rego in sunny Qld.

Dead set.

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
