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. :D

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 :down:

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 :D

    • Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate 
    • 😂 thanks guys. The diagram i had did not have the breather on it at all. Much appreciated.  
    • Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.
    • Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
