Not really. But it means I would have to buy another throttle body bigger then standard. Probably atleast 100mm, though I think the intake to the plenum is only about 90mm, nothing abit of grinding cant fix.

Guess I will just have to see for myself. Hopefully it wont be as bad as he made it out to be.

You better hope that gasket seals where the o-ring used to be..

I go through a pair of tyres every 2 weeks min. and thats not even baking the tyres on the spot or dumping the clutch. 30 + 25 head + GT3582R

Will see how this goes and learn how to steer again. But I think a 3.4 with 26 head would be nice in a LC or LJ torana

You can probably use either. The sumps are much the same besides the scraper fins on the back of the 25 one. Should be fine.

If I still have my old rb25det balancer you can have that. I will have to check in case it got thrown out by my old man. If it is there though, a bottle of red rum is the price :P I am also northside.

The pickup in the block is in a different location isn't it? Pretty sure you have to use the RB30 pickup...

Highly advise an ASR sump/pickup, mine is a work of art!

Oh and get a decent balancer..

just checked. rb30 ones have a o ring to seal it to the motor. rb25 one has a gasket. but i got a gasket in my rb30 bottomend gasket set. might have a o ring in there also but. there exactly the same shape wise. had 2 rb30 ones in the shed but one is crushed and the other the mesh bit is abit broken. will use the rb25 one with gasket

Quick question,

If I dont want to use the factory water/oil heat exchanger, and just want to run my remote filter block thing straight onto the block, is the thread the same?

you need an adapter, oil filter/relocator and block are both female. the rb30 has just such a thing

Does any one have the 30's welch plug sizes handy?

6x22mm

12x30mm

Who has had the block grout filled and how much fill...?

What size radiator and oil cooler were used...?

I would like to know too, I have heard people filling to the welsch plugs with not too much hassle. I would be very interested to know if people do this to engines that see some circuit work...?

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
