C211 Convert

[hcg210]

A good friend of mine owns a c211, he is wanting info how to convert to

a RB25 motor even though i did try to convince him to stay original, mainly in regards to the cross member

and gearbox arangement..

any members out there that can help him..let us know...

cheers

i remember reading that when v8skylineman put his rb30 into his car the engine mounts lined up but the crossover plenum fouled on the bonnet.

[hcg210]

keep it as it is faysal, original will be worth more in the end

cheers,

Mario.

SHED SOME LIGHT TO WHERE IT GOES..

There was one a local wreckers a year ago and some of the bonnet frame had been cut to clear the engine.

Found a pic of it.

if you put a front-facing plenum on it, it shouldnt foul on the bonnet.

ive done some measurements with my conversion and the rb's cam cover (the highest part if you've got a front-facing plenum) actually sits lower than the carby L24 air filter. but only just.

[Socrates]

so you're set then

good to hear

[hcg210]

thanks to you guys for the info,

i still prefered he keep it original..but then again i,ll pass on the details to him..

cheers..

AS far as i know all you need is the rb engine mounts, the blue c210 above that was at jolly's a fair few months ago had the factory steering rack and the cross member didn't look like a newer model, if anything the rb cross member bolts up too

[Silent Shadow]

ive been told you have to change the gearbox x-member and change the tailshaft length.

i wanna try to have everything done in a few weeks and ill be doing a big how-to on here so stay tuned.
