R34 gtt gearbox on rb30et series 2

[Jacks red r34 gtt]

Hi guys

have done a days with of searching and haven’t found a thing about what is needed to fit a rb25det neo gearbox to a rb30et engine block

also does anyone know if you can use r34 stock engine mounts to hold the rb30 block

Physically it's all the same, except that Neo is push clutch and 30 is pull, so you will need to sort that out.

Yep, and when I fitted my 30, according to the RB30 twin cam pdf guide the RB30 would be too tall for the R33 engine bay but I had no height issues, bonnet closed fine with no rubbing.

Jack, What happened to your stroker neo?

I think he was just pricing up his options mate.

Possibly taking advice... I suggested an RB30 would be much cheaper and better! (BTW  an RB30 fitted under my Stagea bonnet even with a top mount with no lowering of engine mounts necessary).

Ok thanks guys

yeah am getting ready to build a rb25/30 to put in once I get my licence so no rush so want to take the time to get everything right

kiwiRS4T how did you go about 30 swapping your ride

what trany, head, internals, ecu, harness etc did you use

And have considered ls swap but want to hear that classic Rb growl And flutter

and personally think rb’s look better than an ls in a skyline

(Or vice versa, neo box should be pull clutch)

The r34 mounts should work on the 30 in a 34

Stock internals, just rings bearings and con rod bolts. RB 25DET head retaining the VCT. Link ECU in the original case. Because the Stagea was AWD I got an R33 GTR gearbox but big box RB25 would be fine for 2wd. Stock manifolds would be fine for 500hp+

Ok

Oops yes. Caught up in my own tonguetangulation.
