RB30 block and R25/26 head build
Has anyone done this conversion in SA or have information on it? I've been reading up a lot on it on the skylinesaustralia.com forum. They have a whole section on RB30 conversions which is very interesting but I'm wondering if anyone has experience building one here

RB25SX what would you be asking for the motor setup?

Re: RB30 block and R25/26 head build
Was going to continue with this build but opted not to. Hence my delay... Thanks rb25sx, I was interested but I'd rather go 2jz for that priced lol. Although it is a rather interesting motor you've got setup there. I see you are based in somerset west, I'm durbanville side if you perhaps want to get in touch

Re: RB30 block and R25/26 head build
You are forgetting the little part about the RB30DET dropping straight in vs having to change a crap load of stuff, including the exhaust routing to get the 2JZ in.

Re: RB30 block and R25/26 head build
Haha yeah I am aware of the straight drop in although I'm not so concerned about the change in motor setup. I've done a 1jz conversion in a s13 so I'm sure I can do another in my r31
