help please!

thanks does'nt look like a bad leak, just some bleeding into the dirt as for the brakes i think a set of pads/rotors and/or should do the trick and a fluid bleed. as for the engine sounds ok but who knows? at least a head gasket is an easy fix, just hope its nothing worse glad to have someone around whoi knows the motor, cheers

should i leave the wiring attached to the heater matrix thingy or just tape it up and bin it off?

Just tape it up.

Hi Timmy

Check the chassis very carefully. The chassis do not like salt (neither does the body for that matter) one of the main reasons you will not normally see a Patrol in an underground mine.

They all have their place and can be made to go hard

Stage 1; Fuel injection. Drop in an RB30E from an R31 Skyline or VL Commodore.

Stage 2; Drop in an RB25DET from a R33 Skyline.

Stage 3; Put the RB25DET top end on the RB30 bottom end for more torque.

Stage 4; Start modifying your RB25/30, the sky's the limit (speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?).

None of these will ever have the absolute bottom end torque of the big sixes, but they'll have a hell of a lot more power!

Hi. does anyone know if there is a difference between the heads on the patrol rb30 and that of the vl, vl turbo and the skylines??? I dropped an engine from a vl in m patrol but just bolted carbi manifold back on. I'm thinking about rebuilding the head from the original engine (from the patrol) and putting it on the bottom end out of vl (now in patrol) putting on the efi and turbo. Can this be done? is there different compression ratios or anything??

[YNOT]

As far as I know the RB30 EFI and Carby heads are the same. The naturally aspirated and turbo engines had different compression ratios, the turbo being lower. You could still run a turbo on the N/A bottom end but you will need an efficient intercooler and possibly retard the timing a few degree's.
