Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
Such is the rule of honour.
haha funny you mention that.... i have been checkin out those conversions on marks 4wd adapters.....i didnt think you could do those conversions on the RB30..something about the transmission not being strong enough?? but that would be fantastic ...a nice v8....just the sound of it when i pull up next to my mate in his little vitara haha
Great to hear the comments on the fuel injected RB30 as my ST30 is receiving an ex Skyline RB30E this very week. And I am a tad excited. I too have had dramas towing; since we acquired a second horse, I really had to do something. (light horse box + a thoroughbred + quarter horse + tack + food = about 2 tonnes) My mechanic mate, doing the swap, doesn't recommend the turbo. He insists that he can get heaps out of the motor norm asp. Good luck Pete!
In between the manifold and carby is a metal plate with wire mesh. This is used when in extreme cold overnight snow and is meant to warm up the fuel. Take out this plate and remove the mesh. Put the plate back and bolt the carby back on. This will make a noticeable difference in power and performance.
I did this to my old rb30 and it was the best thing especially as it cost nothing. You will never need the mesh and it's restricting flow. Pretty easy to do.

Can I put a Holden badge on my Chevy ?
you can also use and i would r31 skyline ... nissan ecu or even better a motec or autronic this will allow a FULL dyno tune custom to you, there is also a HEAP of parts avail for the rb30 aftermarket gooies a such also the vl use an external fuel pump it just plumb s in line near the tank and is the same one as a vn v8 , if memory serves its a fpe 145 (fulemiser no.) i had one on my custom efi l20b bluebird too worked a treat well past 7000....
if it was me, i'd go for a rb26det but thats just me. Bang for your buck big time. Also Holley do a 4wd truck specific carb called the truck avenger. Apparently it has solved the flooding issues that they have with the needle opening right up on an incline and flooding the engine. Pretty good price too for brand new out of the us from somewhere like jegs performance. nearly half price of Aus. Just a suggestion anyways. they can also jet it to suit your eng.
well everyone i ended up buying a vl commodore and pulling everything that was needed from it then we wrecked the restof it and got the 600 dollars that i payed for it back plus ive got a spare motor outve it,,really want to thank my soninlaw as he did all the conversion for me.he did anawsome job.the gq has really benifeted right across the board..i have alot more power that i can feel,the missus me andthe two dogs just got back from our trip half way around ozz,we left gawler south ozz headed to darwin then across to broome,down to perth then across the nullarboar back to gawler towin our 1100kilo campertrailer.we averaged 20litrs to 100kms and most of the time we sat on 100kmh..i did have trouble near fitzroy xing when the motor started to run like a real pig and ran on about 2cyl,turns out that my leccy dizzy shit it.an easy enuff fix and i guess these things can happen whenyou are using second hand parts to do a conversion..overall im really happy with the conversion.ill stick some pics up later if i canworkit out,we put anice set of extractors 2.5 inch exhaust,a snorkle,upgraded the lpg system and the soninlaw made up a nice airbox for her..im rapt with it andas i said it was a dirt cheap conversion to do..being on a pension ive also found that parts for the motor including the complete motor can be had for bargain basement prices and are pretty much available everywhere..
Glad all went well and you enjoyed your trip. Sounds like you had a great time.
I loved my old RB30 motor. With the engine idling I could balance a 50c piece on its end on the rocker cover without falling over.
