Morning Steve,
Quick question, why are all the cars in your backyard damaged??????? do you guys get bored and play smash up derby *LMAO*
The good old drags, what were you running lap time, looks pretty stock, was it stock under the bonnet as well???
Looking forward 2 seeing you at the QLD meetup
Isn't it time for a QLD maintenance day, I'm sure the boyz up there would enjoy getting together for a day working on your rig.
Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time

He-he, yeh it only "looked" stock, it actually had a 500HP (flywheel hp) engine !
The night that pic was took at the drags, it ran a standing 1/4 mile (0-400M) in 11.4 @128mph, it would have run faster with slicks, but i wanted to run it just as i drove it around, (on 185/60/13 tyres)
This is the timeslip from the night....

I was looking for "any" 4x4 before i wrecked the torrie, then i thought, GQ Patrols came with RB30s, maybe i should put the engine into a GQ, and this is what got me looking around for my first patrol, only, a GU came up at the right price and the rest is history.....
Looking forward 2 seeing you at the QLD meetup

Howdy Steve, what dramas if any did ya have fitting the rb30 to the torrie mate?
IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK

The biggest pain i remember was retaining a cabin heater actually, ill tell you i needed to have a heater for roadworthy purpose (as a demister) but really truth is i dont like being cold
The copper heater in/outlet pipes passed through the firewall exactly where the aftermarket fuel rail sat, it looked and sounded easy to overcome, but i recon i spent longer solving that issue than any other single problem during the whole conversion.
I also had a limited single car space in my garage to do the conversion, the only way i could get the car in far enough to close the garage door at the end of each night, was to sit the engine back in the car, and fold up the engine crane and stand, i think i must have had the engine in and out about 30+ times, amazing how good you can get at doing it by yourself.
I had been running a 186 Turbo engine in it for about 10 years before, going to the RB30 was by far the best thing i ever did.
I can probly try and dig up a link to my build thread on it if you like ?

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.
