    Pretty sure they are. Why do you need to change it? Just was it out, it'll run a little oilly for the first couple but won't hurt anything..
    The diesels don't have pumps in the tanks, so just add an inline one.

    It's only for the first tank.. And that was no clean lol.
    If you remove it and slosh some petty in it I'm sure it'll be fine..

    I haven't change but a club member did a 2.8 to vs1 conversion.
    I'm not familiar with the rb30 engine. Does it have a mechanical fuel pump like the tb42?
    If it doesn't I'd say you'd need a fuel pump. So instead of stuffing around fitting an In tank pump fit an in line pump to supply fuel.
    Mate who did the ls1 added an inline pump.. Not very expensive.

    Just had a though with your other loom thread, the rb30 is a skyline motor so no pump built in.
    If you shop around it seems Stock pumps good for 500 hp are around the $180 mark.
    Ofcourse you can go cheaper for less pressure.
    If you go efi then you will need the bigger pump to supply the Fuel rails up to pressure..
    I'm sure it's all adjustable..

    Looking at a turbo??
    Cheers

    Yea it seams a lot of stock parts floating around from vl turbos and skylines.. And Its a very competitive aftermarket battle to which helps lower prices..
    What sorta power you looking at? 250??
    Cheers
