But, still! OOh a 3.0L RB, it makes me tingly.
Does anybody know how to read? Sheesh..
The 30DET was never released as a production motor by Nissan or Holden (GM), but is a semi-common engine swap in Australia. RB30 block + 25DE head or 26DET head. If you use the 26 head + ITB's / intake you would need not worry about the blocks deck height / hood interference. (I had to cut my hood skeleton due to the stock 25 cross-tube intake manifold. Converting to GT-R intake / ITB's shortly.)
It is not a swap for the weak of heart, nor the shallow of wallet. Easily expect to invest USD$ 12-15,000.00 for this swap, and that is doing everything yourself (except machining work).
Easier solution: Just buy an imported R32 (or maybe even an R33) GT-R for 12 grand instead and be done with it. Period.
