Hi all,
I've recently aquired a love for these little cars.. just love the shape... and with my other love for jap imports...
I was wondering if you could fit a RB25 in an E30? I HAVE seen it done once before... this guy was selling an E30 with the RB25 in it..
Is this really possible or was it just a typo?
Thnx

Guessing it can, seen a E36 with skyline engine, and if E36 engines go in E30s then you should be able to do this.

I nearly built an SR20DET engine'd E30 but went for an S50B32 for the cool factor in the end!
Should be fairly easy to fit the Skyline 2.5, they have the exhaust on the 'right' side for RHD cars.

I know that this is a common mod for the guys in oz, we get half cuts for about 2000 GBP andconsiderablly less than swapping in a bmw engine.
