Well then. You're going to need a 200ZR cross member and a 200ZR sump from Japan. If your going to all that trouble, why not an RB25DET?

RB20DET is rated about the same as the V30ET for horsepower.

When it comes time to mount the scoop you bought off ebay I read this on z31.com

Interesting. The RB30 Patrol has a rear sump? I never heard of anyone using a Patrol Sump before, maybe because they don't have the Patrol in the US?

How much is the RB costing you. I got one sitting on my garage floor that I plan to put in a 240Z one day.

i would paint it orange with a black roof that looks cool.LOL
i dont know where i seen it but someone had a photoshopped purple over black 84 300 that looked real tough. good luck with the install. are you painting with 2 pak as it will be more scratch resistant for when you go to do your engine transplant.
well Cya

i believe you will need the loom & ecu from the vg30det and thats about it. dont take what i say for gospel tho, i think someone on here did this conversion, so see if you can get any info from him about it.

when the turbo is mounted up high, like near the a/c compressor or something. usually only done when the turbo is too big to fit in the factory spot, or if theres clearance issues in a car that wasnt factory turboed, or for pure wank factor.

never understood why nissan didnt just use the same crossmember for NA & turbo tho, you'd think only making one for both cars would be cheaper Rolling Eyes
