No, but you have to lower a 25/26 to fit them, and the rb30 is 38mm taller

you must use rb25 engine brackets.. then you mate them up with rb30 engine mounts |

we will see in 3 weeks if it fits... if not i was given another combo, r33 x member, rb20 engine brackets and rb30 engine mounts... if not i must use all this and space the x member 10mm lower for clearence for teh stock bonnett to close... s15 has a fairly decent sized engine bay... id say close to a skyline..
poeple hav fit 26's into them no worries, so we should be able to scrape 38mm somwhere |

When I did my conversion, the RB20 and Rb30 engine mounts/brackets looked identical..

QUOTE(bubba @ 3 Apr 2008, 10:13 AM) When I did my conversion, the RB20 and Rb30 engine mounts/brackets looked identical.. thats what i was going to say there are some slight changes but general fit up the brackets are the same across the board, RB26 is preety much the same as 25 height wise that extra 38mm is more than you would expect I guess its just a case of siting the motor in there and finding out for yourself but i reckon you will be doing custom brackets which is not rocket science for some one handy with a welder just out of interest what do you use the car for? -------------------- |

if it fits under the stock bonnet, I reckon the sump will be dragging along the road... or at least low enough to the ground to be of concern.

Was that the VH41DE? If so its good to know that it can be squeezed under stock bonnet?
