Regarding the adapter I would probably buy it? I guess it's just a peice of ally with a load of holes to extend the sump fixings to match the RB26?
Do all blocks have the correct water feeds? And is it only turbo blocks that have the oil feeds? or do some N/A ones have them as well?
Thank you

The aussie blocks are just as good as the ones that came to nz, but they got them first and the first ones didnt have the oil feed. We get lots of jap imports in nz, so there are loads of r31 rb30's around.
The adapter plate is a piece of 8 or 10mm steel. I made a few a while ago for myself and a mate, I knew a laser cutter so it was cheap, but have lost the cad drawings. The best ones i have seen are the pro-engines ones, but are pretty exp, around $900 aus but its a complete kit, easy as to install and you dont need any trick machining.
All the later vl blocks and all r31 blocks have the oil and water feeds
