sweet thanks mate how do you decode them and do you think i will need to get an engineers cert for putting an rb30 into it

Yep, it would have to be engineered to be legal.

233, 2 meaning Berlina, 3 for V8 and 3 for 3 speed auto. Also LV2 denotes for a 304 V8.

And it would be backwards putting a RB30 into a V8 car.
