RB30 Manifold/ Extractor Help

[ll_luce]

So Ive decided to keep my VL a bit more original and remove the turbo for the time being as I also cannot afford to run it.
The car at some stage has had an engine swap I would say from the original Rb30 to a Nissan RB30 ( Judging by the rocker cover) So today went down the road and managed to pick myself up a stock Rb30 extractor/manifold that came from a Holden engine supossibley how ever it doesn't want to line up.

Edit: the Nissan gasket fits but not the manifold?

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Ben

spin the gasket the other way around?

[ll_luce]

Yeah but then it dosn't fit to one side. Not the gasket but the manifold?

[detox_nath83]

stud pattern should be the same... coz same motor and exhaust manifold.

r u sure u r lining it up right..


Keep the turbo on it never downgrade to an NA

Turns out it was a Rb25 Manifold >.< , Only reason im takeing it off is because ive got a trip from Auckland to Christchurch
and the owner that had it before me did a mean maori mean job on it. Going to keep the Turbo itself and the manifold and when I get the money for everything else will put it back together

Sure it's not an RB25 head?

*Edit* beat me.....

As bowdown has said......Don't bother with that clapped out plenum.....Get a half decent one...

And as detox nath said...The nissan rb30 is exactly the same as the holden one. Just different rocker covers.
