Ok Guys My Mate Is Buying A Vlt And The Guy Who Is Selling Said Its A Na But All Turbo Running Gear How Can He Tell If Its A A8 Or A6 Block

It will have an A8, or an A6 on it amazingly. From memory its found on the Passanger Side, towards the back.

right at the back, bottom, passenger side. take caps lock off you nooblet. and why would the dude selling the car claim its a factory NA motor when its not? sounds as dumb as you.

Very...... ... so "A6" or "a8" is just punched on the block ..by itself? obviously the engine number,but are they seperate?

can you see these numbers while the engine is in the car??? cause i can only see the numbers RB30 near the dipstick on the drivers side.

you can see it while its in the car, one on drivers side under engine mount (easiest one to find)

is that near the dipstick, i'm having trouble finding it??? is the engine mount blocking my view or something?

jeez some people are retarded

i think its either just to the left of dipstick, or just under it somewhere, maybe you need a torch? lol wont be any good if ur out in the dark haha

Im in the exact same boat as this guy, except i have the block out of the car. Mine has the engine number. blah blah A on the end, Then just Rb30 printed next to it. Looked up and down the whole block and there is no 'A8' or 'A6' printed anywhere at all.

Check the number near the dipstick, and look really closely at it.

I will but, dipstick is on drivers side... Okay looked, number is below the eng number, not next to the A, on its only on the drivers side near the dipstick not on the other side with the eng number

As Stone Racing said... If there is no numeral digit it will be an NA skyline block!

is that betta or worse to have the skyline block iv got the same deal.

its worse skyline blocks are all N/A a skyline never came out with an rb30 turbo! holden turbed it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Well that doesnt really make any sense because my block was from a turbo motor, Anyway i think i see some imprint of a 6 but its under the Eng number not next to the A, so either way my block is worth jack **** Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
