alright its not that straight forward then.just thought everything i need would be in the 30ltr apart from the clutch.

well it is quite "straight forward" just not as simple or as easy as you'd like as i found out doing an engine swap from 2.0 to 2.5... engine mounts are very... "annoying" and the horrible coolant pipes everywhere and then theres the different radiators (if it's manual or auto) as the auto has the plug holes for the oil cooler pipes)

Staightfoward but obviously you will need to swap over the flywheel,ecu etc to match.The 2.5 has the r25 gearbox which will be marginal with the 3.0 torque (3.0 has the r28 gearbox with bigger bearings)and the 240 mm clutch is common to 2.5/3.0.
