Please dont use peoples personal details (eg surname etc)

You can hand that over once you have a buyer as whilst the person uses this forum (like most people), its still a deal done away from the forums.

I've edited the post to reflect this privacy unless Gary is happy for it to be posted, then he can PM me.

Cheers

Looking at that RB30 makes me wonder why Nissan did not go that extra bit and make the mains cradle 4 bolts on the bearing caps.

It would have been so easy for them, especialy on later RB26 engines when they realised workshops were turning the RB's into 1000hp monsters and needed the strength.

Would have stopped all those RB blocks splitting I think. (Not that this one will if built by Gary :blink:

Hate to say it but some of the Toyota engines seem better in this area.

Good luck with the sale -wish I could afford it for "DogZilla"

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
