does anybody know where i can get aftermarket parts for an rb30 bottomend. i am trying to build up an rb30det but i live in the states so nobody here has any idea of what i am talking about when i mention an rb30 so i cant get parts. i am looking for beefier internals that will hold up with the conversion.

Interesting....

I never knew you could get aftermarket stuff like that for RB30's

If you are after specific parts, you are probably better off to make a list of exactly what you need, that way people know exactly what you're after, and will have a better chance of helping you out.:uh-huh:

Look for hi-po vl turbos in the magazines. They will just have expensive American bits in them I reckon. You can get pistons/rods/bearings any size these days. the stock crank if tested and balanced properly will stand up to a lot of punishment. I intend to put a rb30 block and crank under a gtr and look for the other side of 300kw / 400hp. People have, and do do it!

Dont have to. Just look at what other people have put in, for the same kw you hope to achieve. Stock bottom end balanced with good bearings and a new/reco oil pump would (im guessing here) suffice up to 250-300 kw. Depends what you hoping to achieve. Send an email to some of the shops that have done the big hp VL's.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
