so i went down to advan and asked for a quote to do an rb30det for me they said 5450 dollars and thats if i provide pistons, the block, all gaskets, oil pump, rod bolts they also said that they'd have to do some work on the head which they will provide all the parts for.

is this expensive? or not? is there somewhere with the same quality of work only say a grand cheaper lol 5450 is a bit over board if i can save a grand and put that towards a new turbo or something would be nice.

Any advice, contacts or workshops given will be greatly appreciated!

5.5k sounds about right.

Take off a grand for enine in/out and 4.5k sounds pretty much spot on the money. Maybe a little high. But not really anything i would question.

Rod bolts/oil pump isnt that expensive, and im sure if you asked them to source pistons they would.

Good work costs money.

I've learnt the hard way many times, you try and cut $500 here, $500 there with people who might have some expirience, but its far better to pay people that know the most.

whats enine? hmm yeah your right, just sometimes they are very expensive to deal with and almost always the quote is about a grand less than what it ends up lol

2. rods? or just rod bolts?

3. block (obviously)

4. engine gasket kit

5. Metal head gasket (again i dont want very low compression coz i want good torque figures too)

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
