Rb30det

RB30E Pistons in AUS are from Nissan $720AUS.  

Joel, just a thought, but have you found out what the price of these pistons are from holden? I say this because I have found in the past that when you get rebadged cars, the same parts are always cheaper from the aust company than the OS one.

I got a water pump for my brothers telstar, when they were rebadged mazdas, and the same part was 3 times the price from mazda as from ford!

i agree. it was just abit of advice, sorry if you took offence.

never meant to incinuate that you were stupid, i mean, i dont know jack about C+ or whatever programmers work with, doesnt mean i'm stupid!

no problem, but i just wanted to get out in the open that i am not going to jump into something that is over me head and not research it, it cost money and time

RB30E series 2 how do you know if it is a series 1 or 2 ???

[Cubes]

If you are working with the non turbo block the series two will already have the turbo's oil provision already drilled and tapped.

Drilling and tapping on a series I block is not a problem however. So really it isn't much of a concern. Just makes life a little easier.

My other half said she is going to write an email and get me temporarily banned as she said I spend to much time on it when I should be studying for exams

[93RPS13]

my mom always says to study for exam and such but she keeps forgetting that it is the summer no school

where can i buy an aftermarket head gasket for the RB30E on the internet? Thanks

[Cubes]

You will be after a RB25DE Head gasket as they are exactly the same as a RB30E Head gasket.

Maybe pop down to your local nissan dealer and see if they can bring some bits in and what they can bring in.

Nissan in Australia bring every single part for the skylines in to the extent that you can get individual gearbox bearings for a gearbox rebuild.

Actually come to think of it doesn't the RB26DETT head fit straight on to the RB30E bottom end.. You could possibly just get a RB26DETT head gasket and that will be the same.. bore is the same size etc..

I'll check up on it..

[93RPS13]

yea because that is what i want to do put on a RB26DETT head with the twins turbos, thanks for checking it out for me

[Cubes]

It should be the same as the R32 RB25DE head bolts on to the RB30E bottom end because it doesn't have the VCT however the RB25DET head has VCT which causes the small problem due to its oil feed.
