How do these stack up against Genuine Nissan bearings when it comes to reliability with a turbo'd RB...

I was looking through an excel sheet I have of prices of rebuilds etc and I remember City Dismantlers Supply and Rebuild a RB30E Short Motor with gaskets etc for $770. They use ACL bearings.

oh.. I found some thing for you 93RPS13...

Adelaide Jap Imports - 08 83691945

I think AUS country code is +61

They ship stuff overseas..

Anyway the short block ....

City Dismantlers find a decent RB30E short motor with good clearances then rebuild it with the standard Pistons. They do all bearings, hone, hot tub etc... Then gaskets.. It comes with a sump gasket.

Obviously they don't supply waterpump thermostat etc they do supply the standard RB30E oil pump that if you buy it you have to change to the RB25DET or RB20DET pump...

I thought that was a pretty good damn price and thats assembled.

I hada quick look around last night and a hell of a lot of 500kw RB30's even a RB30DET use ACL bearings with ARGO bolts.. I've never heard of ARGO bolts but they must be decent.

Same place they have diff phone numbers.

That City Dismantler info is interesting, do they use new pistons when they do it, what do you think the stock N/a pistons would be good for HP wise. We do a bit of work for city dismatlers truck side so it wouldnt cost me anything.

Sydneykid built an RB30DET a couple of years ago that has been making 260rwkw using a GCG turbo. That was using dead stock internals, chipped ecu, 550cc injectors, stock original pistons from the previous life of the engine, and has done 50,000km's with only regular servicing.

Apparently, the power curve was very linier and did not really feel like a turbo car at all. Which to me equals good traction or should I say controllable traction.

City Dismantlers use the old pistons for that price. New Nissan Pistons are $720.. Ouch.. May as well go for the Forged items for that price.

raaaaaaaaa I am supposed to be studying for Accounting and Psyc. I'd better turn off my email proggy for a while and just let Emule Download.. :D

ARIAS pistons are $1600 with rings. Apparently, the ARIAS pistons have better thermal expansion characteristics compared to other forged pistons so they are the better ones to get.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Absolutely could be. I collected data logs from when the O2 sensor was still out and also after I had replaced it so will try to compare them. Pretty confident that the affect is lowered with the new sensor, will check logs at the same RPMs/conditions.

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
