Good luck in getting an RB26 block for under $600 in any condition, they are generally between $750-1000.

Then again I have a '94 RB26 block that has both bottom bellhousing threads snapped off that I will probably have to throw out.

NAH thats BS mate. I just got a 33 virgin for 500 2 weeks ago. You people think theyre worth oh so much but theyre not. Truth is its just a block. But they are becoming hard to come by...

Still got my block Manoj, i will take almost anything for it.

I've been casually looking for an rb26 block for over a year and even on ebay they all seem to fetch over $700 with machining required or for a prep'd ready to use block they are $1500.

You can do far better if you shop around! And MYRB30, as for your pointless bit of advice in your previous post. Thank you. There's always a idiot on this forum.

In the past I have bought approx 4 blocks in perfect condition for $500 or under. I know that there is a shortage these days but I'm willing to wait and shop around.

Reason I want a really cheap block is I'm trailing the OS RB30 method and I'm trying to keep costs down for the first test version. My next few engines will be built with n1 blocks and top quality parts. I don't mind waiting for awhile till I stumble on something around that price range.

Mat, I'll contact you sometime this week. We need to catch up regardless. Much to discuss!

Shop around where? I look 6 days a week on ebay, sau, import shops and friends and they still aren't cheap.

I'll probably be picking up an RB30 block next week and going the 26/30 route.

You cant find a block for your pathectic offering....I got one stored in plastic....I think we know who the idiot is.

Yes and its evident that you are! Hanging around a post that you have no valuable input in. Who cares if you have a block? It's beyond me why you have come on and posted in my thread. To voice your useless opinion perhaps?

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
