hi guys, a few of my mates have rb26/30,s now including me. but if we have a crank failure in the future, maybe a bearing spinning etc we have no spare rb30,s cranks, what kind of money can you guys get them for and what would be the cheapest way to get them to the uk..we are in no rush really but could do with a couple of spare std, un ground cranks for the rb30,,bernie

As above: The complete block is worth about $100, but then you would need someone to remove the crank, prep, pack and post the crank.

I would guess that about $200+prep+postage is a fair price.

prep= Making sure the crank is in good condition and is not warped/cracked/scorched/etc. The last thing you would want is to receive a unusable crank.

The extra $100 is to pay the person to remove the crank and send it to be tested.

I reckon a shitload.. a 24kg crank from aust to uk would cost tripple what the part is worth..

What the part is worth in Australia maybe, but here in the UK RB30's fetch a massive premium. If i could get a container full of RB30 bottom ends for $100 each and ship them to the UK i would do as they cost between £400 and £600 here ($850-$1250 aud)

Is that a business proposition?:D

If we send you guys all our RB30's there won't be any left for us :)

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
