Hi as the topic states i have an rb30 block and crank sitting at my work and when i was pulling the block apart a found that the first counterweight has a hole in it where the balancing holes are. I was wondering if this would be repairable of look for another crank as a hole motor out here is over $300. Mr dirt? Any help or susgestions would be great and appreciated.

looks like a casting flaw...get it crack tested and balanced and if its ok re-use it...its only going into a forklift isn't it?

if its a street engine it will be ok if the testing says its fine.

what about all those marks on the end is that a bearing surface

it is not unusual to see this on 30 cranks . the factory balance hole has gone through the casting. be nice to use another crank just in case the metal comes off in the engine...we have them ready to go collar fitted, micropolished ,cracktested, oil holes tapped and plugged, cleaned to go $699. www.lewisengines.com.au

quite funny that... you must really hate sau if your goin to charge the guy $100 more than advertised price on your website.

oh. and the "specials" rolling up with the crank collar $125 and the part listed for $100... anyway...

haha you have more energy than me tonight.. i read one part section and couldnt be bothered goin any further.

thanks for pulling me up on that guys. its taken me 2 years to do that site all myself, at the beginning had no computer skills. tryin to run the site, ebay store and workshop by myself is my excuse for a few mis haps. cheers...........

Do any of you know how hard it is to proof read your own work? You can put so much time and effort into putting together a website and overlook silly little mistakes that anyone else is going to pick up first time they read it!

Give the guy a break and Darren get someone else to proof read your site and go over you current prices :)

I'd be more concerned about the fairly hefty oil pump seal (front seal) wear groove and the chunks out of the seal journal. is that damage local to that one area? it looks like the crank's been badly stored or handled and has gotten chipped by bashing into other solid objects. If you run it I'd be sure the marks on the front edge of the oil seal journal are polished out on a lathe or crank grinder to stop them tearing the seal lips, plus I'd add a bit of spring tension on the pump seal to accommodate the wear groove.

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
