I am getting a gear box built so i will take it to the track once thats sorted out prob a month or so.

I brought the 4wd billit main cap block fron rips but the crank rods pistons and pump were mine.

The fuel system is a nismo lift pump a 5 lt custon surge tank with 3 x 044 pumps -10 fuel lines and sard 1000cc inj.

Brakes what are they? STANDARD a chute will pull it up ha ha ha na im going to put some alcons on it when i have the money.

Excellent results there ;)

Can I just clarify though, did RIPS actually do the bottom end assembly, or just supply the block?

I take it from that your surprised? Remember our $ is very weak atm and they are usually under nzd17k. Whats a bare OSG shortblock worth these days? Then add all the stuff I list below and you'll be surprised.

If you actually start to add up the work and parts that is in one of my COMPLETE bottom ends you'll soon see it is actually very good value for money for a well proven product.

Its not just a short block, it has a block brace/adapter, custom high capacity sump, 1500hp front damper, tomei oil pump (over 3k on its own these days) billet rods, forged pistons, hours and hours of prep and machining, water pump, cam belt, all new idler, tentioner, lower cam drive gear, washers and keys, oil system mods, restrictors etc etc, all balanced to perfection and at least 3 days spent on prep, blueprinting and assembly.

I've had a few guys say they can do a better job for a lower price and when I ask them to show me or prove it or show me time slips, not 1 has ever got back to me.........very strange :-)

What kind of maintenance would have to be done to keep an rb30 spinning at 9000rpm???? i would have thought that the harmonics and piston speed would decrease engine life by ALOT!!!

BTW: Love the twin 3037s looks awesome

we did my whole engine for $19000AUD...all JUN stuff...it ran 9's on its first outing...the same engine freshened up will go close to 8's on its next outing with new turbo set-up and proper gearbox. This is in a 1460kg GTR on street rubber.

Im not one of these internet mechanics who say things without the experience to back it up.

Not at all having a go at you...If you can get people to part with $19000NZD for a bottom end all the best of luck to you Rob. Well Done.

He did say just under $17k so thats like $13k AUD which leaves you $5k for the head and I take it you built your own motor too - this is the price he sells the short motors for retail as a business

Haven't seen anyone complaining about any of Robs products - his forklift motors are amongst the quickest around :)

just roughly adding that up in my head eats up $13k pretty quick - just because you can do it cheaper doesn't mean this package is not value for money

I think what R.I.P.S do is great value.

I got a rb26 rebuild quote from a Certain Really well known Dyno tuning shop in sydney and almost fell off my chair,

$15k AUD, and that gets you no more power than one has to start with.

Awesome results. Thinking back to the late 90s a lot the mega quick GTRs were running twin 3037 and 3040s and running 9s on goat tracks that are Japanese drag strips.

With a good box and fuel this thing would have you empyting your bowels in a heart beat ;)

...and lets not turn this into another vs thread. :)
