Hi all.

Just recieved my 4 x RB30 blocks today.

Is there any difference in the RB30 blocks? Aka. series 1 or series 2?

Are all the RB30 blocks the same from the factory?

How to tell a turbo block from a NA block?

And yes, this time I have searched. hehe. :P Could be I'm stupid at searching.

be easier if you took shots of the exhaust side of each block and the front face too.

then comments can be made and you can log them to each block

but yes, there are differnces in the turbo drain return, and front tensioner locations etc

This is a Turbo or Series II block

Besides the feed / return lines I am unaware of any other differences between a Series I and Series II block.

I believe the Turbo block used a higher flow oil pump but not 100% sure.

I also believe that the pistons in a turbo block have a dish, again, not 100% sure.

I wish I knew a place that sold cheap rb30's here! Every wreckers I go to wants over $300!!!

Feel like selling some N1GTR? lol

I bought them from Spool imports :) He has been very very helpfull. My car is the only one with RB25DET here in denmark, and now its going to get a RB30DET instead. (200sx - s13)

The price is just fine, as i have sold the 3 others, so my own engine hasnt cost me a dime. :) But need to choose the one I want.

I will be changing pistons/rods/bearing etc. And use RB25DET oil/water pump.

The thing I'm after is if one block is more prefered than the other. (only block) If a turbo block is more suited for turbo in any kind over the NA block. (remember I will be changing pistons/rods/bearings etc)

Also, if I coat the pistons will the oil squrters be required to fit? (I know I have to drill and tap for them)

EDIT: Sorry for picture qaulity, its my cell camera. Hope you can see it good enough

Also. The crank pully. There are 3 different?!? How come is that? Only 2 are the same, the other 2 has different pullys. Some use a slotted pully, other doesnt, on there are size difference on diameter.

The RB25DET crank pully, will that fit the RB30 crank? (Im am not using power steering and AC in my car).

the 3rd pully on the crank is removable on the RB30 crank pully, which is good as i dont have any space infront of the engine for my water cooler. So a std RB30 crank pully with the 3rd pully bolted of, would that be good enough?

Cant find a place here in Denmark that can acid clean the block. How should I clean it out then? Spray my own acid cleaning agent on and wash it down? There is alot of "stuff" in water channels. Could I just use something to remove it? Like when cleaning a shower for limescale, I think its called.. (Water that builds up over time stuff, dont know the english word)

Thank you.

Right now I have begun to read the entire RB30 conversion thread. 346 pages.. damn. Have read the .pdf from Cobra30

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
