only 2 people, thats a fair effort :P

It went in with two of us as well... Poor car sunk in the ass "just a bit" lol

good to see you two got it out.

As for crazy fun, try standing a trailer on end. One personpushes motor against trailer while the other pulls the drawbar back down... Voilà loaded engine!

Didnt get anything done last night...cbf doing it with spanners lol.

But i did discover the motor has being rebuilt at some stage as it has .5mm oversize slugs in it, they look to be pretty good quality (better than the cast set I bought a few months ago).

Fingers crossed they are forged

if the pistons and bearings are all good just balance the thing and get the required modifications made, stick it back together with new oil pump, water pump and bearings. if/when it breaks go for the forgies as its not going for silly power.

needs new bearings as matty killed them lol,

I have a set of new rings ill throw in aswell

oh does that mean it already has all the modifications done to the block? that thing will be cheap and fairly easy to get going then. if you need anything machined on it talk to greg at pro engines, he is about 5 mins from your work and knows his RB30's.

It was my original 30 block, it went rattle rattle rattle... Quite loudly!!! Could be easily heard 100 metres off... Lol

told 'drew he could have it if he wanted to take it in as is cons as I was unsure of crank condition

Yeah thats what Im hoping for :ermm:

Im always chatting to Greg about stuff lol

mmmmmm. anything that is x matt is going to be well used lol. rattlle rattle is bad Matt lol. :(

time for chev me thinks.

From the call I just got... There's is supposedly "shavings" of metal through the motor... Lulz

I dont have pics atm but who ever did the machine work on the crank should be shot!

They drilled the crank to balance it...but punched a hole through the side of 2 counterweights! and didnt bother to clean up the large metal shards...so i could just rub my thumb over them the chunks of metal would come off.

also found cracks in the ring lands on 3 pistons and the rods look junk due to the same dodge machinist.

Ill get some photos of the thrust bearings aswel, because I lol'ed when i could move the crank back and forth 5mm.

So Im up for an entire rotating assembly for an RB30, might be a while before its done, but it will be done well

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
