Up for sale is my RB30D long motor.

I had this built at MRC Dyno services in Castle Hill planning to put it into my R31. Unfortunately funds dried up and my wife and I are expecting our first child in September and I'm looking to start a new business so my plans of building an epic R31 will have to remain a dream for now.

I've looked high and low but I'm still missing the first and last invoices for $1500 and more than $2000 respectively, I will keep looking for these over the next few days.

I bought the RB26 head for $1200 and it came with adjustable HKS cam gears and cams. I cannot confirm the model numbers or the specs of the cams but they did have HKS on them, I asked the engine builder to measure them but he forgot.

The block is an A8 (VL turbo) block, static compression is set to 8.8:1 (fairly high compaired to a lot of 26/30's) and the conrods have been linished and shot peened. The motor is 'zeroed' and ready for completion.

Parts included:

inlet plenum

multiple throttle bodies

HKS inlet gaskets (throttle chamber gaskets)

HKS exhaust gaskets

Not included:

a few nuts and bolts (including 6 cam gear bolts)

flywheel

no computer or electrics

no looms

no exhaust manifold

most AAC stuff (hoses, aac valve, air chamber, etc) see image below:

In its current state, it would ideally suit someone with an RB26 looking to upgrade or swap out a blown RB26 or anyone willing to spend the time chasing up the bits (a lot of the missing bits people seem to bin when they strip their motors, you've just got to find someone before they throw them away - SAU would be a good hang out for this)

This motor and my plans for it were mentioned in my build thread if you want more back ground info:

I've spent close to $12,000 in total.

No offers below $9,500, my loss is your gain.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
