Gents,

i've heard that alot of really powerful cars arent made in clean and tidy workshops, they are made in backyard sheds with little old blokes who use die grinders and can tune cars by listening to them instead of a timing light.

sorry about the rant.

Yesterday i'm pretty sure i spun a bearing, and tonight i will have the engine out of my car and be able to check. Can you guys send me some links to good engine builders, presumably the cheapest option would be guys who want to just build the short motor and i can do the rest. i'm more than happy to strip the whole engine and dismantle all.

Also, is it better if i give them the long motor and have all of it bolted up by a shop? i don't see why? thats all.

Great things come to those who wait.

I reccommend Paul from Red R Racing too

+1 for Paul

I usually recommend only two workshops for engine building

If it's south of Coffs Harbour, Paul from RedR Racing

If it's north of Coffs Harbour, Dan from ERD

I know my way around an rb motor, personally researched everything over 3 years to build my n/a 26/30 i work at the moorebank branch (link below)

though depends on where your located too

hmm do you really?

i have my rb30 crank with ross balancer, press plate etc im picking up today?

are you the one that helped me when i was dropping the parts off?

    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
