Don't roll over that easy, it's the principle of the matter. If it's been done to you and the guy gets away with it, what's to say he won't do the same thing to someone else again later?

I say confront the bloke about it, but don't start accusing him straight up. See what he says when you question him about what you have found.

yeah i have confronted him about other things he said he put on the car but he didnt, but he didnt like it much at all he was getting so annoyed by me cos i know what am talking about but oncei get the head off and see what the real drama is i will definatelly give him a call and tell him a few things he might not like

yeah it was preety much like that lol am not really pissed off its just it came at the wrong time i was always wanting to build an rb30 that can withstand a real punishment. maybe this is my time, SPOOL has got a preety good stuff that he sells. but finding a trusted builder in adel is a bit hard u hear stories of other people and it just makes u wonder :(

thats y i do as much as i can, i am a car sparky but have a broad mechanical knowledge

build one yourself

I've got a RB28 built by James at Nisspeed in adelaide, its done 30k+ hard kms, seems to know how to build an engine.. ;) and does quite a few 30/26 & 30/25..

Can confirm hard km's ;) seen it in action

well well well oh boi do i have a story for you guys, well during the last 3 days i have been pulling my engine apart and i have found out that its only a standaard rb30 no VCT either, it has cracked a ring land like most rb30 do when pushed a bit. now this is supposed to be a built engine my friend got screwed over and i ended up being screwed over cos i bought the car, not blaming a friend one bit, i spoke to the guy that said "engine is built and he denied it, he was certain he built it blah blah blah. I then sent him a photo of the piston, and then he saaid he will see what hes gonna do about it, will be waiting for his call sometime this weekend.

now i am not a f@####n idiot and i am getting a bit annoyed by how much bullshit he can talk ohhh myyy.

ive checked the bore its a 85. something cant remember so its standard,

pistons are standard rb30, its even got a nissan print inside the piston

now cams that are suppousecd to be 270, 9.11mm are not

ive measured the cam lobe and calculated and my lift end up being about 8.9,

what cams are in it f*k knows?

now ill try and get some money of this guy at least for the rebuild kit which is 2k from spool imports

will keep u updated on how it all ends up being

so disappointing :( :(

Well just a lil update guys i have stripped the whole motor and will be sending it back to sydney for a rebuild by the guy who originally put the whole engine in the car/ rebuild. I have also found out a full story in behind this engine and it ends up that the guy from SMD workshop has bought the short block of anothey guy who wanted to do the conversion, so basically he has lied to the guy from the workshop that the engine has been done, it all looked legit with shiny pistons and all but pistons were only new rb30 pistons. I do appologise for calling him a lier and a bullshit artist. i just didnt know the full story but still doesnt change the fact that couple of the things he said didnt make sense anyway ill leave it at that. we just got off on the wrong foot. anyway. will be rebuilding the engine properly and hope it all goes well :)

    • +1. Good thing is people wont tailgate you for a while
    • If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.
    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
