So from my understanding, your keeping the water pump the nitto oil pump and the ross balancer and still want 10k on top? I think that if someone has the cash to spend they will spend the $13,000 australian dollars on brand new from rips and get all the rest to go with it plus a rec of purchase for warranty and resale.

I thought the offer of 7k was quite fair for a second hand rips engine with bits missing.

What's a rips rb30 short motor worth with no accessories on it new? Technically speaking even though it's never been ran it is still now 2nd hand and like anything will more than likely only be worth 4/5's at the most of what it's worth new. Being a rips product your paying a fair amount for the name I'd say. I would have thought 7k for it would be more than fair myself. Many people have sold new rb30 built short motors on this site for 5k and less with a name brand pumps and balancers ect.

Goodluck with the sale anyway. Whoever snaps it up will have no worrys pushing 1000hp+ through it without winking a eye.

Cheers Josh

Have you purchased anything from overseas before? It never magically turned up. Also, bank conversion rates are quite a bit lower than advertised dollar values.

No bits are 'missing' It was purchased as a short block, with addition of 4wd adaptor and enlarged sump.

FYI, I agree, I've accepted multiple offers lower than the price originally listed but no one has came up with the cash.

See above.

If anyone is interested in making serious offers to purchase a never used RIPS block, below cost what it is to get one here without the wait, feel free to PM me.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
