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.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
