Hey guys, First post so go easy on me haha..

Have a Forged RB30det R32 making 320kws with all the goodies etc etc... Had a problem with an oil pump failure which has lead to big end bearing damage and a possibly expensive rebuild :down:

Long story short just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good engine rebuilder in NSW or if anyone has had a recent rebuild from somewhere and what they've paid. This will be my first engine rebuild and im not sure what to expect pricewise.

Cheers

Nsw is a big state, it would probably help if you gave a little more detail of where in Nsw u are.

Get a nitto or tomei pump for the new engine, that will prevent u having the same issue in the future.

Depending on what u are lookin at spending it may be cheaper to import a short block from RIPS in nz.

it also depends on how much you can do you're self and how much damage is done, spun bigend could mean you just need to regrind crank, new conrod and bearings, fairly simple job, or it could be new crank line bore and hone of block as well as new conrod and bearings

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
