The Story

Got a rb30 block i machined up, was going to stick it in my r31 to make the na 26/30 a 3.2L but have decided to go down a different path,

Motor is currently un assembled as i had put down a deposit for the stroker kit and that's as far as i got

I have machined the block using a kit we had here at work;

The Details

Work done;

Acid bath

Bead blasted whole block

drilled out press in plugs replaced with screw in type

bored and honed to 86.5mm/ 3.405"

angular grove in main tunnel

Line honed main

Drilled out oil returns to 10mm

Notched top of Welsh plug housing on exhaust side

Tensioner stud relocated according to guide

dummy assembled

Notched bottom of bores for con rod clearances

ground sump rail removed 0.004"

Ground water pump/ oil pump area, removed 0.003" (was slightly bowed)

Ground to 0 deck height

Painted black with rattle cans

(no awd conversion, no 12mm gtr stud conversion)

current parts

ARP main studs

ACL race series rb26 main bearings

ACL race series rb30 big end bearings

The Price

Asking price $11,000 for assembled short motor

will need $5,000 up front to pay off rest of kit so crank pistons and rods can be balanced and assembled

EXTRA INFO

(make 100% sure you have the whole amount as once the kit is paid for, i can't give refunds until another buyer has paid if you decide to back out)

(assembly will include ring gaps, bearing clearances, bearing crush, crank end float measurements. I can't give warrantee as i have no control over how its run in or driven, and that im not a business)

Will upload pics a little later

Contact me via pm (i hate giving my number out on a public forum)

hey buddy how much as is un-assembled wat has been done to block have u already stroked it..very interested so if u could pleases give me a call so i can find out a little more from u..im joel u can reach me on 0478739988 anytime , thanks for time..

Block has been machined to suit a stroked nitto crank

(pm sent)

Will upload pics on weekend

Had a quite a few PMs with similar questions;

can you hold onto it? Im expecting some money in the next month or two

Sorry but i wont be holding onto something as 90% of the time they never had money to begin with

why not get a refund on the kit and just sell the block as is

1) i put a deposit of 1,500 back in October, either i pay off rest of kit ($6,500 retail price, $5,000 owing)or get store credit, store doesn't have anything to suit the 31 that i don't already have, or it isn't going to go with the next motor im going to put in

2) highly un likely to sell block by itself at a price to break even

how much for un assembled?

$10,000

low ballers

Just stop trying, not interested in swaps either

postage

Happy to send from work if buyer organises it

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
