Hi!

First of all i did nit know where to post this so if it's not okay to post it here i guess admin will move the tread.

I am from Sweden and looking for a company in AU or NZ that sells used RB30 short blocks.

The engine was never sold in europe so it's har to get em over here.

I have tried to email RBthirty.com without any succés and now im looking for tips on a reliable scrap yard etc that might be willing to ship over seas?

I know RIPS sells with new internals etc, but it's quite expensive for me and i want to build the engine by my self.

Sorry for my bad english and i hope i can get some help.

Regards Jesse Westerlund Sweden.

its just a pain in the ass exporting a engine, otherwise i would help export from the UAE, its just that i don't have time or my time is best invested elsewhere...

fly to the uae, call me and il tell you where to go and you can buy them yourself and do all the work yourself... should be able to find 2 or 3 here without any issues anytime you need.

Im looking at ebay almost every day, but all the engines there are collection only.

I figure a normal person don't want to put in the time and work to export a engine, but hopefully a company will.

But the hard part is to find that company when you live at the other side of the world.

      Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car

      100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.

      It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.

      First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
