Hey all, as you all might notice, im new around here and was just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm interested in a RB30 Engine Block, complete with crank, rods, pistons, waterpump, oil pump etc.

Can someone point me to a forum or someone I can buy it from or enquire further about it?

Thanks

Edit:

Lol, just saw the "rank" thing saying in RB20E and it just so happens that I am presently driving a RB20E powered cefiro A31!

Ok im not from Australia. Or from Adelaide SA... Not even sure where that is.

However, I am from Trinidad, West Indies.

Now that's the other side of the world, but the reason I came onto this site is because I cant find it anywhere else on this side of the planet.

What will the prices of a block be? On average! If I was to buy it in Australia? Id need to work out shipping after, But first id need to see if its worth it or if I should just stick to a RB25 build.

The RB30 block are only available in AU so you would have to import it.

Thats what I had to do for mine.

You can get them from site like this: http://www.rbthirty.com/

Or, you probably are fimilar with your local forum : http://www.trinituner.com/v3/

There are a few guys that do importing of parts that might be able to help you out.

I was on there looking for A31 parts so I have talk to the importers from there, they are willing also there is a whole section on RB30 conversions here I suggest you look around there.

Good luck but search around there is alot of info here too: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=RB30+conversion

The first link says there are currently no rb30 for sale...

Also, for to get in contact with someone locally to bring it down will be a REAL BIG TASK.

The minute you ask them personally to do something ur paying big bucks for it! BIG BIG BUCKS. So it would come out cheaper for me to probably buy it from someone. And they put it in a crate or something and ship it down for me...

We brought a few in at the same time with a bunch of other parts so selling those basically paid for my block and then some, if you can swing it I suggest you do the same.

Again good luck

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
