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

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
