Sorry to hear about all the drama mate..

I just threw out an RB30 crank on the weekend because its been sitting in my shed for the last 3 years!

Series 1 & 2 cranks are the same - its just the block that differs

Don't rub it in his face that rb30s are cheap as chips here! :)

hi mate,

that's one nice Z. I just went through that kinda pain in the not distant past...

in regards to your oil filter block. if the stock rb30 threaded screw on fitting is there, you might want to measure the exact diameter on it, then check the block sleeve.

My first motor failed because I left the 30 one on, which is a beez dick too small for the sleeve, and oil does not circulate properly, and caused the same failure that you have suffered.

if you do have the rb30 one on the block, you need to get another one, or rb25 one which has the thicker sleeve.

Those bits you found look alot like the woodruff key or keyway that holds fhe crank gear and balancer on.

Im putting an oil cooler on my rb30 thanks for the tip ecr33 i might have done the same...

But he found them in the head!!

Also on the crappy cometic gasket the rivets on the gaskets would need to be removed.

So thankfully I have a mill so port match the big boy head ports.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
