I have one in brisbane. It's been rebuilt in 2006 and had only done about 5000-10,000km max before the car it was in was rear ended. It is a series 2 block and has 20 thou over acl cast pistons, standard rods and acl bearings. i believe the block may also have been decked slightly. make an offer if you want it. I don't want too much for it as I have too many engines around at the moment. I also have a good running series 1 rb30 out of my one owner vl wagon that i recently bought off the original eldery owners. It will be out of the car within the next week or so.

I have a bare RB30 block (not sure what series) with crank and cradle that came out of a VL wagon. Not sure of kms.

Will let it go for $300.

Located in Wollongong NSW.

First up sorry for the delay... Been flat out these last 2 weeks :(

I have a bare RB30 block (not sure what series) with crank and cradle that came out of a VL wagon. Not sure of kms.

Will let it go for $300.

Located in Wollongong NSW.

Bare RB30 block is good... Does it have the machine area at the front to fit a new tensioner and does it have the holes for the turbo lines on the right side of the block?

To be honest, $300 is very pricey. Can get the whole motor for $350-$400. What's the lowest you'd go???

Hey bud, sounds pretty decent. Just need you to give me a starting point for a price - don't want to unintentionally throw a ridiculous price at you. Plus I gotta figure put how much it will cost to get it freighted to Sydbey!

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
