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!

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

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.
