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!

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
