Hi

Am just fishing atm but am looking for a good used RB30 bottom end

Block, crank and cradle is about all I need but if a short engine then so be it

If possible would like to find a good block on standard bores and a standard sized good unground crank

Block does need to be the right type with oil, water and lower tension provision already in place mind!

I have someone who will help collect/ship it to me, so can now try find a good usable unit

Preferably near or around central coast/ Sydney area?

As for price let me know what you have as don't mind paying a fair price for a good sound unit

cheers

Hey mate I have a complete RB30 in newcastle that has all the correct provisions for turboing if you are keen. But I am not home for 3 weeks. Located newcastle.

Could be up for that if you know the bottom end to be all good on standard size bores and crank ?

Pm me a price if you could as I will need to confirm collection is ok still before I can deffo say yes

Came out of my mates running R31, bottom end started to get a little noisy and he swapped an RB20 into it. Pulled the bearings and sure enough they had just started to go. Can confirm absolutely it's virgin bored and standard crank. Can also supply pics of bearings if they are still on my phone.

Ok if its no grief and you know the crank to be 100% good still and deffo unmarked then it could still be a go

If it is scored or picked up am not up for that though. Post some pics of the parts if you have them and an idea of cost?

tbh I don't want to get into using a crank that's been ground or needs it mind.

Fussy sure but having it shipped over here it needs to be right first time, sure you can understand

    • Hey guys, Just want some advice on r34 GTT ac system. Since I’ve owned it, the ac compressor, doesn’t matter the set temperature or ambient temperature, runs for around 10 seconds then disengages the clutch, then re-engages everywhere 30 seconds or so and keeps repeating this.    is this normal?   I had it recharged today as it was slightly low and thought it would fix it but still does it. it cools fine in summer even prior to the recharge, except for the usual warmup when stopped or in traffic (still yet to wire overheat fan to on with ac)   any thoughts would be much appreciated 
    • To plug the hole. The engine plant may not have known whether the car it was going into had a gauge or not. It was a long time ago and the integrations might not have been fully modern. Or they might not have cared because the extra inventory and processes to save a few cents on the sender might have cost more anyway. But please tell me you are not still confusing the idea of a pressure gauge sender, and an oil pressure light switch. The switch will be out there. In a separate hole. Probably with only one wire running to it. Running the light.
    • Blower needs to go low on the exhaust side, displacing the AC and PS, which you have to decide whether you want to keep and how and where to relocate if you do. Electric option for PS is, at least, helpful. Sadly, there is no workable 12V electric AC of any value. Whilst the blower is the last compression step before the throttle, and so it might seem a good idea to have it near the inlet manifold (as mentioned above), you probably want it to go through an intercooler first, so, having it on the opposite side of the car facilitates that air flow path. The turbo discharges into the blower, so proximity of the turbo's compressor outlet to the blower's inlet is nice. But then you might want to intercool that too, before boosting it again....which would probably be a ball ache. Routing pipes out to the front and back could be a bit shit. If there was room for (at least) a small (but preferably larger) water to air core on that side, then that would probably be the best approach. I guess a reasonable alternative would be to locate the blower where the alternator is (more or less, associated with the inlet manifold, per Matt's thought), and somehow incorporate a water to air core into the manifold, sort of like they do for modern blown V8s. The big difference here though is that those V8s have only the one throttle (upstream the blower) and only the one compression step (the blower) and no need for too much in the way of bypass/blowoff valves. Whereas in a twin charged 6, you do need to think about one or two bypass valves associated with the 2 compressors and you would prefer to have the intercooling done before the air has to pass through the throttle. You'd like the throttle to work approx the same no matter what the compression is doing. But if it is located in hot air stream before a cooler, then sometimes the air will be real hot, sometimes it will be quite cool, and the throttle mapping/response will be quite different between those two cases. The throttle, if sized for hot air, would be too large for cold conditions. It's all a ball ache.
    • Package SC on exhaust side. Remote mount turbo. Still a fair bit of room when you get creative on the inlet side of the motor too. Especially if you can get really creative with the welding, and effectively build it into the bottom of the inlet manifold. Would definitely take some design work, and some trial and error, to make sure flow works well still! Might be easier to just start with the Nissan March though... All the work is already done for you...
