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

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it

      Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
