Hi guys I'm new to the forum. Well I have followed the forum for years and have gathered much information from it. And fantastic information at that :) and after doing some digging around it seems that getting a rb30 block from aus shipped over is the way to go. So I was hoping if somebody could lead me to the right guy or company for a block.

I've had a nissan s13 for about 7 years now and had a rb25 in it for about 3 years and it's getting to the point where a forged build needs to happen. And my original plan was rb26 forged internals. But I thought hey why not go the whole hog and go for a rb30 build as the work seems pretty straight forward for me.

So any emails or information on where to buy would be amazing as over hear in the uk they are like gold dust :(

Looking for a series 2 which has all the oil and water feeds and drain. And the flat area above the water pump for the 2nd idler

Thanks mike

Ohh and I apologise if this is in the incorrect place. Please move of it is :)

After some helpful information from people I think I'm good to go. I can organise all the shipping all I need is somebody with a series 2 rb30 willing to part ways and who is willing to pallet it for me and drain the oil and water. So let me know what you've got

Mike

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
