Forgive my ignorance but the bottom end for an RB31 comes from what? A VL Turbo? R31?

Spot on, RB30ET (Turbo) or RB30E N/A, plus forged bottom end (rods and pistons) with 87.5 mm pistons = 3068 cc's. Hence RB31 (3.1 litres). :D

Sydneykid - Unfortunately I'm having to sell her as soon as she's fixed so I need to do this as cheaply as I can but the RB31 engine could be my next project I think!

Doughboy - Thats the price I've had from 4 different places. Most quote AUS$4000 just for the Labour (45hrs x $90/hr) and a further $4000 for the crank!

I can get a RB26 for $5000 and get it fitted for free plus I take everything off my old engine - Turbo, Injectors etc which will get me some money back too.

I'll need to get some stuff for the new engine (another AFM/Filter, GTR downpipe, intercooler piping, ECU & loom etc) before I get started.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
