Hey fellas... I have been toying with the idea of starting another project... I've currently got an rb25det installed in my s14 with a few goodies... but I'm wanting something as sort of a side project (i'm about as far as i want to go with the rb25) ... I'm interested in the 3.0 the rb30 has to offer...

Ideally ... this block will sit in my garage on an engine stand and be tore down... bored, honed, new pistons, rods, crank balanced, new oilpump, new water pump... you get the idea... After i was finished with the block i would like to slap an rb26 head on top for various reasons (solid lifters/intake mani, etc...)

My only problem is.... I live in the states.... can't exactly find a VLcommadore anywhere around here.... I'm interested in locating a rb30eT (i'd like it to already have the oil feed/return and water feed/return lines tapped....

Who can i contact in order to have an rb30 shortblock shipped to the states?

thanks

-andrew

oddly enough, i just removed an RB30 series 2 engine (having all the required oil and water galleries already tapped, just blocked with bolts) from my daily driver. it spun a bearing on number 2 and the crank will need linishing, but apart from that it's all good. i also happen to work for a freight company, so i can obtain a quote for me to ship it to the states if you would like? which city are you in?

i would ship the thing for you for the cost of shipping + $50 AUD if you're interested. the only thing i need off the engine is the timing belt tensioner (for my RB30DET) but they are the same as the RB25 idlers which you have easy access to.

pm me if you're interested,

cheers.

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
