Shane, Thanks for the feed back. The other day I spoke to one of my friends that worked at a speed shop that has done a few RB swaps. His feedback backups what you said. He said that they went with the Mckinney's solution. His comment about Castlemaine's kit was that flat metal would not hold up well to the torque that the RB30/26 combo would be putting to the car. He also said that a modified stock transmission carrier from a Z32 or R32/33 was best suited for the S30. I will go with his recommendation since he has done several RB swaps in S30s. Oh and he said he would give me a hand with the install. Can't refuse free help!

Never mind I found it with a Google search. Castlemaine Rod Shop. Any feedback regarding this kit would be appreciated. There are a couple of shops here in The US that have a similar offering but, I'd rather buy from an Aussie shop as the rb30 is not a rarity like it is in the US and speed shops obviously have more experience with it.

Sorry if I'm putting this in the wrong forum. I figure this is the best place since its related to the RB30. I saw a post that linked to a Aussie speed shop that has a production engine mount kit tailored for the Datsun/Nissan S30s. Can someone point me in the right direction or repost that link on this thread?

Thanks guys deal went south. Looking for another block to work with.

Hi Everyone. First post on this forum and jumping into the RB world. Like title says need help in verifying if this is a Series 1 or Series 2 block. Any and all comments welcome.
