Yeh I realise that. My thinking is: the 26 is stock so you know it is put together perfectly at Nissan with the added piece of mind I have already tried and tested it. The 30 has been built by a shop and all it takes is one small thing to go wrong and bang...
Yeh I realise this... What I'm thinking I mite do is: I'm on a good thing with a very reasonably priced fully built 30/26. I'll buy this engine and keep my 26 and do the oil mods and have it as a spare... If the 30/26 lasts say 10,000km I'll deem the build reliable and then I mite think of selling the 26?
Cheers. Yeh if I am going to use the 26 I wouldn't be touching it internally. Just pitching if back in with oil issues fixed. If I'm going to start that sort of thing I may as well just throw in the 30.
Hmmmm yeh. It is responsive as is. I just wonder how much more it can be with the 30 bottom. Sorry guys, this suggestion of keeping my existing engine has has thrown a spanner in the works and confused me.
Budget isn't the issue. I just wonder if it is worth doing while everything is out... Who knows how long the stock bottom end will last?
Yeh not that keen on the 2.8, I think I'd rather the 30l. Cheers
Hi guys, I've been planning on a 30/26. The 26 I have has factory bottom end and worked head making about 500hp with all the bolt on to do so.
I've been out on the track with it a couple of times and had no problems.
Motor and box are out at the moment to put a extended sump and oil head drain.
Bought the car being told the bottom end was fully built. When we took the sump off we discovered it is stock....
So do I just put the 26 back in or do I go a forged rb30/26? The car will be 90% track. Cheers
Thanks guys! Yeh I have had a rear of just about everything in the rb30 threads.
Have many people had experience in leaving those bolts out? Or is there a kit that does line up? I thought the rips one did? Cheers
Hi guys, the last 30/26 I was purchasing fell through... I'm looking at another now but it is in a 33gtst (rwd). What will I need to do to it to get it into my 32gtr. Will it just be a sump adapter? Thanks, Jonathan.
Yeh and much easier to make money make-sell. The engine is split in head, bottom and sump so my engine builder can have a look before I hand over the hard earned.
Anyone else herd of them?
Yeh that is the reason I'm asking the question... It's only a very small deposit so that is no problem. On the web site they have said they are continuing to make parts/adapters but have stopped building engines.
Thanks for the reply buddy.
Hi guys, I have just put a deposite on a very built 30/26. The place that built it is in NSW and was called pro engines

Have you guys had any experience with them? Herd of them? I ask because they have shut up shop so I can't ask them about the build. Cheers
