Bump!!

Pics added Also for sale is a Brand New set of SPOOL RODS for RB30. Never been taken out of the packet, only for the purpose of the pics. $680 Genuine NISSAN VRS gasket kit for RB30/25. Has everything for rb25 head onto a 30 block, so rb30 head gasket. Inc rb25/26 on 30 cam belt, though it is used. $200

Cam Gears gone pending payment.

I have some stuff to clear out in way for my next project. Ported GTR head. Head has been mild ported, mainly to clean and de dag as well as smooth the ports. The valve bowls have also had a tickle to ensure a smooth laminar flow. Comes with standard cams, cam gears, cam cover, rocker covers, valves, solid shifters and shims. Missing, Most cam caps(just get a set of rb20ones and line bore it) cam cover backing plate, valley cover and CAS. $1000 GTR injector plate/inlet manifold(not plenum) Has been cleaned and ready to go. $300 hard to get... Performance Valve springs. Brand new, never used. Can use up to 10.5mm lift cams and higher rpm. $200 CAS/dizzy A rb30 dizzy has been welded on to the cas. My intention was to use methanol and as such use a MSD ignition system to create a fat spark. It was easier to do it this way than individual coil setup. Still uses standard rb25/26 CAS internals and wiring plug $250 Billet 14mm ally fuel rail Has 2 outside 1" bsp inlets and a central 1"bsp outlet. It has been die ground on the bottom of the rail to clear a manifold. Never actually been used, only to fit up injectors and manifold. $150 Tomei red adj cam gears. Old style. Used on my rb25/30 setup. still ok both $80 I just haven't taken pics yet, but will do so on monday Please PM me or call 0412957329 Thanks.

Hey mate, wasn't trying to have a go, but by the way it sort of came across like you actually didn't know to much and like so many people out there just gave a what do i do to get "a daily street car that does fast times". I don't have a problem helping people out on what mods to do if they know what they want and want to inform me and other what they are trying to ask for in terms of engine, or drivetrain, or electronics or whatever. There is so much stuff out there in this site it is rediculous, so thats why i said in my opinion go 30 bottom end, 3540 turbo, blah blah blah. You never actually said what you would like to do or budget. The only thing you said is that the car is auto. How is anyone going to give advice on little information. Well you can work out the engine part, but being the auto thread, It depends what you want for power output. The biggest and easiest thing would be to get a shift kit. A simple stage 2 shift kit. This will help stiffer shifts and any flaring between gears and prolong box life and help it cope with any extra grunt. You need a bigger oil cooler, or well an external to the standard radiator cooled cooler. Once those mods have been done and don't expect to pay more than $500 with everything fitted(if you can't do it for your self) the next place to go from there, get a higher stall converter. Try for about 2800 or there abouts, depending on turbo setup. That will let the engine to increase revs higher and get greater torque to the wheels, then it'd really start to cook. With 250-300rwkw and just that setup, expect 11's or at least low 12's and your box could/should handle it. The rest is up to you. Rob

Yep, coz you've sat it for some time, the engine has had some condensation in it, and where does it condense?? the rocker cover so you'll see it in the cap, drive it for a decent run and it should be gone the next time.

You do realise this is the "automatic performance thread"?? what exactly are you looking at?? do you want info on your auto?? otherwise post a thread or read the countless threads out there on what to do. Mate my reccommendation would be to drop a 30 bottom end in and wack a 3540 turbo on. Perfect daily.... Trust me. Don't f**k around with minor mods unless you want a basic car. Just my opinion. Don't need to do timing belt till 100K, not going to get you any more performance, well i doubt much anyway. Its not as easy as spark plugs. What do you want to know about your auto though??

Hey, better than the triptronic, i think i have mentioned it, but seriously get the 300zx box built. Same as q45 v8, they are unreal and don't need much to be able to take heaps of power. The auto man i take my boxes to, wollongong auto's, said to leave the box standard, with just a shift kit in it which is good for about 500hp maybe more(can't remember exactly), then later go get it built with a few choice bits and you've got a f*ken strong 4 spd box which will take more power than just about any other box around. and it all fits and wires perfectly in to standard harness!!!!

Cool, its for a rb30et only anyway. Will give them a call tomorrow Thanks Rob

Where and who did you get the precision pistons through?? anyone heard of these being ok?? Can't say i've really heard of them.

All sold..

Bump, couple of enquiries, lets talk buisness

bump, these can be used for rb26/30 head conversion and will prevent heads lifting up on high boost applications.

Hey i have some brand spankers arp head and main studs. Head studs are for rb25/rb20 and main studs for rb's in general. I have decided not to do the 25/26/30 conversion, and have gone for just a smaller setup but on 2 engines, so want 2 sets of rb30 head studs. So price, well rb25 head studs, $270 rb main studs, $200 Please PM me or sms 0412957329 Rob Im in nsw, but willing to post at buyers expense.

Hey guys, just letting everyone know, i finished installing the RE403a auto into my R31 S3 skyline. The conversion was a little more than i thought was going to happen, but that was mainly due to wiring problems from changing over with manual auto setups back to electronic auto's, but besides that, i'll pass on all the info i can. Ok first off, the auto was from a y31 cima that had a VG30det. Now apparently these boxes not only have big internals, but the output shaft is bigger again, which is stronger. Not sure if its bigger or better than say a 300zx, but hey. I needed a bell housing off a RB as the VG is different, and also a flex plate from the same. Now i used a R31 S3 bell housing and flex plate as i was able to pick it up for a bottle of wiskey, you can use one from a rb25 or something, but they are about 500-1000 from just about anywhere i looked but are exactly the same. Now the tailshaft yokes are dikfferent. I was able to use a yoke from a 300zx or even a VLT manual gearbox. I just used a second hand one and whilst i was at it got the centre bearing replaced. I was lucky, i didn't need to get the standard tailshaft cut. All up cost me $260. A full built single piece with larger uni's and tougher uni housings will cost around $6-700. It seems the output housing is slightly shorter to allow for the longer main housing, so it is pretty much the same length, it is slightly different, but within 10mm or so i think. The standard crossmember can be used, but i had to make some tabs up to move the crossmember back 18mm, not a prob with some 5mm plate and a drill and grinder. hehe The stock shifter is fine, no adjustment needed, same same. I had to use the r31 dipstick tube and stick, as the vg one doesn't line up to the rb bellhousing Standard converter lines up fine, though you can't use the a RE401 converter as the pump drives are different, however you probably could if you change the pump drive element or the whole pump, pretty easy. The wiring from each auto is same same, so just unplug one, install new auto, plug in and away you go. Just remember to swap the speedo sender drive over. The 300zx one is a 2 wire and differnt plug, however the base is the same(part that has the gear attached) just the sender. So there you have it, to upgrade from the stock RE401 (from S3 r31, rb25 auto) to a beefier but plug in box, which with the right internals can handle up to 1500hp and still be a 4spd. This is my pick. Any other questions on the conversion, PM me Rob

Hey guys, i have a problem, hope someone can shed some light. I've just finished doing an engine build and gearbox swap. The motor is stock and i've just mated it up to a 300zx auto(re403a) Now i started the engine, no probs, ran it for a bit, but when i tried putting it in gear, it shut down. Now i think the oil level is low, but is that enough or is there a signal sent from the auto ecu to engine ecu telling it to shut down?? Now its not power that the gearbox is taking from that is shutting it down, as i accelerated, raised the idle, all sorts of things, so dunno whats going on. Any help would be appreciated Rob

Hey could someone find and buy me a chev 350, and i'll send off a rb30 in return I'm sure chev's are like rb's over there... hehehe

I think the reason people are getting all riled up, is because the fuel is cheap, fairly easibly accesible(bowsers) and has great performance possibilities without the need to drain the fuel system after every night of racing. Plus people can use drive their car to from the strip and still use the same settings. Although for the majority of us, ANDRA's not goign to check the fuel in our tank before we go for a run on a Wed night or probably even at a Jambo or sport compact event. Mainly for those bracket meets and what not. Yah dirt, feel sorry for ya for the setup. Kinda sucks setting up only having to change the system again, although no doubt the system would be fairly similar.

Yah kewl. I have heard of boxes reversed, mainly C4's and the BMS valve bodies, but not that many. Yah no probs. I think i'll keep my standard forward pattern. I like the fact of going through a higher gear to get to neutral, not go down gears. The bands activate 1st, planetary sets are the actual gears. You also have clutch packs to activate gears. 60mm bands doesn't really mean much. the type of material does though. the planetary sets are prob just standard which i think are just 4 pinion, though not 100%. 400kw is just to let you know how much power it can handle, though, you should always go stronger than what you need, gives you lee way if you start putting more power through. I don't necessarily think this box will handle that 400kw with just those mods. who knows wether its engine kw or wheels. only manufacturer will. generally the shift kit will help shift changes, as they mdify oil pressure and the like. enjoy Robb

Hey i signed, but i can't actually see where it says that e85 is banned on the web page http://www.andra.com.au/subpage.asp?Page=A...uels&Menu=9 It says at the bottom, Any fuel produced by an oil company that is available to the general public through a retail petrol station bowser in at least three ANDRA divisions. Can anyone interpret?? does that mean the fuel can be used?? Dirt, i believe you about the price thing though. Why would you (for the average racer) go out and spend $4-5+/L for a pretty good blend of rocket fuel. Saves tying to measure out ratios of toluene, just roll up to a servo and fill up!!

Yah pretty much. Depends what you want out of it. If it is full manual, you can just use an intercept box. What box you want to put into it?? your in the states yah?? might find it hard to get a full kit for rb25, though not sure. Although a trans from a 300zx or q45 box(re403) and just get a bell housing for an rb and your set. You may have to get a tailshaft made/modified. Nice, yah i think Dizzy in perth has done the same thing. Good box. I just got my re403a and rb bellhousing. So can't wait to drop it in. How do you like the reverse pattern?? would feel kinda weird shifting backwards..

Hey got one now, disregard this wanted ad
