Still looking for RB30 blocks. Preferably as complete as possible with crank, pistons, oilpan etc. Preferably closer to Perth than Kalgoorlie though...

are they just empty blocks or do they come with any internal parts?

Hi! I´m looking for a RB30 Engineblock. These are supposed to be common in some older Commodores, correct? Are there any scrapyards or similar in the Perth area which would have these? Cheers!

I´ve come to the same conclusion... What if.... That´ll suck!

Sounds like it´s worth to pay them a visit. Should be alot cheaper if I just get the gearbox of and hand that one in... should save some money on labour...

Did they do all the labour then as well? Or did you take down ur gearbox and left it with them?

Hi! I´ve got some synchro scrape/noise when switching to fourth and fifth gear. I´ve been told that this is a common problem with the R33 manual gearbox. Who in Perth could rebuild an R33 gearbox and has someone got an idea what it would cost?

Hey, not trying to stir things up, but I´m new in Australia and was just about to order a carbon fibre hood for my R33. Why is it illegal?!?!

That´s great! Thx alot!

Is there an authorised Autronic dealer in Perth?

The quote was from Turbotech, and that was for a original turbo with the ceramic wheel.

1600 + GST for an original stock RB25 Turbo... 2200 + GST for an upgrade which would almost be equivalent to a GT30BB 100% bolt on with all the necessary fittings.

I´m not too sure... I come from a town in Sweden with 100 000 people It´s a "little" bit bigger over here

I´ve emailed them for a quote, I know that they probably can´t give me a firm price without having a look at it first, but hopefully they will be able to give me an idea of what type of coin we´re talking about... I´ll post it when I here back from them....

I know that there´s no leak, it´s definatily the turbo which is whining. I´ve scrapped a couple of turbos before back in the days when I had Saabs Never scrapped one on the Cosworth though... better quality perhaps

This is great! Thx very much!

I´ve used the search function, but haven´t found what I´m looking for. I´m new to Perth (and Australia) and I´ve bought myself a Skyline a couple of months ago. I´m looking for a shop/company that rebuilds turbos, mine has started to whine quite a bit, and I don´t want to buy a second hand turbo. Looked through the consolidated work shop thread as well, but didn´t find anything there? Perth is a pretty big city, someone have to be able to rebuild a turbo? /Hampus

Sorry for interupting your thread, but I´m also making plans how to make my R33 GTS-T go faster at the moment, and came to the conclusion that the original turbo is crap. Is there any companies near the Perth area that rebuilds turbos and could maybe fit some other nice internals?

Here´s an explination of the term "Ricer" from Mike Merryfield. (US) http://www.garaget.org/video/cksmekqpfxsn lol

Hi guys! (and girls?) My name is Hampus and I just moved to Perth from Sweden. I bought a R33 GTS-T -96 a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully that car will turn out to be just as quick and fun as my Cosworth back in Sweden.
