Hey guys / girls,

Stripping my rb25 motor down tomorrow and just spoke with the mechanic and he mentioned that forged pistions might have to come from the states and can take 6 weeks to get here?

Surely there is a website or w/shop down south that sells the above parts that I need here in Australia?

Does anyone have any recommendations on who I can speak to or web links I can have a look at to get the parts?

Any help will be really appreciated. I tried looking but I'm not having much luck :rofl:

Wow thanks SO much!

I am sticking with the 25 now shanef. Too freaking hard to go the 30 bottom end here in Darwin, I just gave up. I had 365hp before she blew so that's enough... if I change my mind down the track (which I don't think I will) I will do something about it then :D

Edit: There is a gallery of photos from the rebuild. Just follow the link in my sig to find them. I haven't updated them since the engine was pulled out. I might go to the w/shop this w/end if they managed to strip it down today, and get some more pics to upload!

RB30 isn't difficult..

Quite suprising how easy it is actually. :D

Depends on how motivated your mechanic is. Some have been in the job too long and can't be bothered with something they haven't done before.

Haha... It's been off the road over 3 months now and I just don't care. Even if it went back to what it was I just want the bloody thing back!! I don't have any other trnasport apart from it so catching lifts or having to borrow cars is starting to shit me right off :D

I sell all of this stuff as well. The pistons can come locally but most people prefer to wait the 4 weeks for JE, ROSS, or CP.

For JE pistons with rings and pins, eagle rods, and HKS camshafts you will be looking at $4000

The Cometic head gasket with VRS set will set you back $700.

Thats fairly exxy..

I picked up my rb25 cometic mls for $150 (through the machinist) and vrs kit for $275 from nissan.

I went the Rb25 hg as it works just as well and the rb26/30 cometic gasket was double the price.

Thanks heaps for all the replies guys, and all the PM's. I'll write everything down and add up my figures. I am not after brand names, I am after reliability. If there is something there that does the exact same job that the HKS / Tomei etc do... then I'll take it.

I have heard the stock rods and cams are both good for 500hp? Has anyone else heard this? I am still another 100hp off that figure so I could save some $$ in that area if the rumors are true.

To everyone that PM'ed me, I'll get back to you in the next couple of days.

Thanks again for all your help. I wont worry about o-rings either. Sounds like they aren't needed.

      Google says for a 1998 Nissan Maxima to pull/pry, and the metal pin might even come out with it. I'd do a bit more googling, there was a few videos, find some where the shafts/needles appear most similar and compare the techniques.

      FS - RB30 Turbo upgrade bolton turbo kit - 600kw

      By Predator1 · Posted

      Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.
