hi guys, a few of my mates have rb26/30,s now including me. but if we have a crank failure in the future, maybe a bearing spinning etc we have no spare rb30,s cranks, what kind of money can you guys get them for and what would be the cheapest way to get them to the uk..we are in no rush really but could do with a couple of spare std, un ground cranks for the rb30,,bernie

As above: The complete block is worth about $100, but then you would need someone to remove the crank, prep, pack and post the crank.

I would guess that about $200+prep+postage is a fair price.

prep= Making sure the crank is in good condition and is not warped/cracked/scorched/etc. The last thing you would want is to receive a unusable crank.

The extra $100 is to pay the person to remove the crank and send it to be tested.

I reckon a shitload.. a 24kg crank from aust to uk would cost tripple what the part is worth..

What the part is worth in Australia maybe, but here in the UK RB30's fetch a massive premium. If i could get a container full of RB30 bottom ends for $100 each and ship them to the UK i would do as they cost between £400 and £600 here ($850-$1250 aud)

Is that a business proposition?:D

If we send you guys all our RB30's there won't be any left for us :)

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears.

      Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P

      Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information

      What kind of power delivery are you after? If it's nice and linear, the 0.86 would be better. If you're after bake tyres and head snaps on boost the 0.64 would be fun. I'm boring and old, so linear power is preferred. Lately I've been watching videos on Z06 Corvettes and super charged Mustangs....

      I’d go the smaller rear just because you’re staying on 98, if e85 I’d go the bigger one
