hey all, im about to start an RB30 twincam conversion on my stagea, need some advice on who are the best people for the job. ill be doing all the engine removing/refitting myself, just need someone to modify my NEO head and do one last mod on my 30 block, then bolt it together. i bought a RIPS 4wd RB30 block, its all set up for the conversion except for an oil supply to run VCT because id like to keep it active.

so that and the head mods and they need to be able to tune it for me when ive got it all back together... car is 4wd which narrows down dynos in the area but if the shop is good enough and only has 2wd dyno, i can make it run in 2wd.

so who do people recommend? i know esp do good work but ive also been told they charge alot for it. at the end of the day, im not rich but i dont want a shit job either.

+1 for Pro Engines.

I think you'll find that ESP and Autotech (def Autotech anyway) will use Pro Engines for the head work and any mods there anyways.

In terms of tune just talk to the workshops and pick somewhere that you're comfortable with. There's good and bad stories everywhere.

not really, heard they still did a bit of work from home but now one of the guys, phil, has moved to bathurst so i doubt they're still doing anything. while we're on them, the main guy (name evades me) has a very very nice r32gtr... tidy and subtle. still has skylines performance on the number plate too...

pro engines sounds like the go at the moment, checked out the website and they make RB30 awd adaptors so i guess they know what they're on about. will get in contact with them and see how we go.

anyone else anyone can think of??

      Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...

      r34 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.

      Luckily for safety applications, with dedicated links not being used for any other traffic, you simply run ProfiSafe (or an equivalent safety comms protocol from other vendors) over the top of ProfiNet (if that's what you're using, or Ethernet IP if you're stuck in the world of American PLCs and not verking vis ze Chermans) and the redundancy is more about being able to know that you need to cause a system diagnostic lockout because you've lost one of your comms channels, rather than not knowing that you've lost your only comms channel. Granted, heartbeats and all that are possible and useable and all that, but some safety applications are are so time critical that you might not be able to afford a few milliseconds until the next check.
