Hi guys if you hear of any rb30 blocks or rb25de or rb25det heads for sale around town could you please let me know. Dont mind what level of assembly the block is as i will be sourcing my own pistons and rods, would be good if it has a crank, as for the head, the more assembled it is the better it is.

thanks

I've just started the same project haha

Sweet, joint thread? Lol

Yeah mate. I am still trying to source the right block. I want the rb30 series 2 block of course. Had a few ridiculous offers from some wreckers. So basically we are both after an rb30 bottom end.

what were the wreckers after for them? whats your price range? ill see what i can do. is it just the block or with pistons, rods and crank? with head? or going 25?

I just want a complete rb30 s2 bottom end. I already have an Rb25det head on my car that I will use.

I got figures of 500-600 from some wreckers down Queanbeyan way.

I understand the going rate for such an engine should be not alot more than $100-150 based on what other people i know have paid for same engine type

SII has the holes for oil and water for turbo whereas SI have to be drilled. that is all.

i have heard prices as low a $50 for just a bare block. also if you can get a RB25 VCT head that would be best. RB26 head is a bit of work to fit. but is superior.

Yeah they go pretty cheap so I am not spending more than i have to on the stock motor. I will go all out on the upgrades. I just need a half decent motor to strip and go from there.

All RB30's out of R31's are Series 2, the just have holes for Oil/water as RB ONEVIA said. Only the VL had Series 1 RB30's.

I haven't seen any RB30 block that has been broken, ever.

And, I've still got a free RB30 bottom end. I have no idea what condition it is in, I just wanted to get rid of it so it's been sitting outside for a little while now.

Also, I haven't been looking but R31's/RB30's don't seem to be appearing forsale as commonly as they used too.

R31s started and finished a year before VLs so i dont understand why they all had SII blocks.

And also, with the s1 block, do they still have the flat surface where the threads usually are for the oil and water lines? Or are they from a completely different cast?

no idea on that. as far as i know the only difference are the holes for the turbo lines.

That looks like the Lewis engines one, Go see Greg at pro engines, he can get cranks from melbourne, If not i have a crank that might be usable (note the might part)

A collar is a good idea as the 30 cranks only drive about 3mm of the pump gear and are prone the breaking the pumps,

Once again Greg can do that for around 350 fitted.

    • How to wreak havoc at a bogans party... Swap out the goon bag hanging from the clothes line with oil bag... Watch chaos ensue during Goon of Fortune....
    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
    • Did you find that your voltage of the battery wasn't where it's normally supposed to be? for example on my r34, it's at 14.5v when running after a few seconds, but I noticed when I had a rough start and it initially wasn't idling correctly, the voltage on my triple gauge cluster was showing lower than usual. Seems like the alternator is starting to crap itself
