RB30 motor still on original crate - so I am told. Brand new......well, never used anyway. $2,800 ono. Located in Queanbeyan, NSW.

This RB30 engine was obviously purchased new through Holden many years ago as a back up for the previous owner's Holden Calais VL. But as you would expect of the RB30, he didn't need it.

Unfortunately it sat in a mechanics workshop for most of its life and some parts were taken from it. It is missing the front timing belt gear including the covers, bottom pulley/harmonic balancer and fan. The injectors were removed but a new set of Nissan injectors is included. Some hoses and a couple of screws/washers were also removed. Naturally it doesn't have the starter motor and alternator. It does, however, have the water pump, exhaust and inlet manifolds and depending on the price paid it may include the throttle body with cruise control linkage.

Basically this is a complete motor from rocker cover down to sump.

I got it to put in my R31 wagon as the mechanic advised me I would need to completely rebuild my current motor (it was dripping oil) but one new cam shaft seal and one all-nighter in my garage I fixed it myself. Anyway, the RB30 is taking up space in my garage that I really want back so I need to move it on.

If you are in the Canberra region, I can deliver it to your door. I will also assist in delivery arrangements for anywhere else.

Enough waffling on though, now for the pics.

      Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.

      Shifting questions

      Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!

      I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
