Don't roll over that easy, it's the principle of the matter. If it's been done to you and the guy gets away with it, what's to say he won't do the same thing to someone else again later?

I say confront the bloke about it, but don't start accusing him straight up. See what he says when you question him about what you have found.

yeah i have confronted him about other things he said he put on the car but he didnt, but he didnt like it much at all he was getting so annoyed by me cos i know what am talking about but oncei get the head off and see what the real drama is i will definatelly give him a call and tell him a few things he might not like

yeah it was preety much like that lol am not really pissed off its just it came at the wrong time i was always wanting to build an rb30 that can withstand a real punishment. maybe this is my time, SPOOL has got a preety good stuff that he sells. but finding a trusted builder in adel is a bit hard u hear stories of other people and it just makes u wonder :(

thats y i do as much as i can, i am a car sparky but have a broad mechanical knowledge

build one yourself

I've got a RB28 built by James at Nisspeed in adelaide, its done 30k+ hard kms, seems to know how to build an engine.. ;) and does quite a few 30/26 & 30/25..

Can confirm hard km's ;) seen it in action

well well well oh boi do i have a story for you guys, well during the last 3 days i have been pulling my engine apart and i have found out that its only a standaard rb30 no VCT either, it has cracked a ring land like most rb30 do when pushed a bit. now this is supposed to be a built engine my friend got screwed over and i ended up being screwed over cos i bought the car, not blaming a friend one bit, i spoke to the guy that said "engine is built and he denied it, he was certain he built it blah blah blah. I then sent him a photo of the piston, and then he saaid he will see what hes gonna do about it, will be waiting for his call sometime this weekend.

now i am not a f@####n idiot and i am getting a bit annoyed by how much bullshit he can talk ohhh myyy.

ive checked the bore its a 85. something cant remember so its standard,

pistons are standard rb30, its even got a nissan print inside the piston

now cams that are suppousecd to be 270, 9.11mm are not

ive measured the cam lobe and calculated and my lift end up being about 8.9,

what cams are in it f*k knows?

now ill try and get some money of this guy at least for the rebuild kit which is 2k from spool imports

will keep u updated on how it all ends up being

so disappointing :( :(

Well just a lil update guys i have stripped the whole motor and will be sending it back to sydney for a rebuild by the guy who originally put the whole engine in the car/ rebuild. I have also found out a full story in behind this engine and it ends up that the guy from SMD workshop has bought the short block of anothey guy who wanted to do the conversion, so basically he has lied to the guy from the workshop that the engine has been done, it all looked legit with shiny pistons and all but pistons were only new rb30 pistons. I do appologise for calling him a lier and a bullshit artist. i just didnt know the full story but still doesnt change the fact that couple of the things he said didnt make sense anyway ill leave it at that. we just got off on the wrong foot. anyway. will be rebuilding the engine properly and hope it all goes well :)

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
