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 :)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
