So from my understanding, your keeping the water pump the nitto oil pump and the ross balancer and still want 10k on top? I think that if someone has the cash to spend they will spend the $13,000 australian dollars on brand new from rips and get all the rest to go with it plus a rec of purchase for warranty and resale.

I thought the offer of 7k was quite fair for a second hand rips engine with bits missing.

What's a rips rb30 short motor worth with no accessories on it new? Technically speaking even though it's never been ran it is still now 2nd hand and like anything will more than likely only be worth 4/5's at the most of what it's worth new. Being a rips product your paying a fair amount for the name I'd say. I would have thought 7k for it would be more than fair myself. Many people have sold new rb30 built short motors on this site for 5k and less with a name brand pumps and balancers ect.

Goodluck with the sale anyway. Whoever snaps it up will have no worrys pushing 1000hp+ through it without winking a eye.

Cheers Josh

Have you purchased anything from overseas before? It never magically turned up. Also, bank conversion rates are quite a bit lower than advertised dollar values.

No bits are 'missing' It was purchased as a short block, with addition of 4wd adaptor and enlarged sump.

FYI, I agree, I've accepted multiple offers lower than the price originally listed but no one has came up with the cash.

See above.

If anyone is interested in making serious offers to purchase a never used RIPS block, below cost what it is to get one here without the wait, feel free to PM me.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.

      As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
