Hi!

First of all i did nit know where to post this so if it's not okay to post it here i guess admin will move the tread.

I am from Sweden and looking for a company in AU or NZ that sells used RB30 short blocks.

The engine was never sold in europe so it's har to get em over here.

I have tried to email RBthirty.com without any succés and now im looking for tips on a reliable scrap yard etc that might be willing to ship over seas?

I know RIPS sells with new internals etc, but it's quite expensive for me and i want to build the engine by my self.

Sorry for my bad english and i hope i can get some help.

Regards Jesse Westerlund Sweden.

its just a pain in the ass exporting a engine, otherwise i would help export from the UAE, its just that i don't have time or my time is best invested elsewhere...

fly to the uae, call me and il tell you where to go and you can buy them yourself and do all the work yourself... should be able to find 2 or 3 here without any issues anytime you need.

Im looking at ebay almost every day, but all the engines there are collection only.

I figure a normal person don't want to put in the time and work to export a engine, but hopefully a company will.

But the hard part is to find that company when you live at the other side of the world.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
