Rb30 With Nitto 3.2 Short Motor


Recommended Posts

Location Sydney NSW

The Story

Got a rb30 block i machined up, was going to stick it in my r31 to make the na 26/30 a 3.2L but have decided to go down a different path,

Motor is currently un assembled as i had put down a deposit for the stroker kit and that's as far as i got

I have machined the block using a kit we had here at work;

The Details

Work done;

Acid bath

Bead blasted whole block

drilled out press in plugs replaced with screw in type

bored and honed to 86.5mm/ 3.405"

angular grove in main tunnel

Line honed main

Drilled out oil returns to 10mm

Notched top of Welsh plug housing on exhaust side

Tensioner stud relocated according to guide

dummy assembled

Notched bottom of bores for con rod clearances

ground sump rail removed 0.004"

Ground water pump/ oil pump area, removed 0.003" (was slightly bowed)

Ground to 0 deck height

Painted black with rattle cans

(no awd conversion, no 12mm gtr stud conversion)

current parts

ARP main studs

ACL race series rb26 main bearings

ACL race series rb30 big end bearings

The Price

Asking price $11,000 for assembled short motor

will need $5,000 up front to pay off rest of kit so crank pistons and rods can be balanced and assembled

EXTRA INFO

(make 100% sure you have the whole amount as once the kit is paid for, i can't give refunds until another buyer has paid if you decide to back out)

(assembly will include ring gaps, bearing clearances, bearing crush, crank end float measurements. I can't give warrantee as i have no control over how its run in or driven, and that im not a business)

Will upload pics a little later

Contact me via pm (i hate giving my number out on a public forum)

Block has been machined to suit a stroked nitto crank

(pm sent)

Will upload pics on weekend

Had a quite a few PMs with similar questions;

can you hold onto it? Im expecting some money in the next month or two

Sorry but i wont be holding onto something as 90% of the time they never had money to begin with

why not get a refund on the kit and just sell the block as is

1) i put a deposit of 1,500 back in October, either i pay off rest of kit ($6,500 retail price, $5,000 owing)or get store credit, store doesn't have anything to suit the 31 that i don't already have, or it isn't going to go with the next motor im going to put in

2) highly un likely to sell block by itself at a price to break even

how much for un assembled?

$10,000

low ballers

Just stop trying, not interested in swaps either

postage

Happy to send from work if buyer organises it

Final price drop $9,500 firm crank bolted in, ready to assembly pistons and rods (will even chuck in a free half empty clevitte assembly lube bottle)

kit is still collecting dust

Pistons have a 5cc dome, which will make it 8:97:1 static comp (with 64cc combustion chamber and a 1.2mm thick x 88mm bore head gasket)

plus with sump rail machined, its ready to have a pro engines 4wd sump adapter added on with a little notching on the outside
