Zhadman Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Every time I try to get to Nizpro's website it can't be found. Do you have a direct link? I didn't think they were offering the girdle anymore... am I wrong? It doesn't look overly difficult to design/fabricate... I'm sure that measurements could be taken from the stock girdle and a new piece could be machined (Assuming Nizpro no longer offers them)... it would just be costly. I wonder what type of steel they used... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wigenOut-S30 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 what about the GTR700 .. the GTR that made 1350BHP in austrailia.. I guess they didnt know about it? I know it has at least clicked a 8.2 @ 167. http://www.exvitermini.com/ Go under specifications and then GTR700. Pretty dang impressive..

Zhadman Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 That GTR700 is awesome... I've got some dyno vids of that beast saved to my computer. That was the one that bucked the dyno during one of its runs. The RB30 twin cam is kinda the bastard child motor of the skyline world (atleast... when coupled with the RB26DETT head). There are many who don't understand the logic behind taking a naturally aspirated 'taxi-engine' block and coupling it with the RB26DETT head... especially when the 26 block is extremely capable. I think the attraction to the 30/26 is it's cost effectiveness. It's torquey and quite capable of handling (easily) 500-600 hp. RB30e bottom ends can be bought (atleast in Australia) for about $200. Some crank prep, rods, and pistons can net you a 3 litre motor without costing a small fortune. You sacrifice some rpms off the top, but you get more torque and (it is reported) a wider/flatter power band. There are plenty of ways to increase the 26's displacement, but they are extremely expensive... anywhere from $7,000 to $15,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I searched here and have found that as of now, nobody currently ships RB30 blocks to the US, or mayb i searched wrong. But would any of the ausie members be willing to ship over sum RB30 short blocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkenmaster Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Try: http://www.sssautomotive.com.au http://www.ekw.com.au http://www.adelaidejap.com.au http://www.jaustech.com.au There are many import wreckers in australia, they are just a few. The links are from memory, if they fail, just google the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hat1324 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 the problem isnt in the shipping, its in the crazy tax. as soon as I get some other things in line I need to find someone who can ship it.. im gussing about $200USD for the bottom end. then $500USD for shipping and import tax. then i dont even want to use the stock rotating assembly... just the block and crank.. so Ill have some extra parts lol.

AKWIKZ Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I was planning to wait a bit longer, but this seems to be as good a time as any. I currently have six RB30 bottom ends sitting in Australia waiting to come up. I have been working on this for a while and it is just now coming together. I am finishing up the logistics and hope to have them here in the next 6 weeks or so. I have even purchased 6 of the correct timing belt for the twin cam head swap. The belts will be included with each of the bottom ends. I will let you guys know how things progress. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
