Getting an RB30E engine from Australia.

Parts list so far

R32 RB25DE head (or an RB26 head if I can get one.)
RB20/25DE Oil pump
HKS Cams and valve springs.
RB25 pistons (12:1 comp ratio compared to the stock RB30 10.5:1)
Stock RB30E ecu
RB25DET transmission (Sometime later, it will come with an automatic and that will do for now.)

Sometime later, I'll do a turbo setup (once funds allow for it.)

Sinco Exhaust manifold
Hypatec forged RB30 pistons

The stock internals are good for quite a bit of boost actually..

Nice project, I know of a guy in lucia who did it recently in an S14

Well this sucks.. The freight forwarder will not ship it because it's a used engine and is classed as a fire hazard or I pay another $2kAUD in customs checks

May have to go a different route or look for something local. Ls1.

It's annoying because I just ordered a 25DET manifold and 45V4 turbo, i'll probably sell them. An LS1 would be a miracle.

Y do you say it would be a miracle? They are cheap and available.

Well how cheap? Right now if I can find a RB local i'd lean to that
The RB30 was 200AU..
