Hey guys me and a few mates are all getting our rb30ets refreshed, and have been given this quote which seems mroe then reasonable considering i know people who have spent alot more to prob get the same result. Anyway is as follows; "" clean block and parts for asembly, machine head surface, hone cyl, bearings, rings, seals, oil filter, thermostat, 500ml oil and asemble engine with new T-belt i can do $1450. (i prime all the oil galeries not just the pump thats why there is 500ml) i also prefere using using nissan rings over any other brand, i'll need to ring them and see whats available and double check the price. oh and of course a nissan head gasket. for $2000 i will check tolerance's, valve seats, replace valve stem seals, and put in a new water pump. this is with the asumption it won't need line boring ($500) or replacement pistons ($100 each for Nissan) or valve seat replacement or any other work done. "" Yay or nay?

I think that sounds reasonable.

If I had the block all apart being refreshed, I'd be upgrading a few things while its all apart.

Im only going standard rebuild but my brother wants to run alot more power then me, so apart from forgies what else would he upgrade?[/QUOTE] umm, where to start, rods, head bolts, oil pump, dude the list is endless...

shotpeened rods, oil pump gears, pistons, just to start

I had my block dipped, decked, bored, honed & cleaned. crank linished + rear speedy sleeve. Rods cleaned & hypertec 20 tho over pistons fitted. Assembled with acl bearings. Head cleaned, surfaced, valves lapped & camshaft installed. cost me about 2g.
