My spare engine is the one thats screwed. My twin cam engine needs some work on it as I'm not totally happy with it. I wanted to rebuild the twincammotor with a rb20 manifold and t28 (cause it will bolt on). I can't afford to do the turbo this yet. If I keep the car I'm going to need to get the gearbox rebuild as it just doesn't feel right. Bloody autos!! How much does an rb30et go for?
check the trading post, dude.

I am but I can't see a single one.
You might have trouble finding one..... normally about $1500-1800 complete.
if your planning on spending all this money, why not do something original and make yourself a rb30det, make it a dual cam mate, using the rb25det head, then youll have a quick car.

The motor is fixed. No need to worry.
I may have a complete RB30ET for sale soon if you were still looking for one.
keep working on the other engine build it up strong. and whistle it. :D :D :D

if only I had money... the twin cammer has gone back to original owner now. If I could just get a hold of a RB30ET that would be sweet.

Twin cam is too dear to finish and complete properly...... for me anyway. I may in the future, but for now I just need a turbo.
