thehehehehehe....*sigh* Americans and RB's......when will they learn.....
Twin cam RB's were never made from the factory (only RB30E's and ET's) even then they were contract motors (Designed by Nissan for Holden to put in their VL Commodores), and could only be sold in Australia and New Zealand.....hell they wernt even sold in Japan.....
The saveing grace is due to the same bore size of the RB30. RB26 and RB25. This means you can put a twincam head from a RB25 or 26 on a RB30 block....all the oil and cooling galleries (not on VCT modles.....you can get around that) line up and you can use a std RB30 head gasket.....
If you don't live in Australia, give up.....sorry.....unless your really keen and get a motor imported from here to the states....hell RB30E's go second hand for around $400AUS ($300US), RB30ET's are very rare, and expensive, due to the fact thatpwople want them in their VL drag cars.......some cars run 8's....

Rotorua Import Performance Shop in New Zealand would build you a RB30DET to your specs. The guy to talk to is Rob Ward. From what I've seen on the SDU website he's very knowledgeable. For some reason I can't seem to get to the SDU site to get his contact info for you, but try going to http://www.skylinesdownunder.com/ and searching for RIPS.

Yeah and those workshop's are not cheap!...JPC in melbourne australia has the fastest VL Commoredore with RB30ET SOHC doing 8's...
yer i know nice as... hardcore engines like the jpc one i think would cost u a fair bit but they should have stock ones around for a relatively good price

thats good for 300+rwkws (450+rwhp) with close to 450Nm of torque!!
or you could get an "OSgiken" 3L bottom end for around the $25000,OZ dollars, use an rb26 or 25 head put it all together with some other goodies $$$$ put it all in a r32 GTR and some tuning and testing, run it on street tryes and should be good for 9's, an $8000 engine which could push a r34 gt-t into the 11's seens like a bargain??
Does any1 have pictures for the RB30DET i want to see how is it and stuff, i have heard gr8 things about it. lol ya the pricetag i a little 2 damn high for me, I am gonna stick wiht RB25DET.
