Newby here!!

Hey there,

Andy here, a newbie to this website. I moved here from England about 18 months ago now, and only just been allowed to buy a rig!! I'm new to the 4x4 scene so will be asking a heap of questions.

After reading a few forum questions and abit of research, I've eventually bought a '92 RB30, 1 owner from new and is clean as a whistle. Has just under 300k but I heard these cars were built to last so didn't bother me too much as it has a full service with it.

Haven't named it yet but its a standard motor and I'm wanting to give it a new lease of life with a few modifications. I'm going to give it a mini service ie oil, filters, and water/coolent changes, plugs etc but need a bit more power. A new fuel (carby) set-up is a good place to start?

After that, who knows... what ever I do with it, i'll be getting a few pointers from you guys first.


Cheers

Andy

Welcome Andy!

It's great to hear the handbrake let you buy a rig! Happy skinned knuckles, dirt and sand in the eyes and countless beers while modifying the old girl :)

I look forward to seeing pics, and hearing about your adventures!

Welcome to the forum mate, feel free to ask any questions and join in the conversations.

Welcome to Australia Andy, and NP.com.
Plenty of info here with top members to match.
The RB30 is a great mid sized motor and with some simple mods like intake and exhaust, EFI upgrade and turbo if you have some cash they can be a top little motor.
Im sure the guys will sort you out but quick search using the search bar top right of the forum will unload heaps os info..

So jump in, enjoy the forum, enjoy the outback and most of all the new rig.
Cheers

newby aswell

Welcome mate, enjoy the forum and OZ.

Welcome to the forum! There is heaps of info on here so good luck with it!

Thanks for the welcome lads.

I already have a few questions, but will get round to these when the boss is out the way!

Welcome aboard Andy heaps of info here for you,
Jump in and enjoy

G'day mate. Im over near Burswood. It would be good to meet up with the lads from Perth sometime. Unfortunately, i have the in-laws over for a few weeks so wont be able to get away.

I have zero experience at best with mechanics and also zero tools to mess around with the motor. Do you know any reasonable mechanics/garages that can take a look for a service and to see why the motor stalls/cuts out on hills. I read about the EFI conversion and a few threads on here but like i said, i haven't the foggiest as to what they mean and costs involved?

Cheers

Gday Andy welcome aboard mate

Hi Andy .. welcome :D
