RB30 Facts, Figures and Helpful Hints

CARBY REBUILD: Had my carby rebuilt and set-up yesterday by an experienced bloke. Had done 320,000kms so time for a freshen up. The Patrol ran fine, smashed other 4bys on the sand... but niggly problems constantly running lean, wouldn't idle until fully warmed up, stalled after braking down hills etc. The full gamut.

PROBABLY THE BEST $300 I've spent on the car yet!!! Its almost a different vehicle hahaha! Idle's 10000000 times smoother, quieter, perkier acceleration, lots more low end torque and can slide around corners at 3,000rpm. The bloke said it had a blocked idle jet... so no more cold idle or weird vacuum problems either.

Wish I'd done it sooner. Just waiting to see how fuel economy turns out (previously 14L/100 fully loaded highway)...

Ok that's it, I've been thinking about having mine done for a while now, that's sold it for me, I'm getting mine done!

Mine also runs great, although a little thirstier (could be my driving), but it's done about 340,000 so maybe I'll get a bit better power / acceleration, can never have too much of that :-)

Where'd you get yours done?
