The Nissan RB30 SOHC is an Aussie legend — powering the Holden VL Commodore and later forming the base for countless turbo conversions and hybrid builds. Born from Nissan’s RB family, the 3.0-litre single-cam version became Australia’s backyard tuning hero — cheap, tough, and capable of making incredible power with the right parts.
In the late 1980s and ’90s, the RB30 earned cult status for its bulletproof bottom end and love of boost. Pairing the long stroke and strong block with modern turbo tech, tuners found these engines could handle huge power with forged internals and good tuning. Today, the RB30 remains one of the most loved and modified straight-sixes in Australia — powering everything from VL Turbos and Skylines to wild RB30/25 and RB30/26 hybrid builds.
At Spool Imports, we’ve built our RB30 performance range around what works for Australian builders. From forged short-block kits to valve train upgrades, oil system improvements, and fuel and ignition upgrades, every part is designed for reliability under high boost and big horsepower.
- Forged bottom ends: H-Beam, Drag Pro or X300 conrods (upgradeable to ARP L19 bolts), forged pistons and billet crank options for extra strength.
- Valve train & top end: upgraded springs, retainers, cams, and gaskets for improved flow and durability.
- Oil system control: high-volume pumps, baffled sumps and pickups for improved reliability under hard acceleration.
- Fuel & ignition support: injectors, surge tanks, pumps and coils to support your target power level.
Whether you’re staying true to a factory-style VL Turbo build or combining RB30 strength with a twin-cam head, Spool Imports has the experience and components to make it happen. Every part we sell is tested and proven by Australian engine builders who push these motors to their limits.
