  1. i personally dislike the 35,

    while it did impress me at first, then i found out how the entire car is a "throw away item"

    (my personal experience working on these)

    09, 10 have a shim over bucket cam follwer, 11 & 12 have a solid 1 piece bucket with a stem on the inside

    the 09/10 cylinder heads IMO are better as you can get shims made up and generally you order them thicker for the intention to grind them to suit the clearance you want

    the 11 & 12 you will need to have nissan make up the solid buckets to suit the valve protrusion, if you get the measurement 100% perfect and matches their measuring tools

    the bores are plasma coated, cannot be rebored or even honed as the coating is only 2 thou thick, darton will be releasing a sleeve kit quite soon

    cranks cant be ground either due to their coating, spin a bearing, buy a new crank

  2. Cleaning up the ports or de dagging removes restrictions

    professional porting as in re shapping enlarging the right spots etc will increase a cfm flow best suit to the lift your chasing

    my 26 head flows best at 0.420" lift,i couldn't go larger without affecting the air velocity which you can go larger with forced induction so 10.8mm lift works perfectly in mine cause the ports can flow up to that much lift, putting 11.3mm lift cams in would make me loose power cause the head doesn't flow at that lift

  3. For the rb30 bottom end you will need longer duration on the exhaust,

    Surecams are the only custom cam grinders left in nsw

    And i doubt dirt garage has a cam grinder, a clue or even a qualification with some of the shit I've had to repair of his "handy work"

  4. Rd blocks - unless your going full drag and intend to completely fill it, waste of time

    head bolt holes line up, rb cranks fit fine

    you will have to make sure 100% there is no diesel oil hidden anywhere

    drain back holes don't line up

    rear drain back on exhaust side of head won't have anything connected to it

    water jackets don't line up

    there is not enough material to relocate the tensioner in the right spot

    casting is f**k all thicker

    does have oil squirters

    water pump, oil pump rear main seal housing fits any other rb parts

    a spacer plate and sleeve job would be cheaper then an rd block

  5. small updates;

    new seat

    new dash

    2012-04-24153437.jpg

    got new wheels

    thursday night;

    7:30pm trailing arms came out

    old bushes next to new ones

    2012-06-07191820.jpg

    8:30 trailing arms went back in

    9pm leaving maccas

    9:15 noticed dash was dull

    9:20 car dies on cumberland highway, alternator belt had snapped :(

    organised a spare :)

    push car to start of right turning lane

    notice slight bubbling noise from radiator :(

    Pulled everything off to get ready to put new one on

    Phone dies

    numerous people stop to ask if i need help, only 1 dickhead :)

    Many lols were had watching people getting caught by safety camera, i waved in a few (stolen idea from top gear)

    So many morons still attempt to join the cue behind my car while im sitting on the boot

    some even locked their brakes up cause they were too busy on phone to pay attention

    spare belt turns up

    cant access his battery

    he persists in flagging down girls in hatch backs, 1 nearly successful

    he calls a tow truck, he heads off as he has work,

    girls come back, no jumper leads

    11:30 tow truck turns up

    11:31 tow trucks heater is awesome

    11:40 home

    11:45 batter and booster charging

    6am reconnect battery alarm goes off, drains battery

    8am buy new battery

    8:10 off to Marulan

    10am road works, didnt see entry after bridge, tom tom takes me down a dirt track

    1pm i finally get off my butt and sign on

    got 3 and a half sessions in, power steering belt kept coming off, and i got black flagged for exeeding noise limits (i stayed in 2nd as it picked up quicker and would nearly rev all the way out before the next turn)

    got new power steering and water pump belts, got the shorter versions this time

  6. using it as a guide is still wrong, you know how many people argue that i cant have 10:75:1 because someone else has a dome thats bigger then the one on my piston?

    but yeas, i agree there, that is another more correct method and that would be just as accurate as measuring everything before it is put together, X is your CV and Y is your SV+CV, they do that with alot of the race cars to make sure they are within spec of the rule book

    using a burrette you can also measure a combustion chamber or an eye dropper if you dont have one 1mm = 1cc

    same with the piston, if its a dome, use play dough

    and you can actually measure the squash of a head gasket with the right measuring tools, average it is about 10 thou, but that is a guess i still wont use

    lol shall we go into dynamic compression and volumetric efficency?

    sorry about whoring your thread zach

  7. i will NOT agree in saying that to buy a piston based on its stated compression ratio will ever be true,

    I will also NOT agree to use their tables, that is guessing, i will actually use measurements that i personally measure myself, this eliminates variables, which when a company says that it has too many variables it means "they have no clue they just bought them from someone else" or "check everything is right cause we just told you how we are not liable for you purchasing the wrong pistons if you dont measure everything"

    the formula is used with measurements taken from the piston, block, head gasket and cylinder head that those pistons are going into, not just 1 item, not someone elses parts or measurements.

    This is the only right way, its only "too many variables" if there is a lazy engine builder or a company avoiding liability, why spend big money to guess?

    sure the pistons with the higher comp ratio stated might be true in saying it will be higher, thats still a guess as to how much higher

    can you garantee the head chamber isnt 61cc's where it should be 64? or is it 68 instead?

    1mm head gasket not available but a 1.8mm is?

    piston sitting 10 thou above before its been ground during a dummy assemble, was it ground and tunnel bored before?

    you measure and calculate your comp. dont read what is on the sheet in the box

    with engine building your either precisely spot on or your wrong and something will f**k up eventually

  8. in my trade i need to know how to do things properly

    piston manufacturers will state "x:1" compression similar to cam manufaturers saying stage or type cams

    they assume your measurements and specs will match theirs

    they also assume the person who assembles will measure it first

    here is the actual formula in full

    Swept Volume

    Bore x Bore = Answer1

    Answer1 ÷ 4 = Answer2

    Answer2 x π (3.142) x stroke = Answer3

    Answer3 ÷ 1000 = Swept Volume ( SV )

    Compression Volume

    Head CC +

    Piston dome - / dish volume +

    Deck height (piston below the deck)

    Bore x Bore = Answer1

    Answer1 ÷ 4 = Answer2

    Answer2 x π (3.142) x block deck to piston crown measurement = Answer3

    Answer3 ÷ 1000 = deck height volume

    Deck height (piston above the deck)

    piston measurement above top ring land x piston measurement above top ring land = Answer1

    Answer1 ÷ 4 = Answer2

    Answer2 x π (3.142) x block deck to piston crown measurement = Answer3

    Answer3 ÷ 1000 = deck height volume

    Gasket

    Gasket Bore x Gasket Bore = Answer1

    Answer1 ÷ 4 = Answer2

    Answer2 x π (3.142) x Gasket thickness = Answer3

    Answer3 ÷ 1000 = Gasket volume

    The Maths

    Head CC + gasket Volume + Piston dish Volume(- Piston dome volume ) + deck height (-if piston is above the deck)= CV

    SV + CV + Answer

    Answer ÷ CV = Compression ratio

    Example

    my motor

    87 x 87 = 7,569

    ÷ 4 = 1,892.25

    x 3.142 x 85 = 505,363.2075

    ÷ 1000 = 505.36321 (sv)

    Head CC 53.4

    Piston Dome -10cc

    deck height, piston above

    0.005" ÷ 0.03837 = 0.127

    86.1 x 86.1 = 7413.21

    ÷ 4 = 1853.3025

    x 3.142 x 0.127 = 739.53071

    ÷ 1000 = -0.73953

    head gasket

    88 x 88 = 7,744

    ÷ 4 = 1,936

    x 3.142 x 1.5 = 9,124.368

    ÷1000 = +9.12437

    53.4 + 9.12437 - 10 - 0.73953 = 51.78484 CV

    51.78484 + 505.36321 = 557.14805

    ÷ 51.78484= 10.7589 aka 10.75:1
