I do. But im not sure if i need it

Bump

Idler does not get spaced out.

Bigger oil capacity will help i think simmo.

Exhaust lifters in a NEO are a non ferrous metal of some description. Appeared to be aluminium. But id guess they are an alloy.

This useful to know when i drop in some Tomei cams down the track. I think the exhaust runs such a large clearance because of the alloy buckets.

Yeah, would have been done by valve seating / shaving the valve stems

Yeah i put stronger valve springs in mine as well. But i'm only using stock cams for the time being. Did you set your shim clearance with new shims, or did you rebuild the head and grind the valves down?

Just get a tune dude. Nistune and get rid of the MINES computer! An AFR gauge is not going to help you at all, none, zip, nudda. Factory 02 sensors are narrow band. If you hook up an AFR gauge to it is going to give you nothing but false readings all day every day. The only way to have some what of an accurate AFR gauge is to use a complete wide band setup. But thats besides the point. You need to ditch the MINES ecu and get a re-mappable ECU and then have it tuned.

Nistune. Your at risk destroying your engine as it is. Just because it runs 'well' doesn't mean the AFR's are in check. MINES computers are known to not have good tunes in them to suit Australian conditions.

What are the TOMEI specs for those cams out of curiosity? I've heard they are quite large. People have thrown shims with those cams and i'll bet its because of incorrect shim clearance. Nissan workshop manual states it is 0.31 +/- 0.04mm on the inlet and 0.5mm +/- 0.04mm on the exhaust.

No you cannot just shove another turbo on and wind up the boost. 1. Get rid of the MINES computer 2. Get a Nistune 3. Then do a turbo, injectors, Z32 AFM upgrade 4. Forward facing plenum gives almost next to no performance benefits if any. Some say they lose power and torque. Make your engine bay look better yes. 5. Skids

Probably missing the front timing gear thrust plate.

This thread actually just got interesting and constructive lol.

The CAS is the photo electric sensor inside the distributor

It distributes spark to each cylinder via a mechanical rotor. I think you can argue thats s distributor.

The balancer should just sit on the tip of the crank before it stops. Then you start winding the bold in. Make sure you put never seize on the crank.

Well he does, hes got a RB30 single cammer in it.

You dont really need an install tool to fit the balancer on an RB. Its ideal yes. But not a massive requirement. You can just use the bolt to press it on as it has a large thread. But it can't be too tight a fit. The reason they have have those install tools is for engines where the crank pulley bolt is only a 10 or 12mm bolt and will not be able to press the balancer on. When i was looking at doing this, i looked at buying the tool to do it. They were all a generic tool with threads, adapters etc to fit a lot of engines. However none came with the M16/18? shank to suit the RB25 crank. In the end, i just pressed it on with the crank pulley, it was actually a walk in the park. Pressed on very nice and easily. Put anti seize on the crank and wound the bolt in then torqued it. Easy. The interference fit was very close to ROSS' specifications though. I'm not sure how out yours is? You need a telescoping gauge and micrometer to creaturely measure the crank and the ID of the balancer. EDIT - If its too tight you can't fit it period, this was done by a friend of mine with his ROSS balancer onto his engine, he didn't have a care in the world for specifications or the interference fit. Needless to say, when it was time to get the balancer off, it was almost impossible too and the crank had been damaged from such a tight interference fit.

Need to wire it up from a PWM output or the 'tacho' output on the Microtech.

Semi related. Tried to change my profile pic just now but it keeps coming back with "Failed to load new picture", the URL link doesn't work either, comes back with "Server could no be contacted" Tried in 3x browsers, no difference. Was not an offensive photo either. This a bug of some sort?

No sorry.
