  1. Just sent my mate James a txt with your number to call you about this as hes looking for an RB20DET package. Cheers.
  2. Howd you go with those internal pics of the baffles and gates? Cheers
  3. Got one here in Adelaide. Done roughly 2000km. $110 including postage.
  4. Yes im well aware of N1 pumps being shit. However that seems to be with the ones manufactured in the last few years. The ones fitted to engines from factory seem to be ok. I do have a Tomei pump I could use, but the thr crank has to come out to get a collar fitted.
  5. Yeah I thought it was 3, one for VCT. Obviously you wouldnt block the VCT. How come the NEO has both restrictors but an RB26 has its rear blocked. The NEO has solid lifters aswell. It will be used or circuit primarily, so at constant high revs for 20 minute periods. It will see the occasional drift day and driven on the street from time to time. I plan on just using the N1 pump.
  6. So one for the head itself as it has solid lifters. And one for VCT correct? I shall only need to restrict the main one to the head?
  7. I've used a fine grinding stone before, works a treat. Just takes that layer of crap off.
  8. Yes when i heard it the first time, i called bulls**t very quickly and didn't believe it, then i heard it from two other people. But still didn't understand how they could get it to work. Well you guys live in NSW so you'd know the deal. I just know that NSW rapes their drivers more than they do over here in SA.
  9. Yeah ok, cool. I've never had an issue with a factory Nissan gasket. Does anyone know how many restrictors the NEO has? I'm hearing mixed reports that its two or three. I'm quite green when it comes to NEO's.
  10. Yes i'd be doing both of these. Is it worth going with a metal head gasket? This engine will be flogged to shit. It may some day be asked to make over 300kW, but not any time soon.
  11. Hello everyone, this may sound like a stupid question to some, but this is a legit question, i'm pretty sure i know which way i'll go but i thought id ask the question. Engine; RB25 NEO Head has to come off for the sole fact of fitting restrictors. It hasn't overheated or blown a head gasket that i'm aware of. But to fit the restrictors the head has to come off. I'll be replacing the head bolts with either factory Nissan ones or some ARP ones if i decide to fit a metal head gasket. My question is, for a simple gasket change, should the head be faced to ensure a good seal again? Thinking about it myself, using a factory Nissan gasket i dont really see an issue with not facing it. Obviously facing it would give a nice flat surface for sealing. I'm aware that i fit a metal head gasket i'll have to face the head. Thanks, Daniel.
  12. Nice, i'd love to hear this thing on gate, it would be epic i'm sure. Your in NSW, the worst state for EPA. Dont you guys have portable EPA detectors that sit on the side of the road, analyse the exhaust gas of your car, take a photo if its not correct and send you a nasty fine. Kind of like a speed camera? I've heard this before from several people. Anyway, its quite a big no no, massive fines for it, attracts stacks of attention. However, i'm one that is all for a screamer
  13. Hey all, so i've got to make up some custom power steering lines to suit my exact setup. I've got an R33 rack in my R31. I've been using the R33 lines in the past, and while they work, but they never really fit properly and look like a dogs breakfast. R31 lines do not fit as the fittings are wrong. I'm looking at making up a new aluminium hard tube return line that will go to the oil cooler and then back to the reservoir. I have that sussed. My question lies with the high pressure line from the pump to the rack. Has anyone made up a flex hose all the way from the pump to the rack? I was thinking of using the high pressure line you get from speedflow or the similar and then using AN fittings to get it all to work at the rack and at the pump. Reason for going flex line is for ease i guess. I dont need to get someone like pirtek to make up the line. I can just simply do it myself with speedflow fittings. It'll probably look a bit neater and be easier to work with and change where it goes if need be. Thanks.
  14. The question still remains though. do people just get out the power drill with some cutting lube and drill out the drains to 10mm in the head and block and then chamfer the holes with a deburing bit. Or do they get a machinist with a drill press/cnc to do it?
  15. This is for the rear drains yes, but what do people do about the 8?mm holes in between the cylinders?
  16. So drilling out the drains in the head and block. How do people actually go about doing this? Just grab the power drill, a 9mm drill bit, some cutting fluid and go nuts? Do they get a workshop to do it. Or use a suitable drill press?
  17. Kk fair call. Price on the rear calipers/pads/lines?
