  1. Need a housing to play around with. As long as the housing internals are in good shape then I am keen. Doesnt matter if the gears are worn as long as the casing has not eaten debris
  2. Sorted another solution for now...so if you have a cheap one then still interested but just spent $300 on a temp fix
  3. So based on recent experiences people are happy all this hoo-ha has been resolved with Ross balancers? I have myself in a pickle where I need a new R33 GTR power steering pump and when you can find them people want the same money as a Ross balancer that means I can go back to either of my old PS pumps with a vanilla Metal Jacket balancer. Silly question are they any heavier or lighter than std?
  4. Need urgently so prefer pick up in Melb
  5. Yeh, tried email the other week. May try again. Or as Dale FZ1 points out...just suss squish and ZFG about compression ratio...E85 etc.
  6. What headgasket did you end up choosing?
  7. Ideally compression height and dome cc. My google search comes up with nothing reliable. Some RB30 pistons for twin cam conversions etc and the catalogue doesn't list that piston number. If my pistons are the same as the catalogue and the CH is 31.369mm vs the std RB25 piston having a CH of 31mm (0 deck same as RB26, 2mm stroke difference and JE state CH of 31...whilst some others like Wiseco and CP seem to be 31.5mm) If the std RB25 piston has a CH of 31mm then that is about right as it means the piston will be 0.369 above the deck. I measured 16thou/0.4mm so in the hunt. Trying to suss a head gasket for std squish or perhap tighter squish if there is a more optimal target
  8. So anyone running old Arias RB25 pistons? I'm having trouble finding info on the pistons in my engine. They have 371521 engraved in them and sit proud of the deck by ( from memory) about 16thou
  9. Yeh, but these are going to get destroyed so rather not sacrifice new ones. Looking for used ones
  10. Looking for the drivers side bracket that the injector ballast resistor pack mounts too. Also after a couple of the std jacks. Interior door handles and surrounds
  11. What pistons? If CP they appear to be about the same piston shape as mine. I've had to pull the engine out of my old bus so sifting through parts at the moment
  12. Love the car and build....one silly opinion though....is there a chance with the breather from the catch can to get oil condensing in the low end of the bend and hydraulic the breather system? I guess if the can is effecient enough than the line to the breather wont have enough oil to condense and drop ou
  13. Fuel tank? I need the pump carrier but if tank is in good nic may take wholevthing. Pls PM if you have it
  14. They binned the EFRs for Precision! At least they are man enough to run twins. Give them another few years and they will finally see the light and rock Trust turbos
  15. New Sard fuel reg purchased new from RHD Larger 8AN version https://www.rhdjapan.com/sard-adjustable-fuel-regulator-type-rj-8mm.html Located in Melb....asking $200 plus delivery. Can provide receipt
  16. Ah...just skimmed and saw E85 mentioned. Great result on 98. Seems nothing wrong with the internal gate setup!
  17. So that means? Am I guessing right that 75% of the improvement is fuel as E85 masks the high back pressure and any inefficiency in the setup and just gets busy making numbers? Then may the tune with more accurate ignition? I know my old setup loved going to E85 as it simply allowed more boost and ignition everywhere over 98 when the thing just became too prone to detonation. E85 seems to make inefficient air pumps work a load better. Looks a far better result and imagine drives like a different beast
  18. Cheers, I may just rip mine off and do it over Xmas
