Hey Man; That all looks pretty good Just a few things I've spotted in your build; -Do some research on how much power has been made with stock cams on the RB25 head ! I think you might be over investing for the power you want to make. Some drop in cams for the on the hydrolic set up will save you a bunch of money here -O-ring the block - if your going to run a cometic head gasket that should be fine.- the alternative is to run a copper head gasket with the o-ringing. Coupled with this, save your little lunch money and get head studs for better clamp pressure. -As to the rods crack testing, shot peening and magnafulxing them will increase their strength and has been a tried and true method for stock rods since Noah was a boy. -And lastly, again save your lunch money and drop in a set of forged pistons, don't do it twice ( the money you will save on the head set up may even allow the rods you are after ) Hope this helps

THE WEIRDEST PLACE YOU'VE SEEN A SKYLINE ?
PLYNX replied to PLYNX's topic in General Automotive Discussion
You mean Portland in the Unites States of Trump ? ? -
Where is the weirdest place you've see a skyline ? On Saturday I needed to clear my head and went for a big drive out west from Sydney. Filled up the 33 and about a couple of hours in driving along I spotted a R33 Skyline in a paddock with grass growing up to the doors. I threw a U-turn and went back to find it was a GTR ! ! Which blew me away ! So again the question is where is the weirdest place you've see a skyline ?

The short answer is yes. The Nissan alloy radiators are pretty efficient. I've got a custom 95mm front mount inter cooler on my R33 mounted vertically in front of the radiator with the original front AC fan removed. I too thought it would over heat but even in summer on a 40 degree day it had no problem even with the AC running flat out. Eventually though, for piece of mind, I installed two 10 inch thermo fans hooked up to the original wiring so it switches on as per normal when required

NRMA calls for ban on sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2030
PLYNX replied to PranK's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Oh dear now I'm off . . . . . Thought I saw an article on an Aussie battery invention - nickel - bromine batteries. Can be charged in minutes. As to the internal combustion engine nobody is even looking at the massive cargo ships that move goods around the world or the air lines that put the CO2 commissions directly into the upper atmosphere. Lets see them battery power them. And what about China building hundreds of coal powered power stations now ? Oh Oh and don't forget methane - 21 times more a contributor to green house warming than CO2 ! So we'd better get rid of all the burping cows. Oh Oh lets go nuclear . . . . nope no politician would commit political suicide with that one. So what we gotta do is . . . walk everywhere, become vegans, transport our good across the oceans by sailing ship and fly around the world in hot air balloons . . . . . . The reality is that there is a drop of petroleum in every single thing that is used in our society at the moment Unfortunately petroleum and there by products are here to stay for quite a while. Time for a Valium and a lie down . . . . . ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ -
Post up a pic of the exact one you've got ! There are a lot of differences. I have a R33 series 1 manual and its running a R34 auto triptronic clock spring !

Hey Everyone; Last night going home along the Great Western Highway at Kingswood a very nice S15 had broken down at the lights in the left hand lane turning right. No bugger would stop and give him a hand so I U-turned it down the road a bit and went back to see if I could help. Pulled up and he had gotten it into a side street and it wouldn't fire no matter how much he cranked it. It looked as if the fuel pump wasn't working so we tried bashing on the underside of the tank to see if we could get it to prime No soap there ! So we pupped out the carpet to get to the inspection cover. he wasn't carrying tools and luckily I had a full tool kit on me and we took off the inspection cover to find that there was fuel pouring out of the ring seal. This hadn't been installed correctly at on stage and when we re-seated it and tightened it up it fired up just fine with no leaks. He thanked me and was very grateful that I had even pulled up and proceed to tell me that in the past when he had broken down ( in a S14 ) he would cop abuse like "buy a Holden" and so on with no one pulling up to help Has anyone else gone through the coping "carism" And lets hope he pays it forward to anyone else who brakes down

Is a little negative camber normal?

Is a little negative camber normal?
PLYNX replied to Robocop2310's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Just to be clear Id put every adjustable arm, front and back, on mine BEFORE so I could achieve what I wanted and they still told me It wasn't possible on a R33. I was told this by a wheel aligner with 18 years experience in one place and 23 years experience in wheel alignment in the second place. The place I go to now got it up on the aligner to one look at it and said no problem ! Haven't had a problem with irregular tyre wear since. P.S. the very first place forgot to tighten the inner rear upper control arm bolt to the chassis so watch out where you go for you alignment. -
Is a little negative camber normal?
PLYNX replied to Robocop2310's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Oh don’t get me started on front and fear camber on R33s ! I got very tired of seeing my tyres chewed out on the inside because of what wheel alignment places said I must run for my car when all I wanted was the car to run flat on the road and wear the tires evenly. Eventually ( after going to two noteable alignment places who told me it couldn’t be done ) I found a place that adjusted the camber to run flat on the road. I run 255 on the front and 265 on the rear so and get full use out of the tyres even with the rear squatting down under load. Next one was trying to get the rear subframe alighted centrally to the body so the tyres don’t stick out of the guards by 10 or so millimeters on one side ! -

Well of coarse ! 380K km on the engine IS three life times of major services with a fourth on the horizion. So tell me please the difference between iridiums is . . . . . .
