Hey Abo Bob,

Thanks for your e-mail, i appreciate your input.

Just one question:

Between 2k-5krpm how much timing are you running?

You also mentioned an issue with porting, but the example you used related to an rb26. I personally would not touch the head of a 26, as they were engineered for race purposes, apart from port/manifold matching as stated. The rb25 on the other hand is totally different and i still believe gains are had from porting, provided it is done by a profesional porter.

I run stock R33 S1, rb25det, compession. (i think it is 8.5:1 or 9:1??????)

adam also runs an auto which may (or may not) affect dyno readings and spool up related to manuals (effect of torque converter vs no torque converter).

Have you got head work too Bris?

..only when i was dropped in the hospital, and when i fell from the 3rd floor verandah...oh and the time when my brother hit me in the head with a 3 iron...:P

I wouldnt bother with headwork unless your head is off the car. New gaskets, plus the head reco to go along with the porting...too much money.

Now I'm interested.

Al. Fark you and your bloody head porting. You too SK. I thought I'd been able to get the modification bug out of my system. Now I want head porting. You both suck. ;)

;) Couldn't stop laughing when i read this, GOLD. :angry::rofl:

DO IT!!! You know you want to..... :woot:

You saw my results with a shitty tune, imagine a tune like yours on my engine set-up, it would be awesome.

After porting the next step would be bolting up a GT-RS ;), GREAT response with equal power. :wave:

Bris is right though; If you remove your head it is best to reco it. The only thing mine needed (it was more a preventative measure) was valve stem seals, the set cost about $330.00.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
