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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
