I have a Rb25det and the timing belt broke on it and the valves are all bent. I can get a R32 rb25DE head for real cheap localy.

will i loose any power with the DE head? i will need to plug the block because it does not have VCT?

I have heard that its alot more like the rb20* smaller valves lighter valve springs?* so i cant use my 25DET cams?

not really sure what is true or not thanks for any help.

If the RB25DE head is anything like the RB20DE it will have much smaller chambers so your comp ratio will be very high. - Probably too high!?

I would double check this before anything as obviously it would detonate badly if not massivly retuned to compensate.

RB Racing is currently building a RB20DE with a turbo fitted but have a Autronic to control the potential for detonation because of the high comp.

Who ever said the R32 RB25DE head has smaller valves etc has no idea, they are making an uneducated GUESS.

I believe I saw some one on NICOClub in the RB section making these claims.

The R32 RB25DE head I have has the same sized valves as the R33 RB25DET head, exactly the same.

My combustion chamber cc'd up at 62.2cc's which is also basically the same as the R33 RB25DET head.

The valve springs are lighter as it is a non turbo head. I have GTR springs going in to mine.

The ports are a different design to the R33 Rb25DET/RB26 and they are only slightly smaller but still considerably larger than the Rb20DET ports.

The R32 heads have no issues cracking 400rwhp running stock cams, plenum and inlet manifold.

Just wondering if you have any proof of an RB20DET head flowing 480-500hp on stock cams and plenum. Cams max out at around 400hp which will only see you to about 320rwhp.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
