Mine was set to 8000rpm.

That was knowing full well it woould see the drag strip, and it did a few times :)

Stock head aswell, not even cam'd

So i cant see why you cant do the same if its still making power.

You have the rods & better bolts, so DO IT

Does anyone know for sure or has had experience when valve float has started to occur in the 25's with whatever modifications they have had done?

Im curious to know if it happens often or not at all, i have yet to see anyone complain about 25det and valve float. Ive heard its a problem in neo25's cause their springs are weaker then the previous models, is that true as well if anyone knows?

Well thats good to hear. Just that were upgrading the springs to some stronger Isky ones for the 25/30 just to make sure..we will be running around 22-25psi outta the 3540. Just wanted to check incase anyone had run into such problems before.

Ok so someone has run into problems...well our redline on the 25/30 will be 7k due to standard harmonic dampner, so with the stronger springs we should be good.

What turbo may i ask were you two running R31Nismoid/turbo87?

I also ran into valve float at about 21psi. It started around 4k according to my tuner.

That was on an HKS t300s turboed stock cam'ed s1 rb25 making about 240rwkw up top. I've got my rev limit pegged at 7300 more due to worries about the stock rods than the valve train.

im running tomei poncams step 1 252 degrees duration at stock 8.5mm lift. now wouldnt running these cams with stock lift enable me to run similar rev limit to if i had the stock cams still installed??? if im going to run 22psi on hi boost do i need to restrict revs to 7000rpm or can i go to 7300rpm ? without valve float any ideas people???

If installing pon cams I'd recommend upgrading the valve springs to gtr items. With stock lift I'd say you should be able to hit 7500 but you'l certainly find out. Didn't you have a gt 30 with nissan exhaust housing before or am I getting mixed up?

Cheers

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
