I wouldnt be too fussed with the head gasket unless your planning on running more than 8psi, then you will need to.

8psi are you f**ken serious!!!!!!!!

Yea i am really bothering to pull out my RB20DET and putting an Rb25DE and turboing it to be running it at only 8 psi!

YEA RIIIIGHT

Calm down mate, you didnt state your intentions very well therefore I didnt know what sort of boost you were running. Im turboing mine next week, will be running 7psi on stock compression. So ill soon let you know how long it lasts, and from what I have heard and seen, it should last me a few years yet

rb_turbo_bitch, juddier31 and slimvlt are actually sorta right...

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...c=33407&hl=

have a read of that thread and come to your own conclusions.

p.s - unless you already have a spare rb25de lying around, i cant see why you would go to so much trouble.

each to their own, read DAN666's thread

we will c how long it runs for then.

8 psi and about 10-1 compresion

Hence why she is using a thicker head gasket to lower the compression. All u backyard mechanics tell me why my engine has lasted so long at almost 11:1 compression at 11pound of boost and the only time the car is driven it is cained... Now please... everybody take a step back if u dont have hard facts and havent done it yourself dont be so quick to critisise.

Ugh I'm sick of your N/A + boost knowledge John, it's so common sense and practically based :(

Come on people if you need to know anything about boosting N/A's ask John or myself, we're there to help in such a taboo subject.

mate i have done this before and most ppl dont do it well and set there sxpectations to high.

ive used decomp plates/copper head gaskets ect in rb30 engines for years with great sucsess but you always get reports of ppl who get it wrong.

ive used a dead stock n/a rb30 with a 2mm copper gasket (no orings)

cramed alot of boost in to it (ran 28 at hethcote)

made 253 rwkw on 18 psi. it all comes down to the tune and what most ppl do is use the stock parts that dont like it real well (ecu)

so if they scimp or dont get a pigy back then pumping abit of boost in will result in a meltdown and a nother statistic to the list.

so yea i beleive i know what im tlking about.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
