Come on peeps! This is perfect for any RB20 based build up, save yourself some big $$$ the work on the head cost me $2000 and it hasn't even been touched yet!

Make an offer i can only say no

cleaned the the ports de-burred

There ya go....

I want it, but got Rods/pistons to pay for as well

out of interest, willing to ship it to SA?

Does it have rocker covers/cams/valvetrain ie. is it complete or a bare head

Whats been done to it? any porting or anything?

technically it hasn't been ported just had imperfections smoothed out.

It a totally complete head. from an ECCS silver top. I the manifolds, fuel rail etc. to go with to. the only thing its missing is the igition timing moduel that goes on the cam cover. only the bare head itself has been reco'd but all the valves cams, etc etc are in good nic.

happy to post anywhere if you pay the postage. it won't be cheap though.

a nice reco'd head would be great for an RB20 drifter as you'd be punishing the head constantly in that application.

might be interested,but need more infor on the head,where about do u live,is inspection welcome?

any good pics will help if u can send to [email protected]

thanks a lot. :)

Located on the northern beaches. The head is at my mechanics workshop - Joviant - and inspection is more than welcome.

I haven't got any pics. its really just a shiny new head. It all in bits, the mech, Brett, is going to re-assemble it for me for the sale but if you want to install things like new valves, springs, guides etc i could leave it all separate for you. rocker covers are off so they are ready to be painted or chromed to suit your taste (i was gonna go matt black)

As far as info goes what i've given is it. Its been shimmed, so the side that sits on the block is perfectly flat, no warped edges that help to blow gaskets, crack tested and came up 100% fine, and imperfections have been taken out of the combustion chambers, inletc etc. its only just come back from the shop - even i haven't seen it yet.

apart from having a nice new head - the real value is that if you want to do some head work and install some gear in the top end, this one is already out and has been machined. to remove your existing head and do the same you'd have to pay for all the labour time taking it off and putting it back on and put your car of action. plus you'd have to at least have the head shimmed before you put it back on. this has had all the hard and expensive work paid for now you can just install the parts and wack it on. Then you can sell your old top end.

FOR INSPECTIONS CALL ME: ROWAN: 0410 321 343 AND I'LL ARRANGE WITH JOVIANT.

CHEERS :laugh:

$250?

Sorry thats a bit low. i've got a guy offering me $400 pickup at the moment so its on hold. but as with most sale inquiries on here that may not go through. i can possibly sell you an RB20 head that hasn't been shimmed or washed for $280.

Pics?

Its an RB20 top end. no different to any other standard one, except its clean and the bottom is flat.

i haven't even seen it yet. its sitting in the machine shop on the other side of Sydney waiting for someone to give it love, so its a bit hard for me to get pics, sorry. i'm sure there are some on the net somewhere to give an idea if you've never seen an RB20 head off the block.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
