not saying you don't get advantages but there are much easier and cheaper ways to go about getting that extra response.

once those things have been done for sure look into it.

sorry to say lads but machineing and shimming buckets taking alot longer than they thought due to the increased lift. they a bit worried about bending valve shafts with the increased duration combined with vvt.

after a big weekend head will be back to me on monday, fingers crossed.

for anyone in the know what is a resonable price for a cam belt and a new set of bearings.

since the motor is apart anyway it makes sense to hit it all now.

obviously when you start running that sort of compression things wear alot faster if you don't do it right. thats why i've spent so much time on the head to get it right which left no money to balence the bottom end. with that in mind red line will probably be about 7500. if i can find a descent harmonic balancer i might stretch it out to 8000.

everything that i've done to date have been at a tune length. paid through the ass for tune length custom extractors. cams that have power band that line up with that and a port job that reflects that as well.

basically that means that it won't be the highest total hp i could have gotten but it will be the hardest accelerating and constatly be in power band when you drive it right.

I haven't seen an rb25 built to this extent and this quality so im interested to see what sort of power i get. i know that some of the boys here have ported rb30de's but lifting and machining buckets angel cutting all round and high compression to my knowledge hasn't been done.

if someone has seen this and can give me an idea of power to expect pleae let me no.

Sounds awesome mate cant wait for the results.

Performance Wholesales at slacks creek here in brissy sell speced up balancers for GTR's... pretty sure that it would be compatible, probably worth a look into.

yeah do you know what sort of price there talking?

not sure if it will be worth it at this stage. for longevity of the motor it probably is but outright speed i don't know it would be that benificial?

just got short shifter in and fitted it feels pretty nice. keen to see how she runs.

flywheel is now machined up and ready to go in. total weight 4.2kg. bit worried bout how she'll be driving around on the street but im sure once i learn how it feels it will be fine.

just checked up on head and its looking good for monday which means head goes on 20th tuned on the 23rd.

the exit runners on the head how important are they once you have a good set of pipes?

im tempted to tell the guy grind them out but not sure if its going to kill flow rather than help it.

has anyone here removed them and what sort of results did you see?

hell no thats just crazy. after market style all the way. started at 4.8kg just took bits and pieces out and balenced it with new clutch.

all the added power with such light weight fly clutch combo the short tail shaft of the sil big lsd and big tyres i can see my gearbox going boom if im not to careful.

sorry to disapoint boys but will be a few more days before engine is back together having trouble sourcing good quality idler bearing.

exit runners still causing concern with the flowbench readings.

looking to be back together and on the road by wed next week.

i looked into because it looked pretty good but the only real gains you get are in your air intake because they just can't do it anywhere else. ie your inlet manifold. so you still have to get a good porting job anyway. when i sent my head down i paid to get the inlet cleaned up anyway so any gains that extrusion honing would have gotten me i'll get, and then some.

i also wanted my inlet split to get more flow again which again you need to get done at a good porting shop.

if anyone has any more ideas like this please let me no. still keen to pick up any extra power i can and still a few days left to do so.

twin throttle bodys? its been done on a couple of the rb30des on here. im just starting on it now.

or have you got somthing else planned? i cant quite rember now.

if you really wanted to try somthing totaly differnt. what about increasing the size of the intake runners? im not sure if that would be a gain or a loss. but its somthing i havnt heard about...

also what about a thin copper head gasket? to increas compression even more

oh and mb to avoid alot of blow by some oil restrictors? or mb thats just what you need for rb30s... i know i need some...

Contact your local CBC Bearings, they do a kit which replaces your seals/idler/tensioner/belt at a great price, plus all the stuff they use is genuine... just not in 'nissan' boxes

I know, because I'm a Rep for them :/

Kit will set you back around the $250 mark (with racing belt)

damn monster your like a few days to late. grabbed a new racing belt the other day and idler bearing is on the way but thanks i'll keep that in mind, im sure i'll be building again in the not to distant future.

as for twin throttle bodies no have no plans as such, yet. seeing how this package goes then moving onto a twin throttle setup if i feel the need.

the inlet runners beind made larger was on the books but this will only be done if it shows up on the flow bench that we'll see gains. it still being played with and little things being changed and the gains are really starting to pile up.

as for the copper head gasket we've worked out all the comprension ratings to give her as much as she can handle with just a normal head gasket. bearing in mind that if an rb30 bottom end was to go on the compresion would increase again.

whats mb? :)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.
