Noel's New Goodbits

[FineLine]

Take it to whoretown bitches. This thread has been one of the better ones with just the odd humor diversion. Lets keep it that way.

[markimak]

sorry noel *hugs old man*

so whats the estimated time till its done..?

[FineLine]

I'm thinkin 6/8 weeks Mark. Maybe longer depending on funds.

[r33_racer]

talk to john hill about converting your std lifters to solids noel. Unless there is also someone else anyone knows of that can do it without going to the expense of tomei stuff from japan.

[shanef]

i can second john hill's work and knowledge/experience

mark, dont go joking urself buddy

[Squizz]

32 GTR. Catback, Panel Filter. 12.45@106mph

That is all.

[Keegs]

missed me shaney poo...

i still can rev 2500rpm higher than that...

.... BITCH.. i could say something like at least mine drives lol

mmm stable healthy oil pressure..

yes about time.. i wanna see 12s before i get my R34 GTT.. cause ill be seeing 14s in that

i'm laughing out loud right now....no seriously, really hard. You reckon you can rev your standardish 32 GTR to 10k safely?? I wanna see pics/vids of this....

I apologise to Noel because this does belong in another thread....so mark I challenge you to create one and tell us the mods your car has that allows you to rev to 10k??

[FineLine]

Indeed i do Mike. Therein lies the true good side of a forum. Getting info that saves peeps time and money.

Thanks to all and stay tuned for more annoying questions as the build proceeds.

Nice work so far, I figured being an old V8 boy you would have gone the Rb25/30 setup for the extra torque. Personally though, I love the smooth feeling of the RB25

[FineLine]

I'm a puritan at heart Ben. Whilst the 30 bottom end does have some appeal I much prefer the idea of having a hot 25 in a 33 st. Theres something bogan about dumping an outsourced engine in any car to my way of thinking. Sorta makes it a mongoloid hybrid . Even in the old days when i ran holdens it was accepted that the chevys were the better engine but ford had the stronger drive trains. It was common to fit top loader boxes and 9 inch ford rear ends to the holdens to get some reliability but i couldnt bring myself to do it.

I persevered with the bowtie product till I made it work and was more satisfied for doing it.

The other reason is the aussie underdog thing. Whilst most opt for the 26 or the 30 I think there is a ton of potential in the 25.

The only limitation at this point is in cam selection and i think that can be overcome as well. After all, making horsepower is all about getting air fuel in, burning it and getting it out efficiently. With the right cams I see no reason why the 25 cant match it at least with the 26, we are only talking 100 cc's here. Less than 5%. Given that most 26's are pushing an awd system and are inherintly heavier as a result of it i think that pound for pound the performance bar should be on about a par. It might be different if we were talking about mega power in the 800/1000 hp range Where the 26 valve train can be taken further but we are dealing in street/strip cars here.

Hey noel so have you got any ideas or eyes on specifics on valve train, did you get any info on converting to solids and what not? did you find any prices

Thread cleaned... come on guys, I dunno how many times we have to say it - no shit-canning workshops! If you must share your bad experience with a workshop, please keep it to PM.

At this stage mate the best option would appear to be the bill hill one. Take your head and solid cams and hydraulic lifters to him and he converts your lifters to solid operation then installs the cams and adjusts the valve lash by trimming the valve stems. I have been told that the block may have to be welded totake care of the vct but I am looking further in to that today. He quoted me approx 400 dollars to do the job.
