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.. :D

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

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??

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

Edited:1130pm :P

Oh Here is something you might like some new tomei 10.25mm lift spring kit

noel, i reckon it'd be a good idea if you'd post up what u want from this car, both power wise and use wise i.e drags, track etc etc. then we can all start giving you some ideas to look into :P

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.

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
