really huh? Sounds major....The head is getting sent to enginering once my cams arrive. i hope there is a possible way around it and not have cost sky rocket at the same time. Is there anything even wrong with aluminum lifters anyway? It has a rb30 bottom end reving to 8k rpm max although power goal is 650rwhp...

cheers

too late now, but u sholda really sold ur neo head and bought a 26 head to start with

buying a rb26 head has been suggested although many of my parts are for the NEO head. Is there any reason why nissan only gave it 12 steel and not all of them? I am concerned about reliablity issues pushing big power.

depending what size cams u use, tomei recommened u use their lifters for the bigger cams

an extra ~$350 for brand new lifters isnt that much more to the total bill for a good quality build for decent hp, which is gonna be in excess of 20k+ anyway

do it the first time, do it properly

it has rb30 bottom end with a t04z with 1.00 a/r, valve springs, guides, port & polish, plenum etc...I did the reasearch and asked questions. Lift bigger then 9.3 will not fit a NEO head. Pon 260 are the closet. Rev will be set at 8k rpm.

u shoulda got the head clearanced for the bigger cams when u got the port/polish done u dope lol

The exhaust lifters arent aluminium but are titanium from memory.

NEO lifters are overhead shim, as opposed to RB26 which are under shim.

The lift issue has nothing to do with clearence problems, but is to do with the position of the lifter oil feed gallery that runs the length of the head. If the lifter is pushed down too far ( ie big lift cams ) the oil gallery is exposed and you end up with no oil pressure in your head. So there is a limit to the amount of lift that can be run when using the std lifters.

Thats an urban myth if your referring to the R33 VCT head, as the valve stems and lengths are different sizes, the guides are different, the springs are different . With major mods it can be done but it would be a pointless exercise and cheaper to buy a RB26 head.

If you know the right combo you can use almost all GTR valvetrain parts in RB25s.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
