Hey guys,

I've got my head off my rb25/30 at the moment (rb30e block with the standard r33 rb25 head) and am curious to know if it is possible to shave enough off the head to get a comp close to 9:1?

I've had pretty decent search around the place for how much people have shaved off there heads but can't actually find a figure, only that it is recommended to get extra compression..

I've tried calculating it out myself with a calculater but I seriously can't get the numbers to match :O

I've also tried two online engine compression calculators and according to them I've currently got a 6.4:1 and a 4. something :1 compression ratio respectivly, using exactly the same data, when I'm thinking I should be after a figure closer to 8.2:1 :rofl:

Any help would be very much appreciated :D

Thanks guys

Marcus

8.2:1 sounds pretty convincing for a 25/30. Have you asked anyone in the Hybrid build section? I disagree with the above comment, i reckon it's worth it. The head's off anyway, and if you can bump comp from 8.2 to 9:1 that's more response for the taking :ermm:

Will be interested to hear more opinions on this.

yeah see that's the thing, i can recall reading in a few places of people shaving the head to increase compression but now that i'm actually interested in it I can't find the posts :happy:

to get an increase from 8.2:1 to 9.0:1 it seems to me that you'd have to take off atleast 3mm, which to me seems an aweful lot :ermm:

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
