yeah all bolted on gonna see how it goes but still looking for a good bare head..

id build you one but my head guy is soooo slllloooowwww that you wouldn't have it till next year!

if he didn't do such a bloody good job id send them elsewhere...he's starting to piss me off somewhat.

its an unfortunate way of the world that when someone is so good they are in high demand...but my patience is starting to run out with this one...who takes 6 weeks off at christmas thats not at school?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. damn straight such a wang he is......

just like the guy down further aswell ant... good on v8's cant stand the fidly 6's.... i walked out wen he was talking to me bcuz he was just spinning me shit... + he told me to buy a 26 head cuz there hydraulic so he doesnt need to shim them up wen building it.... i laughed in his face and said well thats how much u know and walked out....

and i was refering to my head earlier pauly.... has he kept going on it or still lazing around??

also paul... those shims i saw in the oil pump box.... wat did u end up doing with them... i figured they are to shim up the pressure release valve to increase or decrease the pressure????

thats correct....they wont be required...but mark will check the pressure on start-up to see if they are needed. ive already addressed this with him and he said with the clearances ive used the pump should be ok out of the box.

ok sweet not that im trying to double check ur work or nethin i just wanted to know wat actually went into it etc.... tis good to know for future reference

ill write 'oil pump shims' on the packet so you know what they are for.

done deal....

Red R Racing RB28 T04Z 272 Stage 2.5 Head tuned by Godzilla...running RWD.

Sounds good eh ?

there only 270's paul.... also it sounds like a pain in the arse on the street tis all i will say lol

have also been discussing with paul my exhaust housing size.... atm ive got a .81 but the .96 housing seems that it may have been a better option... the only problem is to the manifold i have is single entry not twin entry so im gonna have to check if they make a single entry .96.... will also have to get the housing made to suite my wastegate inlet pipe... ahhh more mucking around

it will be nice and responsive with the 0.81...if you want less response and more top end i think the 0.96 would suit. Dave's 2.6 doesn't seem to want to make any more than 450awkw with the .81 no matter what i do to the tune or fuel type. Ive put it down to the rear housing being unable to flow the air mass...you having the extra 200cc and a better head will find it even tougher to 'move' the air through it...hence the idea of the larger rear.

Being a RWD though the 0.81 might be easier on the tyres, driveline and might be easier for you to keep it pointing in the direction you actually want to go. :)

my thoughts exactly.... either way im pricing up a .96 rear made to suite so we'll see how much they are..... but seriously 450rwkw should be plenty through a street cars rear wheels only...

just double checking since u didnt reply that plate that sits behind the cams gear did u strip the paint off it. or is it still all good...

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
