I got a little bit drunk :)

Pulled a cam cover off, can't see any shims in there so it may not be a NEO head, which would mean I have been ripped off :(

Didnt see anything obviously wrong, and then spotted the stainless exhaust manifold was snapped almost in half. That could account for the funny noise, lack of power and boost, but not the low compression. But I don't have a lot of faith in my compression guage so yeah...

So the plan is to put it back together with a factory manifold and see how it goes. If its still f**ked, I'll take it somewhere for a compression test and leakdown test to work out whats wrong. But hopefully it wont come to that.

Need a new exh gasket and some other misc stuff though, but will hopefully be going back together next weekend. Oh, does anyway know where I can get the right sized copper washers for the banjo bolts? Super cheap/rapeco etc only have imperial ones.

Gonna be spitting chips if this head isn't a NEO one but.

I'd lend you my backup, but I am using it ATM :P

Looks like it is definitely not a NEO head :). http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ea...ad-t269422.html

Wrong number on the side of the head, wrong coil pack mounts. Shoulda researched this s**t more before buying it I suppose.

On the bright side, hopefully it will be all good when back together with factory exhaust manifold now. But the low compression is still a bit of a worry - hopefully its my guage.

I believe this SR is running a pretty compression all around :D hows yours doing!?

Too bad the shit bolted to the SR failed more than Johnny McFail at Fail Highschool in Failsville.

I made it out of the spit alive yesterday! I dont think I'll wanna go there again... that place its like a 1 way ticket to defects.

Anyway, anyone knows if the TE37 comes with dish? I saw 1 yesterday thats 19" x 10.5" +22 with massive dish... never seen it before (particularly for funky).

Any farewell car wash for monkey these few days before he gets on the van?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Rezz · Posted

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
