I was under the impression that the RB25 Neo head flows more CFM than the 26. I'm sure there was something posted in forced induction about it a few months ago. I believe that was when both were heavily ported though, not in standard form.

I think once you start heavily porting something, the differences that were inherently there can almost be said to count for less/nothing. I see a lot of figures being thrown around for the neo head flowing 300+ cfm on the intake, however struggling to have a decent flow rate on the exhaust. I believe this problem is easier to overcome with the 26 head? Feel free to correct if I'm wrong :D

All we can be sure of, is that no matter what head you have, you'll get decent results to a point.

As Dave and Scott here have very well demonstrated.

Finally decided its time to finish off my exhaust. Its long over due. Currently running a 3" system to drift pipes from the cat back. going to run 3.5" instead. Dump/Front pipe is currently 3.5" with a .50" screamer.

Anyone with suggestions of the best combo with tip and mufflers etc?

Car is booked in Thursday for an Exhaust upgrade. Ended up going 3.5" to match the rest of the system. Decided against 4" at this stage to help with clearance levels etc under the car.

I also picked up a 3bay alloy radiator.

Also hunting around for a pair of these. Sill undecided of what spec to go with at this stage.

Step one of Operation: Powerplay Prep begins today.

Car is it getting a new exhaust today. As said a few posts up. Ive been running with a 3.5" dump plus screamer, going down to only a 3" system from the cat back. This isnt ideal on a 600hp car and think its long overdue for an upgrade.

Ended up going with 3.5" straight through with a single tip muffler. Bye bye drift pipes :(

    • 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
