neo head isnt bad but has shitty shim over bucket rather then rb26 shim under bucket. besides i'd need an adaptor for the ITB's.

does this really add much to the valve train weight? Or are there other issues with shim over bucket?

Not sure with RB engines, bu I understand some shim-over setups have bad from for spitting shims out when used at high rpm for extended periods and maybe if cam profile is altered from stock.

Some Neo engines run alloy buckets though - light weight = good.

anyway i should mention that my block is stripped right down... pushed the block on engine stand down the road from the workshop to the machinist... quite the sight really someone pushing an engine stand with block down the street... beats carrying it tho... lol some old woman abused me too. bitch!

block is getting a dip, clean, deck and hone, crank being linished and grub screwed. nothing too crazy!

have delt with two neo's lately that have spat shims out :( messy and written off heads is the result.

not going to run the risk...

Wow this is the first I have ever heard of it, interesting. Could you convert to under bucket from the 26 easily? Would be the ultimate head having VCT imo.

yeah im sure you could.. i havent measured RB26 shims but they visually look the same size as neo ones.. so possibly a case of just swapping them over. realistically i think the solution is stiffer springs.. Andrew from AM Performancewas one of the unlucky few that spat a shim out at mallala. car had done SAU nats at winton the week before with no issues. spat a shim at 7000 rpm and shim got wedged in the valve train. the bucket then thrashed out the alloy in the head and distroyed it :/

N1GTR: no idea what she said she wa sin a car turning at an intersection.. lol she just starts screaming some shit. engine is just a block. no oil trail lol. guess she couldnt handle the awesomeness of it all

i hope my engine doesn't spit the shim out on my head :\

what can we do to prevent this, just the stiffer springs like you've mentioned? stay off limiter? lol

Stay off limiter? :no:

LOL

Seems the old lady gets excited by RB's. She's got taste, got to give her that much

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
