hey lads.

im nearing the end of purchasing for my 26 build.. not 100% on how the valve train works and what is actually in there

so far i have got

tomie

cams

guides and

valve lifters

and apexi

springs and retainer

obviously still need valves but not sure on what else

any advise on what else is needed and if new from nissan would work or aftermarket is needed would be swell,

BTW dont have a power goal as such, just going to run a GT3582R at 25 pound, with the .8 rear

thanks

Dan

stem seals and if you have to spend the cash cam cap studs.

What is wrong with the current head - ie what needs replacing?

A GT35 running 25psi won't even stress a factory head in good condition, so don't get too excited spending money everywhere as you won't see any benefit.

yeh went pro cams. 270 10.8

the reason i want to do the hole head is cos i got the motor with a loud noise and unknown history.. turned out the bottom end was fine no spun bearing or any thing like that, so thats been fully rebuilt and dont want to take any risks with the head so start from scratch there aswell..

i have read enough to no that i didnt need to go all out with the head but dont want to risk it, might as well do it right the first time

If you do go the 1mm valves, make sur eu get the head ported by someone who has alot of experience and results, or u could go backwards.

Oversize valves sure makes it a hell of a lot easier to pick the seat up after fitting new guides...especially if the head has done a few miles and/or its been reco'd before...also makes the port job more effective and allows a nicer bowl shape.

looks like arp has bulk fasteners on page 79, which are rated at 180ksi tensile strength. Looks like grade 12.9 fasteners are rated to 1220mpa or 177ksi tensile, so about the same as the arp stuff.

tomei lists their studs as SCM435 material. see if you can find the tensile strength of it, as I gotta run, and then compare.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
