selling my rb26 race head, i changed direction with my engine, after experienceing electrical problems with the gtr putting it in a workshop for a very long time and after alot of thinking deciding to change a few things, so hence the sale. i had a new head built for my new setup.

seen about 1500-2000km driving and dyno runs

was part of a setup that made 565awkw @ 21psi on pump fuel, so the head is good for it and is really really strong.

looking for around $7500, which is merely half of what it cost to build! needs to be sold asap to fund new setup.

Parts list:

Ferrea 1mm oversize stainless valves

Aftermarket valve guides

Apexi V-Max SPL springs, retainers and buckets

Apexi V-Max SPL 280 deg 11.5mm lift cams

Tomei camshaft stud kit

Trust cam gears

New stem seals

whats been done to the head:

Ported intake + exhaust runners

Profile guides

Polished + cc'd chambers

Unshroud valves in chamber

Flow benched and runner flow equalised

Steam hole modifications/water gallery modifications

Clearanced for high lift cams

Drilled for 1/2inch head studs

Flow figures:

Lift Int Exh

hey its only a 3L haha i built a new head because we did specific porting with it after some guidance from o/s regarding circuit work coz thats where i wanna focus most of the car, but its all goin together this week with a T51R KAI, so prob around 500AWKW but really responsive, torquey and a very nice curve. hows ur car goin, my bro saw i i think and tried to tell me to put an auto in it haha

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
