Yeh, when I went looking to replace my R31 GTS-X so many of the 32s I was looking at were in rather horrible condition and a bit tacky with mods and bits on them. I saw the 32 and the AVS wheels, very tody condition and just HKS filter and exhaust made me jump at it. So glad I did as the alternative was a red 300ZX TT and whilst I still have a soft spot for the ZED it woudl never have been able to grow with me and do all the things the 32 has as cheaply as it has

First of all just read through the whole thread and god damn you sir are a pioneer.I rebuild turbos for a living so its good to see the real world benefits. Im also in the midst of rebuilding a 20det with a few bits and pieces to place in a 31. Just had a question as far as the 25 head on you're current setup did the head mods use the factory 25de valve spring retainers or they use the GTR ones.

Thnks for the read.

The valve springs are a question mark and they will soon be coming out and replaced with some Tomei springs.

Sadly the RB24 isnt going to happen. I plan on taking the car to Europe next year and need to save money so sold all the RB24 gear to another forum member who is cracking on with a quality build which I am going to be exited to see the results of.

Longer term I am being boring and going to put a std RB26 in it and engineer it all so that I can enjoy it on the street and track

Geeze, a real shame you'll only make it to a half dozen or so tracks... bastard. Impromptu garage clean up / sale to fund more?

Any chance of at least driving some of those brilliant roads you always read about in evo? Welsh hillsides, Swiss mountain passes, etc

I did 10 or so days of driving through the Swiss, Italian and Austrian Alps before importing my Sierra Cosworth RS back to Aus. That was back in 2011. Wow, how time flies.

I am going to Le Mans and Spain in a few weeks so planning on doing some of those Spanish roads EVO uses.

f5twister, Even if I have my gate atmo, which I doubt I will I dont think I will have much trouble with noise at Spa. I have only ever seen a few crazy loud race cars get pinged for noise...and seen loads of crazy loud cars run all day. Do you know any different?

    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
