Hi mate.

I have a 1995 Nissan skyline with an RB25det motor.

Now the car is highly modified. One of the problem’s that I’m experiencing is hydraulic lifter failing. I run about 30psi with a Haltech E.C.U. I’m sick of this lifter set up, and I’ve learnt that the GTR has solid lifters. Now I have heard of RB30’s running GTS-T head’s.

Now is it possible for a GTS-T to run a GTR head.????? (RB25DET block using GTR head)

I would like to use the solid lifter setup because of the speed in witch the RPM’s rises.

Do you guy’s feel that this is the solution to my problems. After about 4500 rpm’s it’s uncontrollable. It just bounces of the redline mark. (7500)

I know if I get rid of the GTS-T head, I will be loosing VTC. Well the motor right now has a stock head, and I’m planning on using some cams in the GTR’s head if I can use it.

If this is possible can you tell me what modifications I will have to do to get it to work?

Thanks mate.

Yes you can run the 26 head on the 25. You will need to have the head stud holes in the block tapped out as the 26 uses a larger diameter head bolt/stud.

You will also need to change your complete intake assembly and the exhaust manifold. Both hot and cold sides use a different bolt pattern to the 25.

Or, You could do as I and others have done and get a solid lifter conversion for your 25 head. do that and you have a "26 head" that takes all your 25 gear.

So seeing how i have to change all manifold hot and cold side, it would be easier to just convert to solid set up.

I have a problem finding some one that can do it. I tried RED RACING, But it seems like they are just to busy. They never reply to me.

Who did yours????

Well can the GTR's solid lifters work in the gtst's head.???? or do i need tomie set (witch i had in mind.) What would the valve clearance be with the solid set up.????

I was planning on building the head with 1mm over size valves, new guides, valve and springs with retainers, solid lifter convertion, port and polish, and new cam's.

I'm willing to spend 5k on the head if need be.

Thanks agian mate.

I used the supertech setup supplied by Big bad Dan at Elite racing. Its a comprehensive kit inc, o/s valves, dual valve springs, solid buckets,titanium retainers etc.have had zero issues with i to date so its all good as far as I'm concerned.

The neo head is another option but it too suffers from different bolt patterns on the intake side, different coil pack etc.

It can all be done. Just depends on what stage you are at.

If i were starting from the ground up I would probably use the 26 head but as I already had my hot and cold side sorted it was easier to convert the 25 head to solid operation.

Hi mate

Can you provide a link with the setup that you mentioned.

I'm saerching for it with no luck. With the 5k i have for the head build, i feel that the set up that you mentioned makes a lot of sence.

This kit do you have a link for it.???????????????

Thanks in advance mate.

That is what the kit will most likely consist of.

please look at the link i provided, and let me know if these parts will work with converting it to the solid set up.

http://www.imageinmotion.com/SUPERTECH01-SPRK-TS1015-RB25.htm In addition to the parts in your link on ebay.

Thanks mate.

If you have a look at the part numbers in your link and what I linked you to on Ebay, it looks like it is just the Spring Kit, not a "whole" kit of Springs and Valves.

You would also need the Solid Lifter Intake Valves and Solid Lifter Exhaust Valves.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
