Long story short I got a blown rb26 collecting dust in the garage and a rebuild 25 at the machine shop atm, I'm looking to put the 26's cam cover on the 25 but I noticed that on the Rb25 Head the oil baffles over the cams are on the 2 last lobes in the back of the head rather then the 2 front on the RB26. This makes sense because the rb25 stock covers pick up the air in the back of the cover and the 26's picks up in the front. Now my question is, should I relocate those oil baffles to prevent oil from going back in the catch can !?

Would make sense to do so but just want to check if some one has gone down that road and can give me some advice

From my research you just use the hose's as they are on either set of covers, two problems you will have, if you use the standard cross over rb25 manifold the drivers side cover will hit the throttle body and the front cover (which is essential to get the smooth look of the 26 covers) will not fit over the cas, you will either have to enlarge the hump in some way or cut a hole for the cas to come through.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
