Running std hydraulic lifters with GTR Valve springs and cams...only changing the valve springs as my engine has done 170,00kms so probably well past their best.

Good quesiton about the cam differences R32 to R33 etc. Could be the different turbos and tuning that increased the torque more then a mechanical change in the engine...i think the cams im getting are off an R32 GTR

Is there any differance in the valve springs? I am most probably going to do all my mods on another motor I have bought, and then swap the newer motor in, so if there is a advantage in swapping springs I might do that as well

The cam differance question I posed is a interesting one, I wouldn't be surprised if each model is slightly differant, due to each model having to meet stricter emmissions laws etc. Or it could be just differant tuning? Who knows, but it would be good to compare each model cam side by side to see if there was any huge differances

Im not sure of a difference in the valve springs, im not using them expecting increased performance over RB20DET springs, im using them because they are newer, therefore likely to perform better.

If i was building up an engine i woudl definitley consider new valve springs, new, not necessarily aftermarket performance springs just new.

Ok, I'm not building a engine as such, just looking to improve a motor I have bought, so the cams will hopefully be going in, but not sure about newer springs. The motor has around 50,000 on it, so the springs should still be in good condition (hopefully)

If I can get a set of springs with some cams - it will be a bonus, if not, cams by themselves will do for me

Aftermarket (new) valve springs are cheaper than buying standard (new) valve springs.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
