Had a chat with Gerry a little while back about flow benching my head after i finish porting it, after a brief chat i realised i would get them to do all the head work as they know their shit and RB heads are done there on a weekly basis.

i went to Perth yesterday and took up my head and parts to suit. not sure if it was just because it was a saturday but 2 guys took an hour out of their time to discuss with me my intended output and all the modifications they recommended to do a good job. there was no pressure to spend lots and everything was explained in detail. they showed me around the workshop and got to see a dozen port jobs on various heads and i was blown away at the quality compared to the crap i had done to mine :whistling:

pricing was good too and as they do so many RB heads they said they would swap out any lifters with the wrong lash with spares they have. i can also swap the valve stem seals i got in the gasket kit for the better ones they are going to use.

Gerry is very helpful on the phone and worth talking to if your considering any head work. im looking forward to seeing the final result :thumbsup:

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
