Lol.

Piss off Ash.

I went down there on Tuesday and they were just about to start on it. I'll be down there tomorrow to drop off something so I'll see how they're going. I've got a week off work the week after next so I should have some decent progress there.

I've decided to give the -5's a run first, Atleast to get a baseline and to see how much of a difference this head has made.

I also got my balance tube back from HKS as they have ported it to suit the head. I'll put pics of that up when I get it back from Hypertune on Friday.

less faggotry more build thread!

Dave, I like it, no bullshit and straight to the point !!

Paul will never have this engine finished.

Infact this mystical japanese head doesn't even exist. He just copied some pictures from the depths of google

Ash , I can tell you its 100% for real as I had to lug the bloody thing in my carry on back from Jappa.

No I'm not Mike.

If you were would be a good basis for comparison to other results... we dont race flow benches (or dynos) but it is the only measuring stick we have to go by for heads.

ok, just caught up from like page 3 hahaha :D

as for your suspension, i don't think they'll be too firm if the shocks are up for it. I believe my Arragosta's are 14/12 kg springs which i was absolutely dreading, but really, they're fine on the road. So i reckon you're R-tunes will be fine...

in fact, man up... get some silly Jap rate springs in there! :D

Agreed and the best way to measure your gains with back to back dyno testing. I can't imagine the withdrawal symptoms u are experiencing Paul...almost there

Yeah getting there man. This thing is gonna cop the biggest raping of its life when its back together!

Yeah I know man, however it's so close to being put together that Im not going to take such a critical part away from the builder. Sick of waiting.... Need to be launching!

Well, i've had them in the car for a little bit (100 kms or so). They were firm but also compliant (if that makes sense). I'd it's the valving in them. I was expecting it to be 4 gum tree stumps in there. That was on 19's with 30 series tyres, so i'd hope to think that with a 265-285 35 x 18 tyre will help.... even if ever so slightly.

OK. Finally a little update

I got my balance tube back from HKS. That got ported and matched up to the port size and shape of my head

I took it out to Hypertune so it could get modified for whats called the "JUN cooling mod"... Well that seems to be the most common name for it.

Keen eyes will notice the 6 holes where the air would be have now been filled up and the water galleries have been tapped to accept a fitting. Out of each of these there will a -4 line that goes to a header tank. The wiring loom has to move so that will be rerun under the runners of the plenum.

Also there has been a camshaft change. Unigroup (Well Yavuz) went and picked a lobe that was much more aggresive than what the Japs have to offer.

Very nice paul. Good to see progress mang. I might take you up on that offer too mate. Ill call you about it tomorrow and we can organise something. Interested to see the camshafts too. Lift change? duration change?

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
