Rang the guys at UE today. A new set of injectors are in the car. It hasn't been ran up under load yet so we don't know if thats the issue. Tomorrow we will know. I have a funny feeling its a valve spring. Stupid car!

I wouldn't think it's a valve spring because you say it only does it when loaded up .. A dud valve spring & it would be rooted everywhere .

At 19 psi it happens at 7000 RPM

at 26 is happens at 5000 RPM off

at half throttle we can turn it to 8500.

More pressure behind the valve forcing it open? I'm sure the ramp rates of these cams are not helping the situation haha.

I had a miss with my other gtr and the cause was a faulty coil pack (what do u expect after 20yrs of abuse). Splitfires fixed that.

However, your above post throws my theory out as it definitely sounds more mechanical. I agree with u paul but its not an educated guess.

Definately not coils. Borrowed Joey's set which did 430 ish 2 hours before hand.

Wasn't this a freshly built head with new springs etc ..

Hmm it's strange alright but I would still think if a spring was off you would still encounter problems at 8500 rpm .. But it doesn't do it at partial throttle.

Everything in the head was brand new. The springs are HKS step 2's. Maybe due to the fast closing of the valve it's just enough to cause issue with higher boost at higher RPM?

Shim the valve springs. They need more seat pressure!

What Sean said . I tried looking for the spring pressures on HKS step 2's , but can't find figures .

It would seem you may have a much too aggressive profile for the springs .

    • 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
