Surely there is a limit as too the maximum amount that the rb20det head can be skimmed.there must be a way to measure maybe a reference point on the top of the head to the block mating surface.i don't want to buy another unskimmed head as a reference, as that will tell me nothing other than mine is thinner.i just want to make sure im not gonna increase my compression ratio on my stock bottom end and damage anything.

At the end of the day, someone will have had to really hack into the thing for it to be considered 'too thin' to use. Not too many machinists would do that.

Rb20det comes from the factory with quite a low compression ratio as it is. A couple points more static CR is only a good thing.

When you put it back together, just be sure to get it on a dyno.

Cheers

This ^ at 8:5 to 1 an increase in CR wont harm the motor

Piggaz advice is 100% valid. Put the valves in with some grease around the seats to make sure they seal. Get the clear part of a CD case and drill a 5mm hole in the middle. Slap that on the head face with a smear of grease to seal it. Set the head so it's nice and level. Use a burette or even a syringe to measure how much water you put in through the hole. Even with rough set up and equipment you'll be able to find out to within a fraction of a CC what the volume is. Job done.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
