Hi all,

So at the moment i am currently building my first 25/30, really my first engine and i'm needing some advice.

i have gone with cp pistons, Manley rods, i will be running gtr n1 oil pump fitted with oil collar. with a cometic head gasket, all arp studs and acl king bearings.

compression is sitting low 8 cant remember exact 8.1. head is rb25det as well

so my question would be, what oil restrictors are people running?if any at all? needing to know this asap

and i'm also looking at changing valve springs and maybe cams, im wanting to keep the hydraulic lifters, unless someone can convince me otherwise.

what cams and valve springs should i run or could i just run standard cams and different valve springs with higher seat pressure?

overall looking to get anywhere from 500-650 hp

Thanks :rolleyes:

I ran 2 x 1.3mm restrictors in mine.

I still had VCT and did the internal mod so I was robbing oil from the lifters to run it.

Not sure how effective that was because when the VCT is on, it is shut and holding pressure on the cam pulley so that it can advance. When it de-activates, it opens up and releases the pressure which means it is flowing and adding to the amount of oil in the head ( I'm not 100% sure because I don't have a head here to inspect and I'm not sure if the VCT had it's own drain. I am pretty sure it uses the head drains)

Anyway, If I did it again I would look at using 1.2mm feeds. EVen they seem to be big enough from what I have heard.

You need more compression...9:1 or better. I used 2 x 1.0mm restrictors.Depending on the head you are using you may benefit from some higher lift cams without excessive overlap (a custom grind) and retaining VCT. Read the latter part of the oil control thread re venting your sump.

    • I can ship Nismo floor mats to you: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/nismo-floor-mats-for-skyline-r33-bcnr33-stagea-wgnc34?_pos=1&_sid=9278c1467&_ss=r  
    • Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.
    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
