Pauter titanium x beams. At around 9k for a set landed and sized that's got the rods covered. As for Pistons, you can custom order Pistons from the mclaren Mercedes engine division at around 25k, however the tolerances required to run these mean you must preheat all fluids and componentry before starting. However, at 400kw with "room to grow" you aren't giving enough information. For a basic build, do what the other 40 thousand rb owners have done, cp and a good h or I beam from Manley, spool, God, I dunno, look.

Not sure if true, but ive heard that valve springs can be damaged if motor is flogged cold? I cant imagine a mechanic in Japan working for Mines, to say no no no, don't use tomei, use only supertech!! lol... just saying... :ph34r:

Read it on Oztrack.com.au , there's other causes like bouncing off the limiter, overheating etc..

there was a thread only about a month ago where someone else had exactly the same issue and fixed it by fitting non Japanese branded valve springs, really it's up to you, you can listen to people who have real world experience with their own cars, or you can listen to brand fan boys who's experience is something they once read that someone posted about their neighbors cousins sisters boyfriends friends car

At the end of the day it's your money and your car and what you do with them is your choice, but it's not always the poor man that pays twice, some times the ignorant man does as well

I run tomei springs and valve guides etc etc.

Reason.

Guy ran same head work for 100,000km's before the rod snapped (same story blah blah). Seen the rod. What a mess.

The guy that built the engine is Japanese and did say with the jap kit it requires knowledge on how to assemble them.

Anyway - im sure there is some good kit in aussie. Would be tempted for nitto stocker one day :)

The tomei springs will work as long as the valve seats have not been cut, the issue is that these engine are now old enough, that if you don't cut the seat you end up with leaking valves.

Of corse there is some good stuff here, Japan asked us not to bring our group A cars over there 25 years ago, so we've always been a head of the game

haha.. you must be joking, ahead of the game? so are you saying Australian cars are ahead of the game on the japs, I don't think the 35GTR is behind any game anywhere...

Oh dear. He was referring to the Gibson Motorsport Group A R32's which were massively ahead of their Japanese counterparts in the Group A era and also to the high levels of competence and knowledge base in our local motorsport. He was not talking about the manufacture of road cars.

You're right I did edit the post but the only thing I changed was the 1 to a 2 because I hit the wrong key, the rest is exactly how I posted it in the first place

Most people would have reconized it was supposed to be 25 due to group A no longer existing after 92

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
