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

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
