When old man 32 gtr said I would have to drive slow so he can keep up 

More that I was asking about the engine pushing water.

Oh last time I went roll racing the engine lifted the head and started pushing water out the over flow on boost

Adam is a gun, you’re in good hands. PPG does not have provisions for reverse lights so they won’t work. You still have the switch on the outside of the box, but there’s nothing internally to trigger it. 
this is what I was told, after the PPG was fitted! Lol 
You will be amazed how fast it shifts compared to a synchro box.  

[r32-25t]

I trust Adam and he’s kind of close to home which is great. 
 

There’s no external switch on mine but on the gear indicator box there’s a wire marked reverse light +ve and I’m assuming that triggers the reverse lights,

I drove it on the jack stands to make sure all the gears were there and the neutral lock was working correctly. Guess is should pull it off the stands

Hopefully this works

Did some shopping 

[r32-25t]

Decided to go through all the boxes todaysprings

over sized valves

buckets 

guides and locks 

and cam cap studs 

basically everything needed to make the head better then new

What cams are you using?

I’m in 2 minds on what I want to do for the cams, mainly revolving around weather to keep the vcam or not 

[Robzilla32]

I thought VCAM was the nirvana for RB26?

[r32-25t]

It’s definitely seen that way and does add plenty of low down torque and response, but if I’m going to do this much to the head and etc, do I take full advantage of the extra flow and get some cams in there with plenty of lift?

Yeah, tough decision, but if you got it, probably best to stick with the V cam? If you want more flow, strap a bigger turbo to it 😁👍🏼

I did have someone recommend a 6870 but the 6466 is lots of fun and still has a lot more to give

64/66 is perfect, with the V cam would be quite responsive as well, perfect set up, just fix the head and turn it up! 
what power did you last make? 
I can get you a drive in a GTR with a 64/66 turned all the way up and backed by a PPG sequential if you want an idea of what it’s capable of. Just shoot me a pm if you’re interested.

It made 465 at 27psi according to the dyno sheet but the run finished at 6,600rpm due to a cooler hose popping so would be making a bit more at 8,000. 

id be keen on that, I’ll flick you a pm by this afternoon

Regrind the vcam? Best of both worlds

Pms sent

Did a bit more shopping 

a nice set of nitto forged pistons 

And a set of nitto rods

[r32-25t]

Oh I missed the best part 

a nitto 77.7mm (2.8L) stroker crank

About farken time!
