R32 Gtr Long Term Love, Now Project

Yeah they are set more for response rather then a top end figure

[Count Grantleyish]

No this isn't an American dyno

Send it to States and gain 1000kW.

You know you want to.

[r32-25t]

So the e85 result is in and it was better then I expected, haven't picked it up yet so can't comment on how it drives yet but I got sent this from jez

So thats 348.5kw at 1.65bar

[Piggaz]

Nice effort, head.

Is that 3rd or 4th gear runs? Damn it Jezzebelle and you're speed dyno sheets .

[r32-25t]

I'm assuming 4th

[r32-25t]

Picked the car up today and am very happy with how it drives. so smooth, has factory if not better then factory response and doesn't drop off between gear changes

Definitely not the fastest Gtr I've ever driven but it's what i was hoping for, now I just need to find that extra 25kw

Raise the boost.

Job done.

[r32-25t]

They're as tapped out as they are going to get

Nice thread. Just read from start to finish. Love the colour!

Looking forward to more updates.

[r32-25t]

Thanks mate been a long road to the point

[r32-25t]

A couple days after picking the car up I took the wife for a drive and when I gave it a boot full the revs came up to 5-6,000 then power started to disappear and it got to 7,000 and just sat there. Basically it had the classic signs of valve float

of corse that now meant more work for me but lucky for me I had a set of upgraded valve springs sitting around that didn't work in a previous build due to the seats being cut in that head.

Of corse first things first the timing belt and covers all had to come off

[r32-25t]

And then removed the cam caps and cams

All still factory

[r32-25t]

Then out comes the lifter

Out comes the retainer

And the new and old spring side by side

[r32-25t]

And all the old springs out on the table

[r32-25t]

Also had time for a while I'm in there job

And the new stud and the old bolt next to each other

[XGTRX]

Awesome man.

[r32-25t]

While I had it all apart thought I should fix up something every seems to keep pointing out

So the thing I'm talking about is these

I had also these also from the previous project and grabbed them while I had it apart

And here's what they look like fitted on the engine

[jmknights93]

Purple looks good

[r32-25t]

Thanks, isn't something I can say I've seen very often but I like it

[r32-25t]

Got this to replace the pcv

And here's what it looks like all together and running again
