so head has been fully done by top rpm motorsport.
parts list
tomei 270 pro cams
tomei solid buckets
tomei 1mm over size valves
tomei cam cap studs
tomei type b springs and retainers
supertech bronze valve guides
supertech valve locks
full cnc ported intake/exhaust/cam relieves
might be missing something but its been build to handle hp...
parts that i could add with it and make it a complete head are:
all covers
tomei cam gears
h11 head studs
hks drag gasket kit
intake manifold

9000 just for the head and can start adding parts from there. if it doesnt sell for what i want ill just keep it and take my time doing it.. but feel free to make offers on the hole lot but wont be selling the other parts untill the head sells

I ended up buying and receiving this head from Neville. I've attempted to leave feedback, but something's gone wrong with the feedback system. I thought I'd put a post in here to give people a heads-up.

I received the built head in a few Corona boxes with the cams torqued down and valves extended [and unprotected]. Upon further inspection, I found that the incorrect cams were included in the head, and the clearances were dangerously out. Neville was initially responsive, stating that he would cover the costs of having the proper cams purchased and installed. After I'd had the work done, Neville stopped replying to my emails, sticking me with a $1200 bill. I've dropped him about a dozen emails, PMs, and a payment request. It's a shame; this is the first time I've ever been hosed by a forum purchase. Unfortunately recourse is difficult for me being overseas.

So tread lightly with this one in the future.

Shit mate :(

Guy must be hard up for money. Sad that people push their problems onto other people.

I've had mostly good experiences on the forums, but I think I have been lucky. It's the 1 in 50 bad transactions that stick out the most. Spending this much on gear I'd wanna fly there first too, but understand you're overseas in which case it's a risk you take :(

Hope you get it sorted. Was the other gear all there and legit?

Yeah, the rest of the gear was there. The shims were buggered though... tolerances were tight enough that on some valves I couldn't even get my thinnest feeler gauge in there. If I hadn't checked, I would've snapped the cams on first startup. 

Hopefully he ends up reaching out to me. If he needs time that's fine... it's just hard when somebody disappears on you and leaves you footing the bill.

I've bought probably a hundred items on web forums. Numerous cars, motors, bodywork, wheels, all manner of parts... you name it. And most of it internationally, given the nature of the cars I focus on. This is the first one that's bit me. Ah well. Hopefully I won't need to reach out to his bank. :/ 

Zero trader rating and only one post.......not a good start tbh.  And sympathy to you Brook......its always a hard call, to buy or not to buy - the extension of trust to a stranger.

Good luck with it, hope you get some satisfaction.  If you paid by Credit Card you can claim it back from your bank?

Have u spoken to management of SAU ? Perhaps they might be made aware if not already. Im sure all the people involved here will do their best to help you. Unfortunately a reminder to everybody to remain dilligent. Good luck man

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
