Haha f**k how did you manage that? I understand on RB30 ones which have cooked old crusty oil in the keyway preventing the 10mm hex key getting in there.

Surprised you didn't put a V8 in already :P

2JZ-GTE VVT-i with a GTX4088R, twin gates, twin scroll would be my pick :)

But... I'm poor.

Managed to get out the remaining head bolts by cleaning the head, removing all debris/oil/shit then hammering in a hex slightly the wrong size in.

Next surprise were the cylinders, dirtier than a Kings Cross hooker, surprisingly the cylinder bores were still good! Used a bit of elbow grease and cleaned them up and now sits ontop a thin layer of oil.

Head will be sent off next week the Hanoi fit new seals, retainers, springs, cams and possibly adjustment to shims  (if required).

head being sent off, getting a few basic things done:

  • light skim for straightness
  • a good clean because it's dirtier than a kings cross hooker
  • installation of stiffer valve springs, titanium retainers
  • installation of cams and shims check/replaced to suit

Also are R33 and R34 RB25DET balancers the same? well I know the R34 under drives the AC compared to the R33 one.. but are the ribs the same?

I have a R34 NEO going in but with R33 PS, AC.. so thought it would be best to use the R33 balancer for obvious reasons. Searching the site (on Google) didn't reveal any answers.

So used the gates website and I can see that both use the same ribs.. however length is different due to the drive:

4 Rib A/C Belt:
R34 RB25DET NEO is 915mm
R33 RB25DET S1/2 is 915mm

4 Rib Water Pump/Alternator Belt:
R34 RB25DET NEO is 890mm
R33 RB25DET S1/2 is  855mm

Turns out the R34 uses a 4 Rib Power Steering Belt and the R33 uses a 3 Rib.

Guess I've answered my own questions haha.

Still has pads? Weak source. They should be removed for 1000hp builds... Do it. 

No... I'm not a moron.

    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
