Hello everyone,
My car is an r34 and It came with a rb25 de neo, i have Since made it a Forged De+T
The engine is a built bottom end neo de with Manley Rods, Garret gt3071r , and Cp 9:1 pistons, etc etc etc... 
The car has been running perfectly on a stock GTT ECU with peak 9psi of boost and i plan to stay around this relatively stock power level.  
The head is completely stock but the intake ports have been machined to near det size

I would like sleep better at night and build my head For reliability Concerns and my few questions are:

1- Can i use series 3 rb25Det turbo Cams on my de neo head? ( i have a complete series 3 rb25Det Engine doing nothing) 

2- I built my motor in November 2019 roughly 8 months ago, should i buy new arp head studs again?  I know i will Have to replace the head gasket 

3- What would be some advice or Recommendations for my build, any brands that are shit and not to buy, what are some good brands? 

Feel free to tell me any ideas or comments, i wanna learn and open to anything, Its my first time building a head 


 

 

If you are not planning to go for more power there is no point in head mods.
R33 rb25 cams will not work in neo head (hydraulic vs solid lifter)
ARP studs can be retorqued upto 3 times
If you do decide on cam, spring, retainer upgrade something from Kelford with their recommended spring combo

If you ever go for more power go to a Neo DET head, clean the ports up and thats it. Going to bigger cams will only shift the power band up higher.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
