Hello recently took off my head r32 rb25de before a first start because there was metal shavings still in the head.  I had a shop machine the head and didn't do it right I had my machinist that I trust disassembled it and looked it over.  He found that the other shop painted the insides of the head and did a valve job that doesn't even seal.  So in short I need new OEM rb25det valves so he can machine them to seal cuz if he were to machine the current ones they would be too thin.  Even if you only have one set Ex or IN Ill buy.  They have to be oem not machined or ground.

Hmm. Good luck. I realise you're probably trying to save money, but this looks to be an opportunity to put some Ferreas or similar in it.

Yea your right but my machinist told me that Nissan and most Hondas have very good valves and are better then some aftermarket I trust him cuz he builds a lot of high hp engines

We're staring to get many more threads where we have to suggest a different engine builder/mechanic/tuner/. Too many cases of silly things being believed/said.

Nissan valves are in fact quite good, but....they're certainly nowhere near as good as really nice aftermarket valves.

Idk I really do trust my current machinist he’s built Ryan litterals rb but besides that I ended up buying a rb25det head took the valves and sold the core to one of the machinist customers

Without being contrary, I doubt anyone, ever, has replaced factory valves with same sized aftermarket. 

you only change the valves if you are going 1mm oversize...

I was going to but I really don’t think I need that for 450hp

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
