i like the work you have done but whats with the valves?..are they standard?

heres what a good head job looks like,i hope this helps a few if there thinking of doing head work.

Hey this is very nice. Looks the the quech area has been rounded off for the valves. I've seen this before, I'm impressed. Anyone else seen this stuff before?

not sure, as the gearbox wont shift above 9k rpm and i need oversize pulleys to prevent blowing the air con compressor up and to slow down the power steering and water pump (n1 which flows less already so might get hot in traffic with an oversize pulley and cruising speeds)

i think the need for over 9k rpm wont be very often as it is going to be a street car and not a drag/track car, so i need it reliable in traffic as much as possible, i have another daily driver, so wont be drivin it more than 1-2 times a week for cruises on weekends, or maybe the occasional thrash after work :O

the tuner i am using, does race/rally cars, and high power street cars, currently his best hp is just under 700hp at the wheels from an evo 6 i think (2L turbo)

just sorting all the fuel lines at the moment, and god damn they are pricey  ;)

spent $400 on turbo braided lines for water and oil

another $350+ on fuel lines and fittings

and i still havent got everything yet.  B)

cheers

Hey Brad,

I know what youre going thru with the braid and fittings; i must have spent about $1800 at earls this month on water, oil and fuel fittings!

Ive done a bit of research, and ive found that the teflon lined braided hose from Earls (Speed Flex its called) is the go for fuel. Everyone ive spoken to who have used normal braid have ended up with terrible fuel smell in the boot or cabin. If youve got the earls catalogue, you'll see that they have disclaimers everywhere about the use of high octane fuels with their conventional braid. Also, the Speed flex is graphite (?) lined so as to prevent the built up of static electricity. The braid is about $6/m more and the fittings are about 20 - 30% more but i feel its worth it.

Or they sell aluminium tubing that can be formed into shape for fuel lines with aluminium tubing adapters.

Just a thought.

Shaun.

yes ive used the teflon fuel braided line and fittings to suit :) thanks for the warning :) total ive spent now is $1200 on fittings and line for water and oil lines for turbo, fuel lines and oil filter relocator. looks the goods but ;)

also my valves r stock sizes.

i had the guys at rams head service in windsor in sydney do the work for me,they also did the head for mario(gtr-700),when the guys at jun seen the work they were inpressed,i supplied all jun gear,there cost of machning,assembly match porting the plenum,seal and settings,flow test,the lot was $3800,some would say thats alot but i think for the figures it produced im more than happy.

Wow all the pretty pics, but the real question is what does it flow

whats ohh mean?  ;)

its the sound of disappointment.....your last comment was "thats all for now"....so i responded "ohh".....i.e. i wanted to see more.

its getting very close now.

good luck with initial tune and run-in.

hehe, no worries thanx mate, and the oil filter is heaps out of the way above the swaybar almost so its got no hope off being hit as the sump/ xmember is way lower.

only bad issues is i got a stock gtr cooler on it at the moment, and no oil cooler (only 9L sump) so whats the opinions on that for the initial tune/and tune after run in of around 500rwhp.

might get an oil cooler, but im sure the gtr cooler could manage 500rwhp for the moment???

dangerous and risky or what? B)

Yes power levels generate heat but.....its how long and hard you run them for that increases damage/wear. For run-in it wont be needed...we only ran a cooler on ours recently due to the drag calander running events in Nov. and Dec.

Factor in a cooler later as its easy to intstal because you have the relocator.

Are you running a Nismo thermostat ??

P.S. you thought i was having a go at you with the ohh comment....lol

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
