    Head gasket thickness is crucial on a built engine especially with a positive deck height. I wouldn't have put a thinner one on but I don't think that would actually cause the valves to hit. Have you triple checked the cam timing?

    The boost controller can't drop the boost any lower than wastegate pressure, which also can't be zero so can't be that. Look into your intake pipe. I know you said it was modified, but that closing shut would do what you describe.

    technically it's the awd stagea Neos that don't have it, rwd stagea has tc. Though most Stageas are awd

    even though that's a detailed description only you can find the leak. degrease it all and look for it. I wouldn't go to enzed unless you want to pay a fortune. Surely you could just get one that looks good from a wrecker. u pull it in adelaide sell complete power steering setups including rack for around 200 from memory.

    Well good luck with it all. If you thought gtrs were sequential you are in trouble.....

    wise words

    hell no
  8. Ben C34
    correct, along with the wiring of the cas is different, but the clincher is that it won't fit!
  9. Ben C34
    I would guess and say earlier ones would fit. I doubt they would have changed anything ( based on the rb30 power steering bracket is the same for a neo pump)

    Can't see thread tags on phone. It's my understanding that you should not let a new cam idle, it should be run at around 2000rpm for 20 minutes to run it in. Not sure what Tomei recommend.

    nooooo. due to the heaps different profile of the solid lifter r34 cams they wouldn't be suitable with hydraulic lifters. fitting in and working are 2 very different things. ....

    If you think you have a boost leak, pressure test the system. Do a search to see how to do it.

    old cars (heaps old) had no water pump. The water does move through the block and radiator by thermo siphon. It also doesn't heat up as quick as you think, think about drag cars with no radiators.
  14. Ben C34
    I would drive out a little with out the belt. It won't instantly overheat, the coolant will still thermo siphon through the engine/radiator. Anyway doesn't sound like it is the belt anyway. Good luck sussing it.
  15. Ben C34
    fair enough. To put it another way if your speedo was showing 20kph when the car is off, that would also be wrong.

    gauge is fded. Isn't that obvious?
  17. Ben C34
    burn!
  18. Ben C34
    Look further into your oil pressure issues man!
  19. Ben C34
    an after market gauge will just be more accurate. And might not fix your problem, especially if nothing is wrong with your gauge and you actually have an oil pressure problem. Can you explain how your car is running "sluggish"?
  20. Ben C34
    Wouldn't the block already be seasoned as it is at least 20 years old? sweet build btw. All the best with it
  21. Ben C34
    No way could it be misaligned.
  22. Ben C34
    nah. I have id725 injectors with nistune and car starts instantly. I also had a wolf 3d v4 10 years ago. It is an old computer....
  23. Ben C34
    missed that.ptshhhhh on.
  24. Ben C34
    ps. Just noticed you have atmo bov ..... ; (

    While the head is out though I would just tidy up the exhaust ports. The huge lump around the stud is easy to grind off. how much difference it makes, don't know, but won't hurt it.
