just to add my $1.29 to the steam pipe stuff, yes there for steam. a lot of factorys run off steam power still. sheridans (quilts/sheets) i did some work at years back and most of the machines there ran off steam.

not sure on the balancer just yet but at first looks it looks like it should work. as for the RB30's and how long they last, ive known of them doing up to 400,000k's and still been going strong. mine has done 214,000 and the bores still look awesome. and im basically going to be doing exactly the same as you and throw the r33 rb25 head on the untouched rb30 bottom end and see how long it will last and the power i can get outa it. when it blows, if im happy with the power it makes and how long it lasted ill just get another $50 bottom end and start again.

just FYI your better off looking for an R31 skyline for the motor, as a general rule nissan owners tend to look after there cars better and the motors are in heaps better condition. atleast thats what i found lookin at the average VL versus the average R31. if the motor your looking at gettin still has the head on it take a look under the oil cap and check how much sludge is in it. all the nissans i saw were relatively clean and all the vl's were cloged up. this is looking at around 30 different motors. also r31's use triple flat belt harmonic balancers

GTR = 444cc? i havent used a nismo FPR before, but found with the malpasi pressure was all over the place. played up with a/f's something shocking. removed it and went back to the stocker and the a/f graph was flat again. ive told people since not to bother with them. and of the tuners i know agree on the bandaid solution with them. IE better just to get injectors that suit the power you are looking for.

= bad spray patterns = uneven burn = poor econ, power, and dangerous. i hate FPRs. been tuning with them and they never seem to work nicely, but more to the point there not much cheaper than a set of 2nd hand larger injectors and there only a bandaid solution at best. save ya money and get some GTR injectors or something and use the stock 1:1 FRP u wont be sorry

dosent the head locate its self on the dowls? so the GTR bolts would only be more resistant to stretch? and im assuming 650bhp (480kw) is power at all 4? if so.... nice... strong boxes

you wont need the external oil feed for a GTR head, thats only R33 gts/gtst heads. and its the bottom g-box mounts that need redrilling/sloting

yep received and awesomely happy. this sellers 100% recommended. good luck with selling the rest of ya stuff, and thanx again Dan

umm why is it the pic is of one of those cheap ass ebay manifolds then?

i didnt quite wana be so blunt, but yer SR turbo. wonder who the sucker was that bought it and if they thought it was an RB turbo.

but the manifold in the pic is a T2 flange? is that not the manifold you are selling? can i have another pic of turbo and manifold clearly showing the exhaust flanges thanx dan

have you had the typical overheating problems you get with cheap bar and plate coolers? none of them let air through them and into the radiators. those cheap chineese coolers are worth every cent of there couple hondred bux, but never compare them to a quality jap core, stock GTR core will work better than a chineese core. id much rather $200 for a gtr core than $200 for a brand new B&P core. good luck with ya car and good luck with ya sale

if its for an SR wouldnt it be T2 flange? does the turbo bolt up to your manifold?

what happened to the 6th one? have they been tested?

unless for some funny reason greedy changed there stuff to suit top feed as well as ive seen some aftermarket setups. but yes generally SR, r33 RB25 = side feeds, RB20,26 = top feeds. tho if you can get 6x side feed s15 inj's they flow more fuel than the stock r33 items.
