anyway....back to the topic.... SUPPLIER of lifters other than Nissan??????ANYONE?

$466 for a new set is cheap? for all 24? standard hydraulic or solids? from who? this sounds good.....

Thanks for the offer, but each time I took the exhaust cam out chasing the problem, apon assembly another lifter would die and another cylinder drops out. I am thinking I don't want to take the chance with more s/h lifters! Someone out there during a rebuild must have sorced some new lifters from a non OEM source! Cheers Boys....

Other than Nissan pulling my pants down @ $100 each lifter, anyone else found a cheap alternative? Cheers Lads!

Thanks guys, still looking for a cheap supplier of lifters to help me!!!!

Cheers! Anyone else....?

Aha! Do i need to swap over to solid lifters? What if i bought your HKS rb25 cams?

Cams coming out for lifter issue, might as well put some gtr cams in. Who's got'em ? I want'em! Steve

Important Update!!!!! Did a leak down test and found exhaust valves open on cyl 5 ! AHA! Pulled the cams out and wacked 2 new lifters in it (OW!$100 each from nissan). Put it back together and cranked it.........Beautiful-No 5 no probs.... but now no comp in 1 and 4.....WHAT THE? We chopped one of the old lifters in half and found some carbon in it so we think that the lifters must be sucking that crap into them when they pump up and can't bleed down thus holding the valves open. Looks like I need to replace them all!! We have been bleeding them down before assembling the head, this is the right procedure yeah? If we have to replace the lifters does anyone know of a cheaper supplier than oem? Anyone rebuilt heads with similar probs got any stories or techniques to share? Would love to hear your thoughts! Cheers P.S Still pretty happy its not terminal though....phew!

From a GTST perspective, 3 years ago I upgraded my fuel rail because my rb25/30 conversion needed more fuel for our power level than the standard r33 gtst injectors could supply. I could not find a cheap side feed injector upgrade option at the time! A Custom rail and cheap 550cc rx7 top feed did the job in my case.

ta guy's, spoke to engine builder. We both agree before we start pulling the thing apart i am going to pull the loom off the injector on the cyl so i dont wash the bores and run it for 5 mins to see if thats all it needs.......hmmmm.

OK, did a leak down test and when you pump some air into the cylinder you can hear the exhaust at the back whistling a sad tune........not good......exhaust valve issue.........bugger... :

Brand new RB25/30 long motor built by RB specialist, installed it last night and it has no comp on cycl 5! Holy shite. Very confident nothing got in it during installation and don't doubt the builders skills but what could it be? If I had to guess I assume it must be stuck valve but how? How does the hydraulic set-up work? Could they be not yet pumped up? After getting oil pressure up (took the inj fuse out and cranked) I started it for about 1-2 mins thinking the plugs where fouled and it would fire up on all 6 after a bit but no good... I don't want to run it anymore as all the fuel in the cylinder will be washing the bores clean and that would be bad.....Any ideas before I have to pull the rocker covers off and start to investigatagtion the top end first?

Hi Adrian, Great idea in principle, and it would be nice to see everything in hi res jpeg detail !.....but everyone knows what a z32 afm look like (google it if you don't) and who wants to see what a standard exhaust manifold looks like. Unfortunately a lot of the forum users are dreamers having a little "personal time with themselves" and wanting pics too look at to fill in time. Sure their comments of "Good luck! I wish I could afford it" give you a free bump, but that's the type of bandwidth waste we want to cut out!. The great thing with the internet is the size of the market you can get too! but you also must deal with the unwanted extra white noise that comes with the www. Unfortunately, to buy and sell in this funky area we call the forums.... you have to be a little bit tough, deal with the dickheads and losers and even take a chance or two, because every now and then, you just might do business with a the core group of "realistic" enthusiasts that love these cars and engines. Anyone else got some idea's or constuctive comments?

Sale fell over, back on the market!!
