  1. If its got VCT it needs one for that, but for the two in the block block the center one and try a 1.5mm at the rear.
  2. The NEO head has solid lifters which will be able to rev higher but it still retains the VCT so it revs quicker. You can also restrict the oil in the head more due to not needing oil to pump up the hydrolic lifters. Theres lots of threads in relation to this, have a bit of a search around the RB30 hybrid thread in the forced induction thread.
  3. You need to be a bit more specific, there is a coulpe of 25 heads to chose from, I believe the one you want is from a R34 RB25 NEO. VCT and solid lifters. Shop Smart, Shop S Mart.
  4. Be aware that works on the street or the drags may not on the track. With stock VCT restrictor and 2 x 1mm restrictors in the head mine was fine on the street or at the drags but spewed oil on the track. To control the oil now my restricters are 0.6 VCT, 1 X 0.8 for the head, drilled out oil returns, 2 x head drains or sump vents (if your that way inclined), catch can drains back to sump, even with this it was spitting oil a bit so I got RB26 cam covers with MINES baffles and foam inserts, I head out to Wakefield this Saturday with my fingers crossed. The TOMIE pump was a problem as the pressure was 120 psi at 6000 rpm, so I got a regulator installed and now it sits at about 90 psi. If your building from scratch use the R34 RB25? head as its got VCT and solid lifters (best of both worlds) VCT works great, I disconected it and noticed straight away the car was much slower to come on to power, when I connected it again it came on good again ( well as good as a TO4Z comes on anyway) Good luck, Mark
  5. TOMEI pump VCT = 0.6mm Head has the restrictors blocked and a 0.8mm feed tapped into the oil gallerey on the cold side of the head.
  6. Im after the passenger side front swaybar bracket, you have ?

  9. O I was talking about matte paint not wrap, I say this in the first line of my post. How much does a full wrap cost anyway, the best product I've seen has a life span of 5 yrs, OK if the car live in these garage and only come out on the weekend but from what I've seen they are lucky to get a couple of yrs out of it before it starts to look "tacky". And beware the bird poo, a couple of hours is all that's needed to let the acids in it to start etching the paint/wrap.
  10. The maintenance of a matte paint is very high, a wrap is slightly cheaper but may last longer, you need to clean it straight away if a bird shit on it or a bug hits it or tree SAP gets on it as the acids will stain it. You cannot use wash and wax car wash on it either. I had the rear wing done in matte black, that lasted 2 weeks before I got the shits with it and gave it a good polish and wax, its now sort of flat black. It does look smick for a while though, I estimate 2 weeks if the car gets driven regularly.
  11. Bump, still need these
  12. Happens all the time to me though not through oil loss, happens if your running a little bit rich.
  13. What's needed is a facility that has a sealed track, a dirt track, a motocross track and a 4WD track. All we need is some super rich guy who like his motorsport to buy some land and build it up, shouldn't cost more than $50,000,000. Have it close enough to the big smoke to get in the punters but far enough out to stop the whinging bastards happy. If I win the $70,000,000 lotto next week I'll do it, I'm sure you could make some dollars by getting all the disciplines using it, hell the sealed road, tower and sheds would be the main things that big dollars would be spent on, the dirt sections are the work of a loader and grader which would only need minimal maintenance and the 4wd track wouldn't need maintaining much as they like getting bogged and self recovering anyway. All we need is a table top mountain somewhere with about 3 square kilometres. And a rich guy.

  15. Unfortunately yes.
  16. Signed, I'm still waiting for the driver training one near Lucas Heights
  17. No new graphs mate, I really should get one, LOL. When I get my fuel system sorted (was >75% duty at 414 I think from memory) and run 30psi through the TO4Z Ill get one to post up. Maybe next year
  18. Dont be near Wakie on the 19 of May then, the fear levels may drop after the first session if the engine bay isnt covered in oil. Im loving the power of the boat ATM but the oil issues are breaking my balls, hopefully will be fixed after the new cam covers/baffles and catch can are in. Either that or Im just going to go and buy some Drag Radials for the rear and only go in a straight line, the car has no problems doing that, stupid f**king car.
  19. Just spoke to Jonathon Graham (WRX guy) and he said as long as the car passes Scruit and you are a member of a CAMS affiliated club (SAUNSW) you are good to go. You can pay by the link in the entry form, fill in the entry form and email it to Jonathons email address. If you pay before 11 May cost is $165. Mark
  20. Yes, I believe it will, I'm thinking when it starts up Satan will be wanting to sponsor it and any red blooded male with get a warm feeling in their pants.
  21. I've got trackmaster, I set it up at Wakie and it seemed fine, I did forget to start it though and the car dropped oil and I dropped my show bags, I will give it a good run on the 19 may at Wakie and compare the results to NATSOFT and see how close it is. If I remember to start it that is...
  22. When I started my apprenticeship in 1981 I was on $65 a week. I still had enough money to save for my 1st car, a Mini, it was awesome.
