Hey Abo Bob,

Thanks for your e-mail, i appreciate your input.

Just one question:

Between 2k-5krpm how much timing are you running?

You also mentioned an issue with porting, but the example you used related to an rb26. I personally would not touch the head of a 26, as they were engineered for race purposes, apart from port/manifold matching as stated. The rb25 on the other hand is totally different and i still believe gains are had from porting, provided it is done by a profesional porter.

I run stock R33 S1, rb25det, compession. (i think it is 8.5:1 or 9:1??????)

adam also runs an auto which may (or may not) affect dyno readings and spool up related to manuals (effect of torque converter vs no torque converter).

Have you got head work too Bris?

..only when i was dropped in the hospital, and when i fell from the 3rd floor verandah...oh and the time when my brother hit me in the head with a 3 iron...:P

I wouldnt bother with headwork unless your head is off the car. New gaskets, plus the head reco to go along with the porting...too much money.

Now I'm interested.

Al. Fark you and your bloody head porting. You too SK. I thought I'd been able to get the modification bug out of my system. Now I want head porting. You both suck. ;)

;) Couldn't stop laughing when i read this, GOLD. :angry::rofl:

DO IT!!! You know you want to..... :woot:

You saw my results with a shitty tune, imagine a tune like yours on my engine set-up, it would be awesome.

After porting the next step would be bolting up a GT-RS ;), GREAT response with equal power. :wave:

Bris is right though; If you remove your head it is best to reco it. The only thing mine needed (it was more a preventative measure) was valve stem seals, the set cost about $330.00.

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?  
    • I got the Repco video recommended on YouTube.  
    • Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
