Whats been done to it? any porting or anything?

technically it hasn't been ported just had imperfections smoothed out.

It a totally complete head. from an ECCS silver top. I the manifolds, fuel rail etc. to go with to. the only thing its missing is the igition timing moduel that goes on the cam cover. only the bare head itself has been reco'd but all the valves cams, etc etc are in good nic.

happy to post anywhere if you pay the postage. it won't be cheap though.

a nice reco'd head would be great for an RB20 drifter as you'd be punishing the head constantly in that application.

might be interested,but need more infor on the head,where about do u live,is inspection welcome?

any good pics will help if u can send to [email protected]

thanks a lot. :)

Located on the northern beaches. The head is at my mechanics workshop - Joviant - and inspection is more than welcome.

I haven't got any pics. its really just a shiny new head. It all in bits, the mech, Brett, is going to re-assemble it for me for the sale but if you want to install things like new valves, springs, guides etc i could leave it all separate for you. rocker covers are off so they are ready to be painted or chromed to suit your taste (i was gonna go matt black)

As far as info goes what i've given is it. Its been shimmed, so the side that sits on the block is perfectly flat, no warped edges that help to blow gaskets, crack tested and came up 100% fine, and imperfections have been taken out of the combustion chambers, inletc etc. its only just come back from the shop - even i haven't seen it yet.

apart from having a nice new head - the real value is that if you want to do some head work and install some gear in the top end, this one is already out and has been machined. to remove your existing head and do the same you'd have to pay for all the labour time taking it off and putting it back on and put your car of action. plus you'd have to at least have the head shimmed before you put it back on. this has had all the hard and expensive work paid for now you can just install the parts and wack it on. Then you can sell your old top end.

FOR INSPECTIONS CALL ME: ROWAN: 0410 321 343 AND I'LL ARRANGE WITH JOVIANT.

CHEERS :laugh:

$250?

Sorry thats a bit low. i've got a guy offering me $400 pickup at the moment so its on hold. but as with most sale inquiries on here that may not go through. i can possibly sell you an RB20 head that hasn't been shimmed or washed for $280.

Pics?

Its an RB20 top end. no different to any other standard one, except its clean and the bottom is flat.

i haven't even seen it yet. its sitting in the machine shop on the other side of Sydney waiting for someone to give it love, so its a bit hard for me to get pics, sorry. i'm sure there are some on the net somewhere to give an idea if you've never seen an RB20 head off the block.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
