Just thought I would bump this 20 year old thread because the Skid Factory have just posted up a video summarising a lot of the content, format might be more familiar for newer members

Every head should be CC'd if you dont knows it's history.

I know mine had the face machined prior to me buying it and again was faced after the front water gallery was tigged up.

My R33 RB25DET head's bowls averaged at 58.7 CCs . It's time consuming to get the bowls volume close to each other (0.2CC +/-). :)

no. 6 cyl had the largest bowl volume: 59.8CCs. Had to remove a bit of material to clean up the pitting left from detonation.

PS: I used a burette to measure the bowls.

Problem solved.

Looks like the cat or middle muffler has collapsed and blocked most of the exhaust.

Got it to 1 bar after I dropped the exhaust at the dump pipe flange and went for a blat up the street.

Whoo hoo, now to just replace the cat or muffler and back to the dyno.

Think Ill have a few beers tonight.

Hope those beers were good.

I should have thought of that. I had a cat collapse once and it was doing similar, but seems fairly uncommon. Well done.

the greddy copy manifolds have been discussed in the froced inuction forum, the casting quality seems to be poor, and you can get them off ebay for about $200, noone has got dyno proof yet if they work. I think the siemens injectors are all top feed, so unless you get an r34 fuel rail, which fits the greddy copy manifold, they wont fit. Even with the rail, im not sure if the siemens are the same dimensions as the r34 gtt injectors

Ohhh ok.

I just thought they had smaller housings than a GT35 or are they the same but with smaller wheels?

Do a search for the results of R31Nismoid...its his old turbo that you are talking about.

Also, another quetion... those of you running RB25 heads vs Rb26. IS there a measurable difference between the results are ppl getting with the same turbos...main variable being head and inlet plenum?

Not sure if i should bother with an RB26 head or not

Forget about whether or not the RB26 head itself is "better", the fact is it will work out cheaper when you add it all up. Inlet manifold, multiple throttle bodies, plenum, top feed injectors, cams, solid followers, no VVT, adj camshaft pulleys, valves, valves springs etc etc. They are what makes an RB26 head the ONLY way to go.

:P cheers ;)

I cut the cat out of my exhaust today - it is completely screwed and deformed internally. If you hold it up to the light you can not see any daylight.

In the end I couldnt even get the car to idle there was that much back pressure.

It is approx 2500 kms old - I am currently in discussions with regards to a warranty claim so dont want to mention any names as yet. It was not a cheap item though.

yeah - that gets a little expensive when you get defected and they decide to take a closer look - I did consider it though.

Custom Exhaust Specialists in Bris are doing me a 3.5 inch custom cat they have XR6 turbos making 700-750 flywheel horsepower with - its cheaper than the 10k fine :-)

time to put a "hi flow" one in then? :P

i need to scan it this weekend but i ran outta fuel so i need to do more work on the dyno after i change the pump.

How is a good way to get out of the fuel problem? i want to get over 400rwkw if i can with the stock head.

peek power was at around 160ks an hour in 4th gear.. i need to bring it down a bit but wont worry about that untill i get the fuel pump situation fixed up.

Full Boost comes on - 110ks an hour (20psi) in 4th gear all the way up to the end 20psi

It even has 5psi of boost at 92ks an hour in 4th.. comes on early i wreckon

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
