I recently purchased a set of Ferrea valves part # F1934P and F1936P to suit RB25DET 1mm oversize. Only problem is...they are wrong.

I rang Ferrea and told them their valves are wrong and they asked me if maybe I had made an error but I informed them that this was not possible. They thanked me for bringing this terrible mistake to their attention and I promptly sent sample valves to them in Florida for inspection.

Wondering if anyone else has purchased these valves from Ferrea and if they were the correct valve or not?

The issue is the stem length which is around 15 - 20mm longer on both intake and exhaust.

No uninformed suggestions please...just if you have bought or used these valves. Or if you have used other brands of oversize valves for RB25DET only.

Cheers, Daniel.

Turns out I was right. It was Performance Wholesales mistake all along. Ferrea confirmed that the valves were to suit 1999-2002 RB25DET.

I have sent them a sample head with valves so that they can start producing early RB25 valves, springs and other head components. I have also sent them RB20DET cylinder head complete so that they can start making parts for them also.

They will be the only company that I know of to do a direct bolt in valve replacement for RB25DET or RB20DET so stay tuned for the results of that.

HAHAHA When they told you that they were unaware of the issue, they were full of $hit. I and another guy were having ours cut to the proper length for a S1/S2 RB25DET two weeks before you talked to them because they only had NEO sized valves for the solid lifters. I talked to Zeke for about 20 minutes and told him that there's a larger US market for non-NEO RB25's than NEO, but he didn't seem to believe me.

I'm having issues with my installed valve height now too and it is either because the valves were not machined to factory specs or my valve job was a little too aggressive.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
    • 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.
