Selling my RB26, was built as a full-on item for a 1200hp motor. All work was done by RAMS head service in Windsor, they were responsible for GTR-700's head initially and learnt alot about RB heads from JUN - and were getting better results than them as well.

Parts list:

Custom 1mm oversize stainless valves (when I got the head done in 2004 off the shelf items were not available, made from Ferrea alloy blanks)

Aftermarket valve guides

Apexi V-Max SPL springs, retainers and buckets

Apexi V-Max SPL 280 degree 11.5mm lift cams (also have Tomei 290/11.5 and HKS 300(?)/11.5 cams as well)

Tomei camshaft stud kit

Trust cam gears

New stem seals

Also have ported injector base/manifold to suit head

Labor list

Ported intake + exhaust runners

Profile guides

Polished + cc'd chambers

Unshroud valves in chamber

Flow benched and runner flow equalised

Steam hole modifications/water gallery modifications

Clearanced for high lift cams

Drilled for 1/2inch head studs

Flow figures:

Lift Int Exh

0.05 51.9 46.4

0.1 100.4 94.5

0.15 147.2 134.8

0.2 186 167.5

0.25 221.3 197.2

0.3 252.4 219.5

0.35 277.5 229.7

0.4 292.9 236.8

0.45 304.7 240.8

0.5 309.2 241.8

Have spent over $10,000 on this item (RAMS alone was $5500 with no parts) , had some big plans for my R33 but have gone a different route now. I also have a Harris Engine ported head here too (same people SydneyKid uses and raves on about) and it is nothing compared to this RAMS head.

Benefits of having such a modded head are quicker turbo spooling (or capacity to spool a larger turbo reasonably), more power(!!!) and to a degree lower intake temps (due to less boost needed to make xyz power figure etc).

$8,000 or near offer, located in Sydney. Item is still unused, have mocked engine up a few times for clearancing/ ricer pictures but that's about it.

Couple of pics of the head, 3rd pic is of the ported intake against a standard head to show how much material was removed on the ports.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
