missed me shaney poo...

i still can rev 2500rpm higher than that... :(

.... BITCH.. i could say something like at least mine drives lol

mmm stable healthy oil pressure.. :D

yes about time.. i wanna see 12s before i get my R34 GTT.. cause ill be seeing 14s in that :D

i'm laughing out loud right now....no seriously, really hard. You reckon you can rev your standardish 32 GTR to 10k safely?? I wanna see pics/vids of this....

I apologise to Noel because this does belong in another thread....so mark I challenge you to create one and tell us the mods your car has that allows you to rev to 10k??

I'm a puritan at heart Ben. Whilst the 30 bottom end does have some appeal I much prefer the idea of having a hot 25 in a 33 st. Theres something bogan about dumping an outsourced engine in any car to my way of thinking. Sorta makes it a mongoloid hybrid . Even in the old days when i ran holdens it was accepted that the chevys were the better engine but ford had the stronger drive trains. It was common to fit top loader boxes and 9 inch ford rear ends to the holdens to get some reliability but i couldnt bring myself to do it.

I persevered with the bowtie product till I made it work and was more satisfied for doing it.

The other reason is the aussie underdog thing. Whilst most opt for the 26 or the 30 I think there is a ton of potential in the 25.

The only limitation at this point is in cam selection and i think that can be overcome as well. After all, making horsepower is all about getting air fuel in, burning it and getting it out efficiently. With the right cams I see no reason why the 25 cant match it at least with the 26, we are only talking 100 cc's here. Less than 5%. Given that most 26's are pushing an awd system and are inherintly heavier as a result of it i think that pound for pound the performance bar should be on about a par. It might be different if we were talking about mega power in the 800/1000 hp range Where the 26 valve train can be taken further but we are dealing in street/strip cars here.

Hey noel so have you got any ideas or eyes on specifics on valve train, did you get any info on converting to solids and what not? did you find any prices

Edited:1130pm :P

noel, i reckon it'd be a good idea if you'd post up what u want from this car, both power wise and use wise i.e drags, track etc etc. then we can all start giving you some ideas to look into :P

At this stage mate the best option would appear to be the bill hill one. Take your head and solid cams and hydraulic lifters to him and he converts your lifters to solid operation then installs the cams and adjusts the valve lash by trimming the valve stems. I have been told that the block may have to be welded totake care of the vct but I am looking further in to that today. He quoted me approx 400 dollars to do the job.

    • I don't run the spring but it means you need to set your own belt tension.  I put tensioners on both sides too.
    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
