I got the head off our 98' Stagea yesterday to replace blown head gasket (80k). While the head is off I thought its a good time to give the ports a tickle. Are people match porting out to gasket sizes on both inlet and ex. or just make sure gases are not hitting a shoulder? Are people removing lump in exhaust? Also are people replacing head bolts??

I found the R33 spec factory manifold gaskets pretty well matched already, but checked and touched up both sides where necessary.

That lump in the exhaust port I smoothed out the sharp leading edge considerably and blended them in to the overall port shape.

The short radius in each port, leading onto the seat was where I spent a fair bit of time. Ex-factory that really was an abrupt edge and needed work.

Overall, not much material taken out but quite a bit of finishing work that the factory doesn't do. I'll have an idea later this month if I'm happy with my work :D

New head bolts not essential, but aren't expensive and should be replaced if the engine will see a bit of work.

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
