Wow, that's great. I thought about the same theory when I did my RB30, but I didn't dare pull that plug out for fear I'd never be able to find something to go back in there. Very good idea!!

anybody else doing this mod?

im going to give it ago just wondering if there are any others out there who went with this method.

I did it after reading this post. Worked great! Plus, I got rid of my oil leak from the external oil fitting in the head. I had the hole in the head welded shut.

The blue circle is the oil return port for the VVT.

The oil comes into there from the VVT valve and this port allows the oil to return to the head and drain away.

does that clear that up for you?

I pulled it out just to see what was in there! There is nothing that I can see in there that would/could be of any other use!

(but I did have to check! hahaahaa) Anyway, DONT pull it out unless you need to.. and I cant see why you would need to..

Feel free to take more pics and post them up..

I tried to give as much info as I could, so, you should be able to do the job without too much bother.

be kind to the plug when removing it.. you dont want to break it in half! or drill too deep!

happy modding mate!

Read the WHOLE thread again! check out post #4.

I put some colour on the bit that you need to look at!

Damn what was I looking at??? But in the pic you can see that mine has some sort of ballbearing on the outside, is the plug behind that? Would I need to drill into the ball and then somehow get something screwed in and pulled out and then tackle the plug?

I han't done a Neo head.. but I'm guessing that Nissan didn't stray too far from what they already know works.

Please take another pic, up close and front on, just like mine so everybody can see what your looking at.

hey just one more thing on this does it actually work because on the factory 25 block the vvt is getting a direct high pressure feed straight from the oil pump wheres this method is only getting in from the head?also when you other guys are putting the pistons in the block do you put oil on the rings or assemble dry 2 prevent the bores glazing up cheers chris nz :)

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
