have had offers for exhanges with other heads, if so we are only after a completely standard one with nothing done to it at all, and of course we would want cash on top...

Also we may be setting the head up with, apexi vmax cams (brand new) (260 dur, and 11.2 lift), vmax lifters, supertech double valve springs and Ti retainers (brand new), and aftermarket (tomei) cam gears for an extra $2800

cheers

will consider a trade in price for a reasonable head with absolutely nothing done to it (need dead stock, cracked guides are fine)

ok, new deal, the head, supertech double valve springs and titanium retainers (all new), apexi v-max cams 260 11.2mm lift (new) and apexi lifters to suit, tomei adjustable cam gears (new), standard valves lapped in, port matched intake assembly, polished camshaft covers, and polished intake plenum (also ported) all for $7200 firm.

pics of the set-up soon.

will also sell the head bare, if someone gets in first

ok taking reasonable offers, and cant afford to keep buying things for it to sell it easier... PM us only, and any unrealistic offers will not even be replied to, and please specify what your offering price is for, please dont just say "I'll give you $$$$"

Will sell without the apexi cams and tomei cam gears for $1400 less (standard lifters supplied, not apexi ones)

my 2c is get them flow bench figures you mentioned before.

If this was a worked and documented head from a reputable shop it would be gone by now. But no flow figures and no one knows if you have improved or decreased the effectiveness of this head. Allot of testing and experience goes in to the making of a well working head, not just if it 'looks like it will flow well'.

Nissan did a very good job with the ports in the RB26 and it is not easy to enhance them significantly, but very easy to make things worse.

That's why CNC ported heads are well sought after because people know EXACTLY what they are getting. 100% equal every time.

head no longer for sale, untill it is flow tested, and when it is the price will be going up :P

as for the polished covers they can go, may consider a trade in price... PM us if your keen on anything.

thanks

My mate just picked up a full tomei ported head with 272 cams bronze valve guides tomei valve springs stock valves our of a race car making around 700hp direct bolt on and go for 2 grand.

Good luck with that mate

thats great for you bud, but did I ask for your opinion, and do you think I give a rats arse what you pay for your shit??? I take it for the price it was used too??? all work on ours is new, and all parts are new...

how much u want for the polished covers????

PM sent

bump... would like to get rid of the polished covers ... they take up too much room...

ok for those that don't seem to understand the price of good quality, know this... to pick up a standard set (which are always low quality in terms of paint ie. chipped and peeling) is now no where under $400, (unless the person is really desperate to sell them), now add the price to polish them to the extent that we do (upwards of $600), now add the two together=$1000, so I think that asking $850 is not really so bad, also with the polishing job look at the pictures, the attention to detail is carried out to ALL area's of the covers, unlike some We have seen floating around...

Well Levi, I am definately taking advantage of the fantastic polishing work that you do. I dont understand why people arn't happy paying for decent, quality of work ??

cheers mate, yes we pride ourselfs on the quality of our work mike, unfortuently need the money for other things at the moment, so someone should take advantage of this bargin... but happy to keep them if they do not sell for our asking price...

    • OK, that is a helpful description, because that sounds exactly like a bleeding issue in the clutch....these are hard to bleed manually even when the damping loop has been removed. I'd suggest bleeding again....start by filling the master cylinder up and opening the bleed nipple. Come back and check every now and then that the master cylinder is not empty. Let it gravity bleed for a few hours and see if that improves
    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
