Running std hydraulic lifters with GTR Valve springs and cams...only changing the valve springs as my engine has done 170,00kms so probably well past their best.

Good quesiton about the cam differences R32 to R33 etc. Could be the different turbos and tuning that increased the torque more then a mechanical change in the engine...i think the cams im getting are off an R32 GTR

Is there any differance in the valve springs? I am most probably going to do all my mods on another motor I have bought, and then swap the newer motor in, so if there is a advantage in swapping springs I might do that as well

The cam differance question I posed is a interesting one, I wouldn't be surprised if each model is slightly differant, due to each model having to meet stricter emmissions laws etc. Or it could be just differant tuning? Who knows, but it would be good to compare each model cam side by side to see if there was any huge differances

Im not sure of a difference in the valve springs, im not using them expecting increased performance over RB20DET springs, im using them because they are newer, therefore likely to perform better.

If i was building up an engine i woudl definitley consider new valve springs, new, not necessarily aftermarket performance springs just new.

Ok, I'm not building a engine as such, just looking to improve a motor I have bought, so the cams will hopefully be going in, but not sure about newer springs. The motor has around 50,000 on it, so the springs should still be in good condition (hopefully)

If I can get a set of springs with some cams - it will be a bonus, if not, cams by themselves will do for me

Aftermarket (new) valve springs are cheaper than buying standard (new) valve springs.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture

      R33 suspension bushes replacement, what wears the most?

      As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.

      Oil Control In Rb's For Circuit Drag Or Drift

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.

      It definitely seems like you have no beef, with only digging up a 5 year old post, to comment on an inflammatory item with total insensitivity, and of which had nothing to do with the thread.  Yep, you definitely seem like a great person and your friends and family would be so proud to know of your lovely actions

      Thanks buddy, so happy to be back! Managed to pickup a Unicorn R34 completely stock and clean. Looking forward to adding some goodies to it and posting one here. I'm shocked that so many forums stopped. If you could find my old profile - I'd love that if its possible. My old account was JET200GT. My email might need to be fixed too. To use this one. I think it was the same though..
