Had a chat with Gerry a little while back about flow benching my head after i finish porting it, after a brief chat i realised i would get them to do all the head work as they know their shit and RB heads are done there on a weekly basis.

i went to Perth yesterday and took up my head and parts to suit. not sure if it was just because it was a saturday but 2 guys took an hour out of their time to discuss with me my intended output and all the modifications they recommended to do a good job. there was no pressure to spend lots and everything was explained in detail. they showed me around the workshop and got to see a dozen port jobs on various heads and i was blown away at the quality compared to the crap i had done to mine :whistling:

pricing was good too and as they do so many RB heads they said they would swap out any lifters with the wrong lash with spares they have. i can also swap the valve stem seals i got in the gasket kit for the better ones they are going to use.

Gerry is very helpful on the phone and worth talking to if your considering any head work. im looking forward to seeing the final result :thumbsup:

      2025 Osaka Auto Messe

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
