Minor update,

Cam gears, valve springs and retainers have been fitted. smile.gif

Had a couple of minor issues where the shim somehow popped out of the retainer bucket. I'm not sure whether it was due to poor lighting and upon installation the shim fell out or whether it popped out as i started it.

I think the first one is the more likely explanation.

Anyways all sorted now.

I have to say though the springs and retainers have made the world of difference, it no longer gets any valve train noise around 8K + It sounds smooth throughout the whole range.

I may be changing my direction slightly on the intake though, so stay tuned. :P

Yeah boi.

Well not much of an update, but i decided to paint my rocker cover in crinkle coat black. What's your thoughts?

I ended up putting it in the BBQ at 90* for about 15 - 20 minutes to tighten the crinkles up.

Thanks alot guys. It won't be done quickly as there is still a bit of fabrication work to be done. But that cant be done until I know the spacing of the ITB's.

I should receive my adapter plate and fuel rail soon enough.

    • Registration and insurance can be problematic with engine swaps from dissimilar manufacturers, especially when throwing in a LS in the engine bay Can it be done for a "street car", sure, but every part of the build should be led by the automotive engineer who will be signing off on the project, so bring your bank account, that part gets it registered.......then there's the yearly insurance dance to consider, can it be insured, sure, but at what cost I would hazard to guess that building the RB would be a much simpler project without all the logistical headaches, and probably for alot less coin, for simular, if not more HSPRS 
    • About the same coin for LS3 and a 6 speed manual... However, needs more dollars spent making it fit... Probably about the amount of money that would be spent on new turbo, intercooler, ECU, tune, etc... I support stonking big V8s in Skylines...
    • Seems like an excellent reason to convert to something else entirely. Spending all that money to go forward by about 2% is hardly good business. Could get a very large V8 for less than that.
    • Well, yeah, you need to close that circuit, otherwise no start.
    • Yeah i know(now) I just wanted to ask. It maybe looks like i get my hands on RB25DET NEO for swap 🙂
