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.

    • Evening fam, Pretty much what the title asks, I have looked all over and can’t find a proper answer expect one post from almost a decade ago which is vague. ive seen photos and they look pretty much identical, would an r33 GTR N1 reo work on an r32? reason I ask is they are cheaper to buy… $700 compared to 1k+ for an r32 n1 reo
    • Couldn't help myself, had to start putting it together.... It really is a solid bit of kit.  Probably stronger than i would have made it myself to be fair! 🤣🤣 Sweating like a pig after that.  Bloody hot and muggy day today, time for a swim now!
    • Yeah was thinking that. I've had the car go lower idle possibly around 650rpm every once in a long time after pouring fuel and would sound quite rough like a misfire, almost like it's shit fuel or something but who knows.
    • @Wazmond you are correct, my bad, was not my intent    https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.    I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.    I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.    https://gtrfestival.com.au
