Dialing the cams in

Will take pics tomorrow as it sits today, still waiting on the intake manifold and injectors to arrive before I put it in. Quiet annoyed that I was not advised it would take 4 weeks for them to make the manifold... could have just bought a greddy off the shelf and had it in by now!

I disabled the VCT because I wanted to run big cams, to block it off I simply tapped and grub screwed the feed into the head.

Still awaiting my intake manifold who would have thought it would take 8 weeks from Victoria to Perth...

I think you will be in trouble doing it like that. If it was a neo it would be fine, but pre neo use that feed to lube the front cam bearing. look into the intrrnal vct mod as that will supply oil to the bearing.

Look into how the front cam bearing gets its oil. It's through the vct supply that you have blocked off. How will it be lubed now? You can still do the intrrnal feed with the engine in.

It would be lubed the same way the rest are they don't all have an individual oil feed from the block, I've read up on it before doing it and I've noticed plenty of people have blocked it off by welding or grub screwing it.

Fair enough, if you look at the thread that guy thinks differently, also spoke to my machinist when welding my feed (neo head) and he mentioned non neo use that feed for the front cam bearing, as he had seen a head destroyed as a result. But if you have done your research is your engine to decide what you do.

And keep in mind that the typically when people block the oil feed by welding or grub screwing, they either do the internal feed or run an external line (as most would be keeping VCT)

I understand what your saying and it makes sense, I've spoken with my local tuner and machinists and they have seen the same thing done before so I'm confident it will be fine, if not I will regret not doing it but I'll cross that path when it gets here

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
