Valves

[Daffy]

OK, I had the idler bolt snap on my Rb25det Neo, which threw the cam belt on the free way at 110kph. As a result, both sets on valves are bent. yes all 24.

So engine is in bits, and valves are out, but here it is...... Where can I find replacement valves other than Nissan. The place where the head is cant source them, and well the ***** on ebay say they can get them, but that was over 2 weeks ago. They arn't the same as a normal rb25det, as mine is a NEO, they seem to be a different size to others.

Is this normal?

Inlet About 104mm head 30.4mm tip 6mm shaft dia 6mm all approx. as I don't have verner

exhaust about 98mm head 29mm tip 4mm shaft dia 6mm

Nissan want, inlet $35 ea exhaust $59 ea

With all the rb's out there, there must be someone who does them cheaper the nissan

Need help pls

kudosmotorsport an SAU sponsor

if you can stand a lack of communication then amayama is another way.

There's a Neo head for sale on the forums right now, isn't there?

[Blackkers]

Yep 2nd hand head would be the cheapest way to go

Erics performance parts in the US sold me valve guides at a good price. They have a fair bit of stuff. Cant say I ever looked at valves but worth a try

As suggested though, getting a second hand head and robbing them out of there would be cheapest

[89CAL]

Actually. I have a full set of valves if you really need them. Will have to wait till I'm home Wednesday to pull them all out but

Amayama says $28 and $35 USD plus shipping. A bit cheaper if the parts come from the UAE.

I bought some pistons from Eric's Perf ebay and took forever to arrive. I was a good price but after the sale communication was lacking.

He did come through, but was frustrating for a bit for my one experience.

Yer I been looking for a 2nd head, but no one has 1, or wants to part with it cheap or wants the same price as the valves....

The normal rb25 heads are different to the NEO. The only thing that might fit on the both of them is the exhaust manifold. Rest of hardware would have to be changed.

I bought the ones from ebay over 2 weeks ago, and they are having "problems from there supplier" getting them. Now Im in a dispute trying to get my money back and got to look else ware. i got to wait for money to get back before I can buy new ones atm.

Is there a link to Amayama Wolverine so I can check that out?

$500 doesn't seem outrageous, and I would chip him down to $400 anyway.

I agree. Im m very tempted to get one to port. If it was sa I would have bought it.

Of course they are going to cost what the valves alone cost, it's a whole head!

[wolverine]

amayama.com or just call kudosmotorsport and ask Andrew for a price. I would try Andrew first as his communication is so much better but both should be able to come through with the goods in around 2 weeks.

Also here is a link to amayama http://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/er34/3953-rb25det/engine/130/

[Missileman]

Another Amayama link but to the Russian page that has diagrams??? http://nissan.epcdata.ru/skyline/er34/3953-rb25det/engine/130/
