should of bought my head, already had cams in it :no: ,

If I were you id slap the neo head on and add some water meth, would be very ballsy motor plus the cam has 8.5ish lift and zero hydraulic lifters to make noise later.. ;)

Yeah, I was seriously considering it man..

But I really needed the head asap as I can't bear to have my car just sitting there :(

+ Not that I don't trust you, but the head would have come from Brisbane etc.. It could have been damaged coming here and if anything happened I wouldn't be able to just send it right back if you know what I mean?

Unfortunately I have already sold the NEO Head to one of my mates for his R34 but I do regret not keeping it.. I realize now I could have kept the head and just got a thicker Head Gasket to compensate for the higher compression but at the time I did not think of that :verymad:

Oh well, That may be a task for my project motor which will be started soon :yes:

no worries im gonna use it for the RB3025 and see what it does,

nice build, front spoiler looks good!

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing for my build but I wanna take it one step further ;)

Front spoiler..?

not sure what look you going for but here's a pic of my brothers s1, I'd drop my s2 for it if he would sell it to me...

came loaded with nismo gear from Japan, :verymad: and mine had nothing, sorry pictures not the best..

That looks nice!

It may be a Nismo 400R? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Skyline_GT-R#NISMO_400R

Also, this.. is my goal (I'm almost there) except with the addition of Wider Rear Fenders + S2 Spoiler :yes:

:yes: :yes: :yes:

I was looking at GTR style ones (no badge of course) but seeing the black on white gives a similar effect while maintaining the S symbol :D

Yeah exactly! I don't know why people switch em out :no:

I personally like em! :yes:

  • Like 1

I want this R33 GTR Do-Luck rear bumper, that's what on my brothers car, it continues underneath the body about a foot or more... gives it more depth at the rear..

Not really an update as such

Just something someone did for me and I thought it was cool!

I will be buying ARP Head Studs next week though!

Then all I need is the Head Gasket (Probably a Permaseal Metal Head Gasket) and the Head refurbished :D

Then she's all ready to go on! :w00t:

Keep an eye out as I'll also be documenting the removal and refit of the Head via Youtube :yes:

I will post the links here for all who wish to see it :cheers:

Looking heaps better now... what power you wanting to make?

Can make well over 300kw's with OEM bolts and gaskets... looking forward to the vids... :whistling:

:thanks: mate!

My power goal for this engine is 400rwhp, I really want to see those numbers on the dyno :yes: Then I'll be happy!

Although 1/4 times are what really counts :thumbsup:

Then I am going to leave it at 400hp and a weekender, whilst I start my engine build, RB25/34 :D

Although I am torn between using my current head (The broken one on my car, which will be switched out with the new head) or buying a NEO Head for this, I just don't know whether the slight increase in flow will be worth it with the NEO as opposed to just staying with my head. :ermm:

Update time!

I got my quote from HeadTorque yesterday and although the price seems a bit dear, I am confident this is still a fair price :yes:

They are going to:

- Service The Head

- Pressure Test It

- Sonic Clean And Bleed The Lifters

- Face It

- Supply And Fit Brand New Exhaust Studs

- Supply And Fit 24 Valve Stem Seals

- Check Valve Springs

All for the price of - $1,100 :happy:

But as fate should have it, this will not be getting done till next month! :down:

I am currently casual at my job and have my review next month as I'm waiting to go full time.

I don't want to spend big money now and then be struggling to survive later, should I not get extended :ermm:

I will however still be buying the ARP Head Studs soon, so check back for those updates! :thumbsup:

    • Also, the cause of fuel spills and smells from the top of the tank is almost always the rubber hoses that are up there, not the tank seal.
    • 1. No, as you say you can remove the connectors and fuel lines. Before you do make sure you remove fuel pump fuse and crank the starter a few times to release pressure, and also loosen the fuel cap (just in case the tank is slightly pressurised) as it will pump out the lines otherwise 2. Not necessary but you are right, if it is the factory pump it is at risk of failing after 25 years....Changing it is not hard but potentially not trivial as you have to make sure you have the right pickup/sock for the pump to suit the tank, need to make wiring connections (crimped butt connectors would be fine) and have to mount/adapt the new pump in the right place in the cradle. Not impossible but don't start the job if you aren't confident. Also, the plastic nut that holds that seal in place can be really hard to remove. If you don't have a fuel nut removal tool it generally requires a big screwdriver or similar to bash the ring around a few times before you can get it by hand. Also the fuel lines can be very sticky on the tank lid fittings, hose removal pliers can help or if not twist the hose on the fitting (eg with linesperson's pliers) to break the seal before you try and remove it. Finally, mark the feed and return hoses so you don't put them on backwards and seal them with an m8 bolt to stop crap getting into the lines while working. Add a little grease in the threads of the plastic lid when you go to do it back up as a gift to your future self, and make sure you put it on evenly/not cross threaded.  Having said all that, most likely the lid just needs to be either tightened or removed and put back on without being cross threaded...the seal itself is usually pretty good.
    • Another weekend and another project I have questions about.... I bought a fuel tank sender O ring to install on the car because I'm quite sus on what I've got now.  1. No "whooosh" sound when opening fuel cap 2. If I fill up full tank, there will be a small leak under the car and it comes from the top of the fuel tank, dripping along the side. Stops after a short while 3. Hot days = 50/50 chance to get high as a kite inside the cabin if the car was in the sun for too long This is what I bought: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/1734279900 My plan was to just replace the O ring but I've got some questions: 1. Does the whole fuel pump assembly need to come out for me to replace the O ring?         Or, could I unplug all the connectors and fuel lines at the top, take off the twisty part (17343) and put in the O ring from the top?  2. Is it a very common thing for everyone to just change the pump whenever doing this?        I see the Walbro 255 gets thrown in a lot but I've got no issues with my pump so far. When I did the tune, I asked the guy to check my fuel pressure and he said there were no issues too. But is it just a good idea to change to the 255 anyway as the old unit may have been in there for so long? The 255 seems to be a direct fit for GTT (I got no soldering iron)  
    • Normal speedtek issues, bin it and go cdoo# or 8hp. So many issues with these gearsets, a mate went through 3 rebuilds and multiple parts with heat, bearing and vibration issues.  
    • I wouldn't go near them, they are rubber seals for a reason. Just chuck new cam cover seals, half moons and the spacers for the screws every decade or two. I add a really thin layer of silicone too and it seems to hold together OK
