alright guys time has come where i do not have the time or effort for cars anymore as much as it kills me i think its time to part with everything.
so head has been fully done by top rpm motorsport.
parts list
tomei 270 pro cams
tomei solid buckets
tomei 1mm over size valves
tomei cam cap studs
tomei type b springs and retainers
supertech bronze valve guides
supertech valve locks
full cnc ported intake/exhaust/cam relieves
might be missing something but its been build to handle hp...
parts that i could add with it and make it a complete head are:
all covers
tomei cam gears
h11 head studs
hks drag gasket kit
intake manifold

9000 just for the head and can start adding parts from there. if it doesnt sell for what i want ill just keep it and take my time doing it.. but feel free to make offers on the hole lot but wont be selling the other parts untill the head sells

I ended up buying and receiving this head from Neville. I've attempted to leave feedback, but something's gone wrong with the feedback system. I thought I'd put a post in here to give people a heads-up.

I received the built head in a few Corona boxes with the cams torqued down and valves extended [and unprotected]. Upon further inspection, I found that the incorrect cams were included in the head, and the clearances were dangerously out. Neville was initially responsive, stating that he would cover the costs of having the proper cams purchased and installed. After I'd had the work done, Neville stopped replying to my emails, sticking me with a $1200 bill. I've dropped him about a dozen emails, PMs, and a payment request. It's a shame; this is the first time I've ever been hosed by a forum purchase. Unfortunately recourse is difficult for me being overseas.

So tread lightly with this one in the future.

Shit mate :(

Guy must be hard up for money. Sad that people push their problems onto other people.

I've had mostly good experiences on the forums, but I think I have been lucky. It's the 1 in 50 bad transactions that stick out the most. Spending this much on gear I'd wanna fly there first too, but understand you're overseas in which case it's a risk you take :(

Hope you get it sorted. Was the other gear all there and legit?

Yeah, the rest of the gear was there. The shims were buggered though... tolerances were tight enough that on some valves I couldn't even get my thinnest feeler gauge in there. If I hadn't checked, I would've snapped the cams on first startup. 

Hopefully he ends up reaching out to me. If he needs time that's fine... it's just hard when somebody disappears on you and leaves you footing the bill.

I've bought probably a hundred items on web forums. Numerous cars, motors, bodywork, wheels, all manner of parts... you name it. And most of it internationally, given the nature of the cars I focus on. This is the first one that's bit me. Ah well. Hopefully I won't need to reach out to his bank. :/ 

Zero trader rating and only one post.......not a good start tbh.  And sympathy to you Brook......its always a hard call, to buy or not to buy - the extension of trust to a stranger.

Good luck with it, hope you get some satisfaction.  If you paid by Credit Card you can claim it back from your bank?

Have u spoken to management of SAU ? Perhaps they might be made aware if not already. Im sure all the people involved here will do their best to help you. Unfortunately a reminder to everybody to remain dilligent. Good luck man

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head. (me)
    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
