Hi guys, Im just about to piece together my engine after putting forgies etc in it and i was just wonering what your opinion is on the ARP head bolts.

Are they worth the $260 your paying for them?

Has anybody had trouble or anything with standard ones?

In just doing the rebuild should I replace them with new ones, whether they be standard or ARP?

:)

$260.00 for what a GTR , if so where do you get them for that much , that's cheap.

It is simlpe as this ,why risk using cheaper studs and risk all the other work you have done . do not re use your old bolts!

Oh sorry nahh its for a RB25, yeah I thought $260 was a resonable price thats without shipping especially seeing autobarns price was $350 hehe bloody hell they are rip off for some things.

    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
    • I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that. 
    • You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
