    If the engine is from a Stagea, then it should have a AWD sump, with the diff hanging off the side. Pretty sure all Stagea RB25 are S2. If you have a RB20 ECU running a S2, how does it control the VVT? The simplest method to use the other engine is to transfer all the electrical items (AFM, coils, etc) from your dead engine onto the replacement engine.

    Paul, Have a loook at www.talent2.com . That's my employer. They say they don't have any opportunities internally right now, but they are also a placement firm, so check out what they have. Greg

    Wheel out of balance. Dead shocker. Dead wheel bearing.

    Just drill the stud out.

    I got ACL pistons, and they had the info stamped on the piston crown.

    Sorry, won't be there this month. I'll be busy terrorising Territorians (Kakadu and Uluru)

    Leek?

    Firstly, they're not all that new. The law has been around for quite a few years, under the guise of the "power-to-weight" rule. Secondly, if you did some research on the Vicroads website, you would have known this. Thirdly, there are any number of threads in this forum on this very subject.

    Thanks James, but already having it "re-zipped" at my local Chinese sweatshop tailor. (although no need to tell Bluegum that)

    Handling problems are usually related to suspension. Check the suspension by giving it the "bounce" test. Try swapping components from L->R, R->L, see if the problem moves.

    Have you checked the dimmer control?

    Does that work in Linux, though? Well??????

    Have a pair of Stratos seats. They are a "not quite matching" pair (slightly different in the head restraints), but otherwise identical. Both have been re-trimmed in black, I'm after $250 for the pair.

    Not all wheels use standard Nissan wheel nuts. Some require tapered seats, some require flat washers. Check the wheels for what type of nut they might require.

    The sensor in the bottom tank is the A/C thermo fan switch.

    That won't hold pressure in the system.Maybe the IC is damaged (cracked,) and leaking under boost.

    Those jackets we were able to purchase last year. In the lower half inside is a "zipper". However, it (mine) doesn't have the catch to zip / unzip. And now mine has unzipped, and, of course, I can't zip it. Is it a fault, or a stupid design, or what?

    What happens with the lights if you shift to neutral? I'd suggest the alternator is dying, and isn't able to supply sufficient voltage at idle (with tranny loading engine) to keep the lights going. Otherwise, you have a really serious wiring problem.

    The water pump may have spat some vanes off the impeller, so it doesn't circulate water properly.

    I have a set of ACL forgies, +040, to suit a RB25DET. I'm after $1000 for them (which is slightly less than they cost me), delivery included.

    Seems to be no trains running. Just about every train on my line (Glen Waverley line) has been cancelled. FIIK how I'm getting home tonight.

    It's not a leak in the turbo piping - the engine is making 3.5 x 100mm Hg boost (approx 7psi). It WILL NOT be O2 sensors - the ECU ignores them while boost is happening. They may, however, be contributing to the poor fuel economy. But that may also be caused by trying to "drive through" the present problem. If the car has been fitted with larger aftermarket turbos, it might be suffering compressor surge. Check ignition timing.

    The water in the bottom radiator hose will be at its coolest. As long as you recognise that fact, there's no reason why you can't fit the sensor there.
  24. blind_elk
    Some timing lights have a habit of "doubling" the timing reading (don't ask me how they do, but they just do). So your "35" might be really "17.5". I'd get it to a workshop that has the good gear to check the "true" reading.

    The ECU sends a TPS signal to the ATTESSA computer. If the Mines isn't a direct plug'n'play, then it might not be sending any signal.Check the error codes on the ATTESSA ECU.
