nice, that should get you to the shops on time -
S2 Stagea RB25DET NEO stockish rebuild thread
Duncan replied to QLDR31's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
Welsh plugs should be OK, they only go to the water galleries and they don't have to be spec free like oil galleries. Yes, I'd pressure wash it, dry with compressed air or leave overnight, then wipe bores clean with clean rag with light oil or wd40 -
Yep, so the reason I asked that is vacuum and pressure bleed can be more reliable, manual bleed you can make errors (eg allowing pedal to retract before bleeder is closed, or not using hose to ensure only fluid gets pulled back in, or simply not flushing enough fluid through to clear out all bubbles because it is such a painful process......)
-
I think that does help; there is a high point in the "to 4 way" line which is above the master cylinder fluid level; it is possible you have air trapped there no matter how well you bleed it. Can you re-bend/re-route so that no brake line is higher than the master cylinder fluid level? Also, how are you bleeding; manual with a person pumping a pedal and another opening a bleeder into a (hopefully clear) hose, or vacuum bleeding at each nipple, or pressure bleeding from the master cylinder. At least having no ABS removes that issue as you can get air trapped there too because valves cycle when the ABS actuates.

I don't see how an issue with a variable pedal could possibly be due to not having a brake booster. Basically the booster adds assistance to make the pedal lighter (when the engine is running and making vacuum). Without a booster it should either be just right, too hard or too soft at all times depending on the master cylinder bore size and where the pivot is on the brake pedal (pedal ratio) What you are describing sounds like there is still air in the system somewhere; when you first press the pedal the air compresses which is why the pedal is soft and on subsequent presses because the air is already compressed you get the proper hard pedal feel as the wheel cylinders move. Do you have a pic of the changes you made around the master cylinder (or elsewhere like abs?) and how are you doing the bleeding?

Nissan Skyline R33 Service Manual Ocr Pdf Rb25 Rb26
Duncan replied to jamesnorman93's topic in General Maintenance
Original link updated, thanks for both the new link and your original work! -
Sorry, I can't help this time, my car is at the shop having the tree shaped hole removed from the rear quarter panel.... Re the diagrams, I actually have something rarer than rocking horse poo, an original printed copy of the australian workshop manual. The scan that is floating around online is super useful 99% of the time but the detail in the wiring pages aren't really legible so I dust off those pages when required. One day I'll work out how to get high res scans of the pages...

200ZR Z31 RB20DET Front Facing Plenum Intake Search
Duncan replied to Semteks's topic in Introduce yourself
Not many of those around, haven't heard of one in ages. there was a thread back here from 06/07 where about 7 of them were identified in Aus. It looks R31 House in Japan used to make a FFP for them, but I'm not sure if they are still around, their agent in Australia, Powerplay Imports, are long gone. http://www.speedhunters.com/2020/03/fairlady-200zr-the-last-straight-six-z-car/ -
I'm not really sure about the "fast and wobbly" to 60klm/h bit, but many nissans are calibrated from factory to read 10% high, primarily to piss off everybody that ever needs to drive near or at the speed limit. So I suspect reading 90 at 80 and 122 at 100 are perfectly normal. There are different speedo drives for different diff ratios (eg, GTS4 was 10% shorter and so are automatics I think), so that is one option if it bugs you too much

MLR's Bogan cruise ship
Duncan replied to The Bogan's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
f**k me they are some long bolts -
I would not use them. Generally, Notlec bushes were great when new, but they disintegrate over time. Even if those were OK now, once you start putting them under pressure at that age they will just crumble. Worse, there is a reason people stopped using that arm design. It is too easy for the adjusting bolts to come loose leaving you with some excitement when they slip.
-
Any reason you are after those in particular? There are easier and cheaper ways to get larger brakes on skyline chassis these days, and in most cases the standard system is more than adequate with the right pads and rotors

Any hint on which country?
-
that is im-press-ive HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH I kill me. BTW consider clearance behind when you bolt the press down; lots of weird shaped parts need clearance front and back to fit properly and I fixed mine too close to the wall behind in the old place.

nice racks!
