nah dont think it goes up that high.. but you wont need that much strenght for the gasket job? the only time i used mine was on the head bolts and they took about 72ft/lb

mine goes upto 250ft/lb. flywheel bolts are 110ft/lb but the main crank bolt is 340ft/lb

oh poor shane lol

cheer up mate! At least it wasn't something much much worse!

yeah i was originally thinking it was a rebuild job, i couldnt work i was dredding it that much :laugh:

yeah mines a 250 one aswell..

by the time you get to 340 thats pretty tight.. for the cressidas crank pulley i used a teensy bit of loctite and this bad boy (borrowed from a mechanic) :

no idea what the tool is called but it worked good

you put a socket on one end and bash the shit out of the other

haha that's dan's, i used it on the last 33 i did a clutch in (the crank bolt came loose when i was undoing the flywheel bolts :laugh:)

Okay, prehaps i should rephase my question...

ATM I change gears at about 7000 RPM if im driving spirited, is this too high for a RB26?

It doesnt redline till 7.5. If I keep reving the car out this high will I do dammage or can the RB26 take thoes sorts of RPM comfortably?

3-4k ian (no smart ass comments any1, i have driven a gtr a fair few times recently)

oh wow.. really?

you must be an expert then!!!

lol... sorry.. we have a member that says that kind of stuff all the time! he's had his car off the road for 8months and not a thing done.. he reckons he's an expert! He drives me insane.

How often do you drive 'spirited' as you say??

Changing gears at 7000 rpm wouldn't be overly good for any engine on a regular basis IMO

i dunno.. he's just a f**kwit. that's what's wrong with him

but seriously.. no one knows why it's taking so long, he's buying another car now too so it's not like he's out of money.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
