Hey guys,

quick question...

just busy replacing the water pump on my RB20DET and I was wondering if anyone knows which way the main pulley nut is undone? Is it just like a normal nut (ie anti-clockwise to undo) or is it opposite?

Hey guys,

98% sure its anti clock wise

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?

man it has a rev limiter doesnt it? that is what its there for to bounce off when racing, if u arent quick enough to change gears before the limit, then it will hit it. but mean if u were on a race track for an hour and flogging your car on the limiter then u mite do some damage, but other wise every now and then i doubt it.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
