Bah i got one of our unit people who is a mechanic to give me a hand with them cams, everything going well, and then bang, fkn broke a stud of I6 capstud, didnt even move a bit broke straight away, You would have a spare bearing stud would ya dan? i need one or know where i can get one, IE: repco?

if ya talkin cam bearing I can loan you one and you can replace it. I will need it next week tho.

And yes i followed the correct procedure blah blah blah in how to remove cams etc before ANYONE asks. Yes i have a torque wrench, i also have the manual and i took extra care etc etc didnt rush it....

Cheers

You won't be able to get one as they are line bored to match the head. The one you lend will not necessarily be the same as the one you get back

May not fit

Studs aren't available from anywhere really. You gotta use a M6 cap stud or something similar and tap the hole out to suit

You can helicoil too if you like

You can buy replacements for the rb26 the tomei ones, but i just need one not 28 of the fookers, and it happened to the intake or bearing cap I6 as numbered on them the one with the brass plate attached to it, and yes dan is correct about the bearings as there machined for that specific engine, looks as if it was going to break either way who ever did it as it broke almost instantly first slightest pressure on the damn thing....

Bit of stud broke inside :O thats what i thought about the stud theory should be able to just threadtech the old one out and replace the stud like any studs head manifolds etc

That what i thought too Adam.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
