Engine is out, g/box is off...bought an engine stand for 50 bucks yesterday, used a chainblock to get the engine out...peice of cake really...easier than putting it back in I reckon...

Pulled the turbo off, will sell it as I will get a better one (that could be almost anything haha) when I build the engine...

Cheers,

Russ

which hospital you work at?

re the build: some pics along the way would be great, also rough costs too. I am thinking of getting an 89 gts when I sell my r33 so with all that extra money I am going to have to do something to make it different.

I reckon u go the 2.3l btw :P

Work at RMH...

I will try and get a digi camera soon to document a bit...will be keeping accurate costs...

Pulled the exhaust manifold off...dodgy bastards who must have repaired it at some stage before me...on the rear end there were three busted studs, unrepaired. That means the first intact stud was the forth one...haha dont know how it sealed properly..maybe it didn't.

Also pulled off the top half of the intake manifold...

Having trouble with the flywheel bolts...very very tight...

Cheers,

Russ

HI all,

Finished the teardown of the engine...fark there are a lot of bits...

cleaning everything up at the moment...will send the block off for hot dip shortly and then paint it.

My rb20det workshop manual should arrive next week, that should help...also bought a couple of engine building and blueprinting books off amazon to helpa bit...

Cheers,

Russ

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
