The caps... they hurt my head!

After working in the Engineering industry (the big stuff, mines, pipelines etc...), I can tell you a screw up similar to that would have caused havoc and got the company a black mark industry wide.

The company should have replaced all parts involved due to not completing work to specs atleast as a good will gesture. By not doing this, they are causing their own issues and getting a bad rep.

Customer service is important no matter where you go or where you work, sometimes you have to just let in for what you may not agree with for the sake of your reputation.

This isn't just some horror story, but a serious matter. It happened, and recently. It isn't a friend of mines uncles brothers dog walkers sister. It's well known people in the community being affected directly by this "blunder".

Back to the topic:

Have you got it diagnosed yet? how much damage was done? any quotes?

I'm interested to see how you went.

Hey dan, off the beaten track a little, but what can you do for me in the clutch department - i think mine is slipping and will need a new one shortly.

Can these things be reconditioned?

In some cases the clutch can be reconditioned but you would really only bother with a twin or triple plate. Too many people do a half arsed job trying to cut costs when in actual fact it will end up costing you twice as much because the pressure plate has worn out or something similar. Unless you have a multiplate clutch, just replace it with a new one. There are a few different options when it comes to single plate clutches so it's besty to discuss these things over PM or phone. You have my number.

Cheers, Daniel.

My bad with the Caps. Until u guys mentioned it I didnt even realise I had done it.

Im not pissed or anything all I was saying was John did my engine and I am very happy. I would be pissed though if the same thing happened to me and the builder denied it being his bad.

Cheers

I have seen a chapman engine at the same engineers that dan uses so not sure if they use the same place or not.

yeah Andrew uses Chilton Engineering also.

I will never take my engineering work anywhere else and neither will Andrew. Absolutely no better engineer on the planet.

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
