hey,

just curious if any other members have and stratagies as to seperating the output shaft from the engine.. engine is supported by crane atm with all bellhousing bolts undone, with a jack supporting the gearbox. The studs at the end of the block that stick into the gearbox are also protruding and there is about a 10mm gap between the box and the block, but she just won't seem to budge anymore ;) any idea's would be helpful :(

cheers guys,

Normally thats the easy part...its putting the motor back in and aligning the shaft through the clutch and into the spigot bearing thats the hard part.

Stick a big arse screw driver between block and bellhousing and start prying...nothing should break. You'll find that after a small amount of movement, a big amount will follow and she should pop right out...unless there is something still attached somewhere.

You know maybe youve got too much pressure from the jack supporting the gearbox and its not level...making it hard for it to slide out as it should.

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
