Hi all,

I require some help. My waterpump has blown and i've been trying to get it off but hell never knew it would be so hard. I have a Rb20de, non turbo engine, I have removed all the bolts but it still won't come off. Any suggestions would be great,

Thanks :blush:

You've removed all the timing belt covers? There are definitely no bolts still connected on the underside, out of view?

It's possible the sealant used in assembly is "gluing" the pump on - use a bigger hammer!

you need to pull the timing belt off.

there will be 4 14mm bolts, and 6 or 7 12mm ones and a 10mm one. all hidden behind the cambelt..ps.. dont uses the suplied gasket for the pump. use a silicon instead. it works better. the paper gaskets leak.

so to do it its a full strip on the front end of the engine. wich is crank pully off etc ect

Note sure if all Skylines are the same bro... but from my personal experience, you have to remove to pivotal bolts that are bolted from the bottom up that secures the waterpump... then you have to kinda twist it to the side a bit when taking it out... not sure if mine was tampered with but that's how I got it removed so that I could change other things...

Good luck - pictures would be good.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
