Yes I have already searched.

I am replacing the motor in my manual R32 GTSt Type M.

The motor i have bought is auto.

Are there any differences other than the missing spigot bush?

How big is the spigot bush?

Where can i get one of the bushes from? and how much am i looking at?

I asked a friend, and he said to chisel the collar out. ok. Fair enough.

I have found another problem though.

On the new inlet manifold, behind the last injector, is a barbed fittting, for a hose to go on to.

This is different to my manifold, and i don't have the slightest clue what it is for.

Does it run air or water?

Is it ok if i just cap it off?

Does it have something to do with the auto transmission?

i am an apprentice mechanic, and am trying to do this on my own, and only have 55c to my name at the mo.

Some of these are also questions that are skyline specific, so i would have thought that the skyline community would have some useful knowledge.

hey budy i have done this a few time before. I think the steel spigots are 16mm or 18 mm id you will need to get a 16 mm bolt cut the threaded part off and use the shaft. Fill the end of the crank with grease and insert the smash it a few times with a hammer it will pop out for sure. Try to fill the cavity with just grease and no air .

Be gentl inserting the new one aswll>

d.i.y all the way man

No, it is at the bottom of the inlet manifold. Everything else is connected, and the same fitting isn't on any other rb20 i have seen yet. It looks like an 8, maybe 10mm barb. So i am stumped. I am going to put a hose on it, run it up in the engine bay, and when it starts, see if it squirt water, or air:). and then block it off.

I got the collar of the crank yesterday, and intended on putting the new spigot bush in, but mum "Cleaned" the shed

In doing so, my spigot bush grew legs and went walkabout. So i have had to get another. :P

And now that it is the weekend, it wont get done until at least next week :)

Should be banging again next week. Can't wait.

Seems i have most of it sorted now.

Any tips for putting the new spigot bush in?

Thanks 33pig for your help. DIY is best learn heaps, and save the extremely small amount of money i have.

Everyone else's cars are starting to pump again after being off of the road for at least 6 months; 3 mates with vlts, one mate with a ca18 bluebird etc. Should be fun.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
