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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
