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.

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

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      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.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
