Guys, i'm about to take a sledgy to my car. Can anyone tell me how they removed the water line that goes to the back of the head? I got the dumb little bolt holding the bracket at the back, but CANNOT get the little clip thingy where it joins at the head!?!?! It appears to have a bracket coming out to a bolt?? I've heard undoing the lhs cam cover, but the clip is facing towards the brack booster so that'd have no affect regarding room etc.. Someone please help i'm going insane. PM so i can give ya my mobile number....thanks guys

Haha i thought that myself but to my surprise was easy as! Now i just gotta get two studs for the manifold that screwed emselves out over time and i can start putting the turbo on. Quick question, when i was undoing the bolts for manifold studs one stud screwed right out. Can i just screw that back in and should be fine? Also, do i have to loc-tite any studs when i put em in, for dump flange and turbo to manifold? Probably not but just wanna know for peace of mind.

I would replace all studs.All mine are replaced with ARP items even the manifold studs :banana:

A common prob for the RB25s (not sure for 26s) is the rear manifold studs tend to lose there head due to the manifold warping and resulting in the head of the stud popping off.I cant imagine the stud screwing itself loose,have a look to see if there is half a thread in there.

Hmm yeah i guess i should. Whats the easiest way of getting them out? Also i need to get the four studs out to replace with longer ones so yeah any advice there appreciated!! Nah they came out eh, could tell coz the washers were loose i was just too lazy to tighten em up haha. So i go to a parts store for studs and nuts etc or nissan to get raped? :banana:

Still not really keen on changing 10 studs when all i have to do is screw two in. No doubt i'll snap another 6 or something. Not sure what to do, just gotta get these two studs and the gasket then she's on...

Well it appears i DO have broken studs! LOL Had a bit of a tinker today and actually looked in the hole and bam, broken studs. So anyone got a number for mobile guy to rip em out? Fark all in the yellow pages out this way. Started to pull the other studs out, got to like the 4th one and put em back in haha. They all came out easy so i just put em back in for now. Yes i know. All good but everything will be in ready for next tune, 260+rwkw here we come :banana:

Haha yeah :banana:

Gotta get these bastards out, holding up my install here. Read all about the ez out process but knowing me i'll snap the prick in there. Took off my screamer/front pipe and dug out my hks ss front pipe so just gotta get 15cm or so custom stainless instead of half mangled mild steel. All coming together nicely.....

When my motor is finished we will have to line up at WSID :P

Ooh shit yeah!! I've done 13.1 with 2.1 60 footers on 200rwkw so i'll shit a 12 in when she's all done! :)

Yeah i know i should change em all, but i just seems like a waste to throw away 10 good studs lol. I should really do em all eh? So undecided, not worried about the cost just the extra time and effort to change em all. Might ring some numbers, see what they charge to replace all studs :)

WTF! I had 250rwkw and all i could manage was a 13 flat at 113mph.What was your mph?

I had 2 year old SAVAs on the back though.

LOL you get 2.5 sec 60 footer? I ran 108mph thats my pb so far. With stock clutch and bald stockers on the arse lol. Plan on smashing that quite soon. Went out hunting for studs today, found correct thread (M10x1.25) but they were all like 10mm too short. Have to make a trip down to Nissan tommorrow and get em all there. New washers and everything i guess? Have a thread guy coming out tommorrow so if all goes to plan i should have the turbo on yee haa :laugh:

      Im loving this thread. I have a g35/900 t4 split 1.00 ar going on my rb30/25 with 9:1 and 264 cams. its drive by wire and with vct i think it should spool nicely. I have the 8speed gearbox on the floor ready to go on so full boost changes will be a thing if the tyres can deal with it. it should always be on boost

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      The trouble for me is the automatic takes away so much from it. And the E92 has hydraulic power steering. Even after putting in an LSD you're looking at re-mapping the xDrive to be more like a Skyline which is just a lot of effort for something that is supposed to be easier and cheaper. I consider the E92 335i 6MT to basically be the obviously superior car to something like an R34 GTT. Half the price out here, the N54 makes so much more power so easily, is a far more refined car, etc. You do have to deal with the nightmare of the N54's foibles vs the B58 which is comparatively miles better and if a turbo does fail it's only one of them vs two and a lot less pipe spaghetti.  996 or 997 Turbo has the AWD system mapped like a Skyline. Basically always RWD unless engaging the front axle makes sense. A coworker let me drive his 997.2 Turbo 6MT and it's absolutely tremendous. I don't think I'd want more power in a street car.

      I'm purely suggesting, what every multinational business out there presently does! And the world governments all day it's legal.

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.
