Thanks guys, i imagine once the good oil goes in it will make some noise on start up,but 90% of all forged motors do that.

Oh yes another thing,we had a cooler pipe blow off last night. Now that the engine is MAP not AFM she still idled perfect :)

Congrats!!

A few minor issues but nothing major.... and how loud are the lifters on the first start up!! I thought my new engine was going to explode when I heard em on the first start up.... lol :)

Yeh, is quite face changing when you hear lifter noise. And coupled with the noise of a power steering pump with no oil in it,makes for a few frantic comments lol

i told you the power steering would scare you!! LOL

good news anyway. I'm back in syd too so give me a yelp if you want. i assume your asleep now lol. I look forward to hearing it. does it sound anything like mine or totally different? hows your exhaust situation too

Hi Dave,

Are you 100% sure it's not the clutch slave cylinder - or air in the line maybe? Sometimes they give up the ghost after sitting for ages...

Just such a bastard to take the g/box out of a '33 - I'll never do mine again unless I have a hoist.

Cheers

Dave called me today...he sounded like a 16 year old ringing his best mate to tell him he just fu(ked the hottest chick in school.

He drove it and is a very excited lad!

All i can say it sounds awesome. Has a clean yet angry RB sound from the exhaust. HKS Hi-Power has not arrived! Im assured ill be getting it any day now. I was told that 2 weeks ago too!

Was checking over the clutch situation pretty much all day. We bled the system twice and adjusted a few things, but still could not engage any gear when stationary. The slave cylinder seems to be operating fine. I called Jim today and he thinks something might be bent,he says it does not take much for a clutch not to work 100% when something is slightly bent. So i guess the box is coming off and ill be sending the clutch back for him to diagnose.

I had the car running for the powersteering so we could move it around the car park easier. As they were pushing me out into the street (for the tow) i turned the car off engaged 1st and kicked it over. Rolled out onto the street and took it for a drive around the block. Suprisingly i was able to go through the gears,though down shifting was a bit tricky,and engaging 1st was only possible with rev matching and a nasty grind.

But driving the thing around the block a few times made me forget the small problems and brought a big smile to my face. I was loading it up in all gears with boost climbing to about 8-9psi before i backed off. The thing just wanted to go! The boys could hear it spool from down the road :D

So tomorrow ill be dumping the oil,changing filters and removing the wastegate. Im dredding pulling the box out (putting it back on). But it has to be done, i want to put some kms on this thing.

these promotions for Paul rock :D

its something i am going to consider when my motor finally rocks up!

I wouldnt say "promotions for Paul" mate. This thread was made to give other members an indication of what is involved going through the process of rebuilding an engine (RB25DET). The information i put in this thread is no way geared to favour one person or business and is purely for other members to get an idea of what they can expect when doing what i have done.

The sooner you learn to stop knocking other businesses the better. I would be worried if someone with your attitude was touching my engine!

The old engine wasnt dead, infact it was very healthy and pumping out 250rwkw all day long.

yeah i know it wasnt dead...it was just a sh1t stir.

As you can see it wasnt a serious comment. But if you knew the half of it.....

Please dont pull this thread into a bitch fight,the last thing i want to see is this thread closed. From now on if you have nothing to say on this topic DO NOT POST!

awesome build thread good to see shes up and running finally :D hope u enjoy the ecu as well Dave, luckily u got the best Haltech tuner in the business to play around with it, im sure u will get some great results

Thanks Brad! The E11 is a great bit of kit. So many outputs, Adam asked if i wanted the engine light to become a shift light lol

^^ totally agree. I found this thread very useful and informative please keep it on topic.

Dave, have you upgraded the drivetrain? I know you were going to buy a new box, have you done anything with the diff or half shafts??

The next thing on the list is a decent diff. We could hear a bit of a whine as the car was slowing down on the dyno.

But ive known the diff was a bit tired. Nismo TT Pro or KAAZ 1.5 will be the options.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
