I did a quick search but found nothing..

so my question is.

when removing the head from a rb26 in a R32 gtr.

what is holding the head down on the intake side? i have removed turbos and everything on the hot side.

i'd say something under the plenum as i have not removed much from there other than fuel lines.

i've removed all the head studs, the 3 bolts in the corners of the head and the bolt on the ac pump. i can jiggle it a bit but it wont lift.

cheers

P.s. i've gotten bored waiting for the new motor to turn up so i decided to pull this one apart as much as i can to hopefully learn a few things!

i found a manual and i will dig into that tomorrow,

so it can be done without removing the plenum throttles etc??

just found a photo of new enging which looks pretty cleara, all these suckers come off??

it surely feels more solid than just hoses tho.

this is on an RB30ET but from memory dude there IS a bracket that is anodised gold that goes from the block the the runners, i guess all that alloy would need supporting, having said that your plenum it completely different, sorry disregard my waffling!

Behind the Acc valve air tank.

EDIT: I'll be removing the head of my 26 tonight or tomorrow, I'll take a few pics for ya.

mine will be off tonite :P

i'm onto removing that acc valve now or air chamber its called just under the plenum.

will see how this goes it shouldnt be too long before i got it out.

Done just as it started raining,

may have damaged the head gasket on the way out and i cut a hose or two as i had to act quick. damn rain. inbetween 6/5 on the headgasket looks a bit bent but this may have happened when getting the head off as i was jiggeling alot trying to find the last two hoses.

if you dont know, i had 0 compression in 6. all the rest were fine. 150ish across the park.

blowing alot of smoke/oil

inspecting under the head all the valves appear to be perfect, the top of the piston appears to be fine also. the bore also looks good in 6.

i will get some photos if the rain eases.

yer you seem to have had some det which will have a broken ring land when you get the piston out at a guess.

Have a look at the other pistons when you get them, take note of how the pistons look where the ring touches the ring land see if there is any marks that look like erosion.

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
