I had a quick search on here and i can't find it. What is the RB25DET valve clearance ment to be?

I found the RB26 one which is 0.42-0.48mm on the intake and 0.35-0.41 on the exhaust but obviously the RB25 will be different becuase it is hydraulic.

I just wanna check it with the HKS cams and see if this is the cause of all this f***ing around.

Thanks guys.

I thought you place a fealer gauge underneath the lobe of the camshaft and then depending on the outcome of that you replace the thickness of the shims? Isn't that it or am i thinking of something completely different? :geek:

Ok i just had a better look at the service manual and it appears that the valve clearances are the same for the RB25 and RB26, ill be damned. I would have been 100% sure they would be different, can anyone confirm this?

I thought hydraulic lifters don't need shimming as that is the whole point of hydraulic lifters.

Hmm so hydraulic heads dont have any sort of shims or anything in them? Only solid lifters? I wonder why Advan would say to check the valve clearances then :P

cos they didn't get the whole story maybe, like bubba said, hydraulic lifters don't need checking they pump up and hold when you start up your car. They only need replacing when they are shagged. ie don't hold pressure

OR maybe you got 26 cams.. did you get springs aswell?

26 cams & springs with hydraulic lifters I think leaves a bigass gap.

OR 26 cams with your stock springs and lifters would probably also run like shit as I believe the ramp rates for solid and hydraulic are different...

Nah they are definetely RB25 HKS Cams 256/264 (Part #'s RN172 Inlet, RN175 Exhaust) but it is still standard springs. The springs is the only thing that is still a bit questionable, would it really cause the car to run that crap though?

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
