the previous owner was a bit of a d.i.y freak installing neons (that dont work) and some other crap so there are wires everywhere and half the cars electrics are gone.

anyway he has taken out the back seat and the rear armrest wall things. im having trouble putting the arm rest things back in. they are really loose.

the back seat isnt secure either.

there is also some very minor rust in the boot floor. (dont know what to do about that)

the interior is far from perfect but luckily for me i have an r33 wreck that i can swap parts for to bring it up to shape. if it wasnt for my wreck i wouldnt have bothered buying this car.

anyway just need some help and advice putting in the back arm rest things in and the rust.

i will post some pics of the car soon and then once i am done with it. cheers

back arm rest piece is held on by clips, they probably all fell out when he took it apart. as for the seat, take it all apart and put it back together properly as he probably didnt clip it into place.

rust in the boot may be signs of a prev accident, leak in the boot. maybe give it a hit with sandpaper and rust killer and prime it back up.

the dent in the boot is from a dickhead lifting it with a hoist from the rear!? so i think il get a sledghammer and try and smash it back to some sort of shape then sand it ect.

the boot is missing all the gromets so i have replaced them all and everything should be sweet. havent tried putting in the back arm rest things but will keep posting if i have any other troubles.

cheers

does anyone know if an rb30 power steering pump and alternator work for an rb25?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
