The fitting in the side of the block is a tapered 3/4 BSP thread..

Nobody (that i can find) makes a 3/4 tapered bsp fitting with a AN -10 or -12 male on the other side...

To 'jam' a 3/4 BSP parrarel thread into it is just plain dodgy, and you always run the risk of the damn thing leaking,

not to mention that most of the thread will not be used and looks terrable hanging out.

Does anybody know where I can get a fitting, otherwise,

I guess I'm gonna have to buy some tooling and make up a few and sell them to cover the costs.

Yea, I looked at that..

But I was totally stumped when I spent over an hour on the phone and a few hours on the net and NOBODY listed it!

I have seen lots of people who have done this mod, and I was shocked that I cant find a fitting.

I can make the fitting, I'll have to buy a few bits to do it, but it looks like I gonna have my own little market for this!

That is just the tip of the iceberg however, while I was looking, I also couldn't find a single fitting with a tapered BSP thread that has an 'AN' fitting on the other side of any size.

that means that I couldn't find any fittings that join an 'AN' fitting to anything that bolts into the engine. Oil or water..

All the 'AN' threads I found were parrarel.

Proflow make one that fits. You can get it from www.vpw.com.au i was at our local brake place and they have two sitting there and i matched the thread up with the bung i pulled out of an rb30 block and it has a dash 10 fitting on the end of it. Im goin to get the fitting for my motor on monday and ill post a photo of it up and let u know how it fits into the block.

What I mean is, I get my hose guy to use crimp teflon braid, not AN stuff.

They can cut and silver solder the hose tail off the factory fitting, then make the rest out of crimped braid. Works every time.

Stick to banjos for the water lines, it's easier to keep everything away from the exhaust too.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
