hey all

few questions

well i got my fully built 25/30 back a few days back.. trying to get the engine and bow together before could but the whole lot into my cefiro and it just would not go, found out the internal diameter of the spigot bush was to small for the gearbox output shaft. so i removed the spigot bush all together.

but im wondering if it is complete a must to run a spigot bush???

like if i can ust not use one at alll and it should still be alright?

other question is iv dummy fitted my motor on its own and it fouls on the clutch master because of the forward facing plenum..

wondering how people have gone about relocating clutch master?

or at least how you get around this??

its a a31 cefiro with a built rb30det and rb 25t gear box.

be running around 360rwkw once run in and tuned..

cheeers in advance guys

already gone through 2 brand new spigot bushs..

they slide over the input shaft.

but once i tap it into the back of the crank its like they shrink so much that it cant slide in again...

using the soft wooden end of a broom stick to tap the spigot bushs in..

im using standard engine mounts but got a conversion cross member for rb25 box in cefiro off a mate along with the tail shaft needed for it to alll work.

with the gearbox siting on the ground i can slide the spigot bush over the out put shaft fair easyilly and smoothlly.

the fit in the back of the crank is tight as. and yeah once the bush is in its like it squiish's the bush size down so much that it cant let the out put shaft slide threw..

i dont have access to a dummy input shaft at the moment. my old man lined the clutch plates up with a half inch driver handle.e we have tried adusting the cltcuh plates.. but thats when we figured out it was hitting the spigot bush instead of sliding into it

where abouts did you get a dummy input shaft.

just wreckers or somthing??

we know it was deffinatly the spigot bush as it was being pushed back into the crank further.

If you know someone with a blown RB20 gearbox go take the input shaft out of that, pretty sure SR, CA, VG, FJ and L series can be used as well. Exedy sell them but when i installed my exedy hyper twin i used the one they supplied but it was a bit dodgy, it didn't align the clutch propley and i had to use an input shaft out of a blown gearbox i had.

How far in are you hitting the spigot? Does it look like the one below?

yeah i was tapping my spigot bush in exact same distance into the crank...

hmm its hard where i am because im one of the few people in this town that drive an import.. so i have to travel about an hour and half each way to get to jap import spares in adelaide..

i have thought about getting another brand new spigot bush and cutting a thin slice straight threw on side. dodgy i know... i just wanna get this motor and box together

I'll address the clutch master cylinder problem.

I picked myself up a new R33 GTSt clutch master cylinder for when the forward facing plenum and GT35R go on. The 33 item is about an inch shorter, my mate also used one on his 32GTS4 with RB30 and Greddy plenum.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
