ahhh no no.. lol

i was having alot of trouble just gettin my spigot bush in. i had no auto spigot in their.

was just to tight in the crank and kept crushing the bushes.

i slightly grinded mine to a tiny bit smallr diameter..

still had to use wood to tap it in. just not as tight a fit.

its all good now

Next time I'll take a pic.

I think it may have been easier in the end to do what I did and make the bush fit into the auto insert instead of trying to pull out the auto insert.

Would the auto spigot bush foul with the manual input shaft? I think it quite possible could..

That's a good point... The gearbox is bolted up alright so I guess it mustn't be fouling. I'll find out when I put it in gear with the clutch depressed and if it starts to drive off I'll sit a grenade under it and get some enjoyment out of watching it explode. I really CBF pulling the gearbox out without a hoist, even with a hoist this project has fkd up so many times I don't think I'd bother with it.

It might not be hard to remove, I just never knew that it was removable. I didn't take the gearbox off the RB20det before I sold it so I didn't see the end of the manual crank. Thought the RB30 I got was from a manual R31 and the insert looked like it was part of the crank because it had rusted evenly with the crank. Really wish I had of realized it could be taken out before I went to the trouble of making the bush fit inside it. Crap happens

ah lads,

yeh you have to remove the bush that comes in the back of the auto rb30 crank. Either get a small die grinder in there or a hacksaw blade, take a bit of material from the bush on opposing faces, then snap it with a cold chisel and remove. Spigot bearing will go all the way in then. Remember it's porous, so soak it in oil for a few hrs till oil comes out of it once you pressurize it between your fingers. Shouldn't have any dramas then with wear / noise etc. But yeh.... take the auto bush out, the rb25 input shaft will most probably run on it. 10 min job.

end result >

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
