SAU Members,

I have a polished set of rocker covers, new gasket set, bolt torque instructions from the manual and an installation diagram.

Do I need to know anything specific about the installation of the gasket, so that I don't screw it up first time?

Do the metal surfaces need to be prepared, cleaned, etc?

Does anything need to be applied to the metal surfaces or gasket?

Many thanks for help in advance.

Regards

Jimbo

When i re-install my gaskets on my rocker covers i put a thin layer of clean, new oil on the side that contacts the rocker cover, then press the gasket into place.

Then apply a thin layer to the side of the gasket that contacts the head. Seems to work.

I have taken my covers off 3-4 times now and haven't replaced the gasket yet, and have not had the slightest of leaks.

And i also clean off any old oil/grit from the head before hand too. Pretty much just like putting on an oil filter :D

gotRICE,

Many thanks.

I'll post a few pics of the installation from start to finish, including the rocker cover polishing process.

RusH,

So far it looks like if I do all the work myself, it will be $100 for the polishing, and $44 for the gaskets only. That's the minmium cost. Similarly, Just Jap in Sydney charge you around that price for polished units on exchange only.

TM Autosports also say that they can remove then refit for the R34 for $160 if we don't do DIY.

Hope they turn out. Keep you posted.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
