replacing all fuel, fluid and coolant hose clamps with darty ones

replacing rocker cover seals, D rubbers and bolt down seals

re-sealing all water fittings to intake manifold and block

getting the gearbox reconditioned at work

i bought all the coolant hoses that run around the back of the engine and under the plenum, not the heater or radiator hoses though

they set me back about $340 which is for 7 hoses i think

the 3 heater hoses are about $200

you can't do much else except get genuine because they are moulded items so you can't just whip down to supercheap and get some hose because it won't last.

exactly mystery_kid

well Im not about to write down each hose price as I can get a very good capricorn price which I am not about to reveal but the whole gearbox rebuild, all the water, fuel and fluid hoses and fuel pump and all new trident hose clamps is very roughly $1050 off the top of my head and that is using all genuine water hoses apart from 2 rad hoses and the two small hoses a the backside of the head that lead to the turbo, everything else is genuine, fuel hoses and fluid hoses I purchased about 10 metres of hte shit so I have ample supply and about 70 hose clamps now lol

pays to be in the industry

heres some pics of the parts all cleaned up.. nice and clean through out, rocker covers are spotless inside :P

wasnt too bad hey, i pulled from behind the gear behind it and it slid off nicely ;) yeh its definatly fun putn all new bearings through it, pulling it apart wasnt so bad, remembering where shit went was a battle since it was my first box I have built, lucky I have the nissan FAST program for explosion charts :)

Gave the fuel tank a scrub and clean and cleaned up some surface rust on top of the tank and resprayed it.. The bottom needs a paint now as well but I have waited til the tank is back in the car so it dont get scratched up.

Tailshaft, slave cyl, starter motor and loom for gearbox all hooked up now,

I also fixed my issue with the power steering line at the back of the car for the hicus, there was a dodgy peice of water hose with cable ties to fasten looped to the return line to the front of the car. I have ripped that off, filed down the flange on the line so some 3/8" fluid line can comfortably slide over the line with some new hose clamps, I have stripped out the hicus loom in the back to tidy things up and made things look alot neater. I also found my car allready has a Hicus lock bar in it!! bonus!

heres pics of the intake manifold and head before it was slapped on with a new gasket, I have sealed around the water jackets to ensure nothing leaks into the intake just incase there is a low spot

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
