Hey guys I was wondering if I could steal some help

Im putting my motor back together and noticed the intake gasket isnt looking too good. I rang around the local places like autobarn, repco and supercheap and they cant get them in. I couldnt see anything on Just Jap either unless I buy a full kit.

I was wondering whether or not I can use the old stock gasket with a spray over or if anyone on here knows where to buy just the single intake gasket or has one left over from a VRS kit.

ALSO I got an rb30 block to go into my car and I just noticed that the engine mounts have been "customised" by the guy I bought the block from. Would I be able to put my old ones from my rb25 onto the rb30 block or just use some rb30 ones? I have a series 1 r33 gtst with HICAS and was just wondering which would suit?

Thanks

Lukas

Just use your rb25 engine mounts, althouhg the customised mounts may be to allow it to fit under a standard r33 bonnet.

O ok cheers. I will give the custom ones a go and see how it works. If not I will put the old rb25 ones on :) Thanks

Some of my friends are using customized Teflon intake gaskets to replace the standard one as they say that it seals much better and its not prone to leak. As the standard one gives way during tuning and high boost application.

Just some of info that i got.

Any ideas?

O ok. I will try the permaseal one and see how it goes. If it leaks then I guess more money to shell out haha

I have a question about the engine mounts again. I put the rb25 ones on and they look like they are sitting a little high on the exhaust side compared to the inlet side? Any reason why?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
