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?

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
