Hey, New Here, Come Say Gday

Hey,

Ive just joined here to lern heaps and discus with you's in the know. ive recently bought a Gu Patrol thats running a rb25det instead of the ol' 2.8td, its fun to drive but its got a few issuses atm and im sorting them out as i lern how... Parts arnt that easy to come by cuz its half rb25 half 2.8td.

The bloke that done the conversion used plumbing pipe as the intercooler piping to the std deisel intercooler so the pipe leaks real bad, im getting some custom stainless pipes made up for it as we speak. id like to go a front mount but ill do that once i get it running rite on the std intercooler.

Ive never owned a Skyline or a rb25det donk before so im totaly new at this.

One of the coil packs is r/s so its off the road till i get a new set, if anyone could help i dont know how to tell if its a series 1 or 2 rb25det? do the coil packs visusualy look different or wot? i dont wana order the wrong coils so any help here would be greatly apriciated. is it worth replacing the wiring harness that runs the coils while im at it? are the spitfires worth the money compared to the jjr or super spark's?

The bloke that done the conversion put forgies in it while it was out and he said he had to block off or modify some oil squiter that sprays up under the pistions??? anyway the head is quite noisy at cold start up, its not so notasible once its warm but ther is still a nosiy lifter noise or sumthing i dont know? if what he done with the oil squirter is affecting that or he running the wrong oil or what. any advise or help here would be great.

It needs a rising rate fuel regulator, does anyone recomend any brands before i buy somthin that wont last

Ill post some pictures up of her soon.

Ben
