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

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
