lol flux capacitors.....one day mine will see the sunlight again.

stay away from the cheap willwood callipers they are poor quality and flex like crazy. obviously their expensive stuff is as good as anyone else's expensive stuff.

the only brakes i would spend money on for a budget build are the ksport/d2/g4/whatever 8 piston ones. I have 3 sets of them on different cars, they are excellent

I forgot about the club crane...thanks steve :(

Im gonna pull the motor down on the floor, it will be easy enough to get a bare block onto the stand once its being decked and hot tanked.

Linton - you need a new partner lol :ninja:

haha... nah shes alright :cool: ... i forgot to add in that little story, that the lifting strap i was using i nicked from work... and it was in the "do not use" box with a danger tag on it... and the carport roof was under a little bit of stress with a 200kg RB swinging around... so... she was the smart one and stood well back..

she doesnt bat an eyelid to any of my stupid ideas... like taking a perfectly good, registered and driving r32 off the road for 2 years to completly ruin it and make it an undriveable cop.

to get my engine off the stand and onto the back of my ute... i wedged a support in under a beam in our carport (35x70 non structual pine), threw a chain around a couple of the joists and and lifted the engine with a block and tackle... backed the ute under it and lowered it down onto the back.. it took all of 3 min and no dramas... the carport was stressing a little, but nothing major, it was all over in a short period.. i removed the stand attachment while it was on the ute...

im sure you could do this in reverse.. bolt the stand attachment on to the engine on the ground... then lift it up and slot it straight into the engine stand.. take 2 secs.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
