I've had a cooler pipe come off before and i could only drive at walking speed. I drove the car home like normal, it rev'd to 4000rpm no prob, just takes ages to get there. It was blowing some smoke higher in the revs so I'll have a good look at it 2moro and see if anything has come off.

can still be a leaking hose

Hey Jenkies how are u mate?

Just letting u know if u dont already, but my engine was getting stuck on the front diff shaft, what u need to do is open the front diff housing, in the middle there a 4 splines which rotate around, u need to put a lever bar in there and a slight tap will pop the shaft out.

This got me stuck for a good 3hrs.

Hey Luke (and Jenkies)

You don't need to remove the front diff housing - with a couple of lever bars / big flat head screwdrivers you can pop the shaft out in no time at all........saying that well done for succeeding anyway!! Never give up I say!

Cheers,

Andrew

I don't think that the turbo is dead chad. If it was dead it would be showing Vac all the time and wouldn't get to 0 as it's actually producing boost to get to 0.

Took it for a drive just before and it was blowing white smoke like a train.

RB20's are tough little luggers, mine has between 80 and 92PSI on ALL 6, and it has oil in the water, but it still pulled quite a decent figure a couple of weeks ago..

and it blows smoke too..

and I found out my RB25 is still probably a month away :D the place in Japan (not Streeter, the original seller) forgot to tell anyone that thier forklift broke :P

i do, loving every second, we might actually pull off a win

Aussie's will most likely loose this test match and damn right they should....a poor first innings performance by them see Pakistan in a easy position to take a win...currently 3/65 and only needing 176, which i think that they will comfortable get....

will make an exciting third test :(

Way ahead of ya mate, going to pick up that turbo tonight :(

Not that keen to pay $2000 on a set of rims for a drift hack.

Also does anyone have an RB20 that i can have a look at so i can work out where the water lines on the turbo go to? or take some pics? My current turbs has no water lines so i need to find out where to hook some up.

they all in shape Chad, all you have to do is line them up, its near impossible to get mixed up lol

Thing is i dont have any water lines. I'll have to buy some rb25 ones instead. I have noticed that on the block there in a hard line coming off of the block and one coming from behind the engine and they are joined with rubber hose. im thinking these are the old lines cut and joined?

maybe i can cut the new lines and just join them to the old ones.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
