Apologies for showing enthusiasm re cruise 2nd May. Personally officer Neil can go over my stock 240K with a fine tooth comb if he likes. Hoon drivers, ego trippers and those intolerant of new members not welcome anyway. If your interested in a legal cruise and the opportunity to check out some fine rides then please contact me via PM or reply below. Thank you for the opportunity to organize this on your site.

Regards

Martin

Just to clear up something from my previous post one of you chaps commented on picking on the kid once then let it go, difficult to hear when you are a 42 yo 6'4" bloke. Good idea to meet for dinner and see if the same cheeky attitude is expressed there by some of the more beligerent members who commented. Would prefer R31 or older for this run anyway.

For future reference, please put some thought into your topic titles .... "Intelligent Responses" is not even close to acceptable - make your topic title very pertinent. Everyone (especially me) does not want to have to open your topic to see what it is about. Good luck with your cruise.

And for the record, your car can be 100% legal, yet if officer Neil wants to defect you, rest assured he will. He only has to suspect illegal mods (or any variety of unroadworthiness) and he will send you to Regency, when your slight oil leak at the rear of the engine is noticed, old/worn bushes will fail inspection, suspension components will be scrutinised (and on a 240k almost certainly fail in some respect).

Welcome aboard Marty.

It is good to have someone showing enthusiasm, especially for the older rides. I would bring out my R31 GTS2 however I will be away that weekend.

Bear with us initially while you discover our forum etiquette... we do get a lot of toolbags (especially in school holidays) trying to arrange fully sick cruises etc.

And this is why our defect/roadworthy inspection system is up the shit. Too much faith in police discretion.

Thanks gents thats much more civil, have posted this cruise on Ozdat for sure. My vision was for Datsuns/ Nissans from the early 60's to current models to take part in this cruise as an exhibition of old school to current technology. If newish Nissan owners are only interested in cannonball runs and are rightly worried about being targeted by the cops then thats fair enough, I'm sure theres plenty of other cruises to suit that can be organised in stealth. Hopefully if the boys in blue are reading this they'll take into account the legal framework thats being applied to this cruise and show some encouragement for some enthusiasts enjoying themselves in a legal manner. My 240K won't be doing any burnouts as all it does is fry the clutch with hardly any wheelspin- not that I've ever tried it, sort of. Anyway I probably havn't given enough notice for there to be the numbers I would like. Unless I can get a lot more committed yeses its looking like I'll pull it.. so to speak.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
