Main bolts are 38ft/lbs or 53NM.

Conrod is 12ft/lbs or 16NM then tighten an additional 60-65 degrees.

Funnily enough I just did all this last night. I dont have a protractor or angle wrech so I just marked on the rod cap where 1 corner of the nut was after the initial 16NM and then just turned it until the next corner lined up with that mark. Oddly enough, it ended up being the same as the main bolts after that extra 60 degrees. Tested it on the next one and 38 ft/lbs took it around 60 degrees or thereabouts.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your reply. This is the same info I had but I guess being old school it didn't sound tight enough to me. The plus 60 deg. part gets me too but I can see where you're going with it and it sounds good to me. Just makes me question why it can't just have a torque setting as at the end of the day they will still be tighten up all the same.

Once again, thanks for the feedback. I'll get on with my rebuild now.

Regards,

Denis

43ft/lbs to achieve the 60 or 65 degrees?? I may need to go and nip them up another 5 ft/lbs each if thats the case. I was considering buying one the other day, but it would have put the assembly bit off even more. Probably a good idea to get one!

Thanks for the clarification though :( Hopefully Denis has taken note of what you said before assembling his bottom end.

Hi. I also wonder how much torque is needed for the rod bolts on RB25DET.

I found this on a other site, is that right?

1) Apply engine oil to the conrod bolts and nuts bearing surface.

2) Tighten to 14-16Nm or 1.4-1.6Kg-m.

3) Place alignment marks to the nuts and the conrod cap (eg white paint etc) in one direction (if using the protractor).

4) Additionally tighten 60-65 degrees.

      R32 only blows hot air

      By Duncan · Posted

      Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)

      Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.

      Wires cut underneath shifter cover

      You'd really have to pull it apart further to know, it least you can be confident that the one heading to the back is not connected any more. There was once a ground on the shifter seal mount too, your head unit issue could be that simple

      Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit.

      R32 only blows hot air

      By SeanR32GtSt · Posted

      Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
