Hi All,

One of my counter weights have come loose in my steer wheel. Which Im guessing is because of the vibrations my 2way gives out. So I am on the hunt for a T50H socket to take off my steering to mount this counter weight back again. But so far no luck at the normal tool outlets. Can anyone recommend any ?

I have tried:

Supercheap

Repco

All Tools

Auto 1

I live SOR so I would prefer somewhere in that area as I work full time office hours so its hard for me to get anywhere too far.

Cheers in advance.

pal - its a torx-head bolt im pretty sure

try coventry's i know they do a CGL kit which comes with a t50 bit. my snap-on kit only goes up to t40, and i bought a massive SP Tools kit with heaps of 1/4drive bits and the largest is t40 too.....

edit: also forgot to add the CGL kit are the TxxH kits - so they come with the little security hole in the middle (and my snap-on ones dont! how gay is that haha)

Cheers Jimmy,

Any luck on finding just the individual socket? I have a full set of TXX (the socket without the hole) so I dont really need another full set of exactly the same but with a hole. Bit of a pain if I have to buy the full set.

Ill keep looking for this week, if no luck I guess I will have to buy the whole set! I would get pissed off at my 2way from the vibrations but I love it too much haha....

      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.
