The other day i had my tailgate open at the super market, closed the tailgate and there was a loud bang. Then tried to open the tailgate and it was really heavy......The strut had SNAPPED on the ram and snapped the bolt in the thread on the roof side post-41430-0-79806300-1322732411_thumb.jpg pinch.gif

So I sourced a new strut (second hand), drilled out the old bolt...sort of, snapped an ezy out trying to get it out then had to drill/dremel and heli-coil.....C#*T.......but at least now its all sweet again though.

Adjusted tail gate glass as it was sitting out from the rubber seal 5mm.

And installed another screen that I scored for free from a mate (sound doesn't work out of it) installed new pure sine inverter in the back of the car and a ps3 in the tray above my spare wheel, just velcroed to a chunk of rubber then to the tray.......

I finally got the 34 rims on. They actually clear the brakes AND have enough room for wheel balancing weights....big step forward in my world....

looks good :)

Which trans cooler did you go with Leon? I got my B & M today, just need to make time to fit that and the shift kit.

Also got my fuel filter, Nismo thermostat, and HKS sensors. Streeter excellent as awesome.

Moving this weekend, but once I've moved I should have time to get into fitting some of the thousands or parts I've built up again.

Had a similar thing happen to mine about 2 years ago. You were a bit more resourceful in getting the bolt out as I had to pay some one to get mine out and that was expensive. Replacement bolt was only $5 from memory.

There's always a story, lol... I've had one in the shed for 6 months or more but now with the fmic inplace it was too big to fit nicely. I went to a local auto parts store & bought a generic one (Davies Craig brand I think), chosen purely on size & availability. I figured with all the ATF drained, there was no time like the present to plumb it in. The instructions were adamant it had to go after the radiator for the coolest possible fluid to return to the trans. I did the opposite, as per a fairly common consensus on here, & went trans > cooler > radiator > trans.

I've been keeping count mate, & I think your estimate of parts ready to go on the car is low :P. Good luck with the move. Do you realise that if you installed everything you wouldn't have to move them??

Thanks for rubbing in in you bastard! :nyaanyaa:

I have a better plan than that... half the bits are sitting at dads work next to his hoist. The rest will relocate there shortly, and I'll fit them there too. Next to fit is the cruise control, controls on one day, rest on the next. Hoping to fit the shift kit and trans cooler together after that, then fit and rewire fuel pump. TBH my B & M trans cooler looks pretty similar to yours, except mine is black and everyone knows black is cooler than silver.

Good to see you have a plan :happy: .To have a hoist (drools) would be great, but so far I've managed most things on ramps. Call me when doing the cruise control if you've got questions.

10 secs with the spray can & I've got a 'cool' B & M. Nice, thanks for the upgrade suggestion, lol.

Yeah It was a bitch to get out, they do them up farking tight from the factory..... I haven't snapped an easy out since I was an aprentice :mad: , so I was pretty annoyed at the time...... I made sure the second hand strut came with the bolt though.

TBH your trans cooler looks identical, except that it's silver instead of black.

With the cruise control, looking at your thread installing the buttons is pretty much plug and play now you've supplied wires with the right pins on them, right?

Plug & play, sure...:whistling: Nah, you'll be fine, but you've got my mobile number so please call/text if you have any questions. Just watch the removal of the Torx bolts in the steering wheel. I recommend turning the wheel so you can get at each one from out the drivers door. You need to ensure you get good access & be straight on when you apply torque to undo. A guy yesterday may have rounded off the inside of one of his.

Want to come and do mine, it snapped weeks ago. Lol

Havn,t broken a bolt yet, but the struts seem to grind and then clunk. Have a spare tail gate with struts so willtake them off and fit up.

Looks good. How do you access your a/c controls and the other controls?

      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. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. 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.
