Really, how do you ensure all the water is out?

I would have thought you use something that mix's with oil, once flushed run some cheap oil through it, drain it and then put the good stuff in.

you just turn the engine on, when it heats up the water dries...duh!!

my neighboor came over earlier and he undid the bolt undeneath and we drained the oil out then i used the hose to flush the oil out and squired in some washing up liquid to clean it out then flushed it again and after a while only clean water came out. now im trying to dry the water so it doesnt rust and im using my mums hairdryer, how long do you think it will take to dry out and what oil should i put in?? thanks i took a photo alsopost-80834-0-85379300-1296008622_thumb.jpg

It's good you have a responsible adult helping you. Scissors can be very dangerous.

As far as oil goes? I'd recommend your mum's Singer Sewing machine oil or Johnson's Baby oil.

:wacko: Good luck with that...

what a joke. do some reading before you touch mechanicals. ie Google if you dont know what the F you are doing.

get 2litres of kerosene and 2litres of methylated spirits, mix together in a bucket, flush the engine with the 4lt mix. Let it drain thru. let it dry for a cple hours.

then buy 5litres of $20 cheap oil and an engine oil flush additive (around $15 from a auto store). pour all this in.

run the engine for 10mins, IDLING only. No foot on accelerator.

then drain again, and fill with good oil, 5litres of Castrol Edge Sport 10/40, or Motul 300v, or Royal Purple, a decent oil worth around $75-$100 for the 5litres.

Dont skimp on the above.

Do as I suggest and you should be ok. Water in the engine is just stupid. Clean it out with kero/metho, then flush with cheap oil/oil flush additive, then replace with new fresh top brand oil.

Just tell your brother you dimwit!

it is plausable for someone to be so stupid, I've heard it happening before.

so if your serious, before you eff shit up even more, cut up some car wash sponges into little cubes and put it in the HKS cap part. You need to get all the water out first. then start it without oil and all the foam should come out of the screw hole at the bottom.

Vegetable oil works well, especially if you like the smell of canola

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
