I remember years ago standing in Chapel St, overhearing some wogboy talk about his VL turbo...no shit, I heard the words "stage 4 blow off valve" come out of his mouth

Yo, where my Jerrycans at?

I got home with the fuel guage sitting right on E, and 1/2 a jerry in reserve. Perfect.

I'm still not sure how I'm going to get them back to you.

We filled my car Friday night and it got home on just over half a tank so pretty happy with that.

whos doing wtac this year?

Me, attending not racing.

Does it make the noise in all except 4th or in all gears?

With the clutch in / clutch out?

Can't remember to be honest, pretty sure it's all gears.

Clutch out.

Damn, I think I went through about 45L getting home :/ Cruising off boost (but I guess the intake leak would have made it richer than normal)... However, it used over 40L for 240km on the way up as well.

40 / 2.4 = 16.6L/100k (mostly off boost, but a few little squirts)

No rush on the Jerries, won't need them all for a while (until the next long distance track).

Where do you live again? I'm in Vermont, work in Cheltenham

Mine wasn't too much different then, probably around 40L for 220km.

I'm on the other side, Altona Meadows/Maidstone so not a quick trip.

I'll organise to get them to you at the next meet hopefully or sort something else out.

Clutch out.

If all gears and does it when sitting there in neutral with the clutch out, could be input shaft / throw out bearing or yes, spigot.

If it does it in neutral, find out if the sound changes (louder, higher pitch) as you rev the engine...if so, then it's most likely the above. If it doesn't do it in neutral and the sound doesn't change with engine rpm then it will be output shaft or a diff.

    • 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?
    • 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.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • 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.
