Hey guys,

First post on SAU, not a skyline owner, putting an RB25 into my VL commodore this week. Gives it that little more "rep" Than a SOHC 30.

Basically i have a VLC with an RB25, the vehicle is running and drives well, just has some, err.... Cosmetic damage. Currently stripping it down for the install on friday,

How in the fuaaaark is the 4 bolts on the underside of the inlet plenum removed? I litterally having nothing that will get to it. Because of the bogan spec wiring it has unfortunately i cannot get my hands in under the plenum runners to stick a socket and extension up. Any info on this noob matter would be muchly appreciated!

Thanks guys,

Jacob

Yeah man cheers, Going to have a beer and call it a day before I crack the shits, So ill have a drunken sleep and attack it tommorow with a more docile "hangover" mood lol Im an apprentice mechanic so i've got a Kingchrome top and bottom filled with cheap goods, So im thinking get under it with a 1000ft extension and come through the runners. Doesn't help that it fits very nicely with bogan stereotype and is on SSL springs, and with my.... build.... Im going to be dryhumping the shit out the cooler i think! Plus the wiring is giving me hell!! So much bodgeynessness!!

take off the left cam cover as it will give you a bit more room and a straighter angle, give it a crack from the top with ratchet ring spanner. If you have got one with the end the pivots on a hinge will make your life easier. Stil not easy butt i eventually got mine off. hope it helps mate

yeah what he said and will help if you got a ratchet spanner.Putting on is worse because you have to start it on the thread lol fun times.

Thanks guys will do, just left it on and ripped the motor. Had the intention to just throw it straight in, but seeing as it was in another VL, Im certain it would feeling similar to a slapped ass, so Im going to freshen it all up, unfortunately no mods until a bit later next year, but definately contemplating a filter relocation kit! What a whore to remove!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
