mad... thanks heaps when i need them i'll write them all down and list them to save you from looking up the book heaps of times... :) i found the ones for the cam journals and just did them up to the same as the R32 GTR ones, i think they were 6.8-8.7 something (Nm or ftlb, unsure)

thanks again!

actually, just 5 quick ones, these are what i'll be doing first thing in the morning :)

Head Bolts,

Inlet Manifold to head

Inlet Plenum to Inlet Runners

Exhaust Manifold to head

Turbo to manifold

Thanks

Andrew

RB25 Cam brackets show 9-12 N-m

Head bolt steps:

1) tighten 29N-m

2)Tighten 98N-m

3)loosen all

4)Tighten 25-34N-m

5)Final Tighten 93-103N-m

Inlet manifold to head:

bolt 18-22 N-m

Nut 11-13N-m

Plenum to runners:

nuts and bolts 18-22N-m

Exh manifold to head 27-31 N-m

Turbo to manifold 25-39N-m

maximajim,

That book doesn't tell you how to troubleshoot VCT does it??

Mine doesn't seem to be working. The mechanic says the computer is switching the solinoid but nothing seems to be happening. The head has been removed and everything pulled apart, but now its back together it doesn't work. Can you see if it says anything in the manual.

Thanks

well my engine is going in tonight so tomorrow i'll hook up all the bits on the top and hopefully turn the key and it will start!!!

if you have a scanned image of the head and where all the vacuum and fuel hoses go that would be sweet!!!

Gi your in luck :P

Sorry no, no component t/s for the VTC

But since it is a soleniod just pull the plug and check the solenoid terminals for continuity.

fantastic... thanks HEAPS for that maximajim!!!

i'm almost finished! Just got the timing to do and put the radiator and other stuff at the front back together! Hopefully if it doesn't rain today i'll have her fired up!

i said this in another thread but i'll say it again... You are all champions... i love this forum!!! It's full of knowledge and helpful people!!!

I did that and there is continuity but it reads 117 ohms resistance across the terminals? Is this normal?? Does the manual say anything??

If anyone has an RB25 with VCT and a multimeter, can they check theirs for me?

Thanks guys.

Mine reads 10.2 ohms.

I've also tested it seperately with a 12v supply and it pulls the solenoid in O.K., so i'm pretty confident it should read around this figure.

I'd suggest taking it out of the head, and doing the above - just don't short the wires together! maybe use some small spade terminals with tape around them crimped to some wire. You will hear a click if it works OK.

Thanks for that. I just went and tested mine and I can hear the solenoid activating or clicking quite clearly. So I suppose that rules out it being the solenoid even if the resistance is a little high. I think it needs to go back on the dyno and to see if there is an audible clicking going on. If there is, then it must be a oil supply problem, if there isn't then it must be a ECU/wiring problem.

I doubt whether its an oil supply problem, as I have t'ed a hose into where the oil pressure sender unit is, to feed the VCT and my gauge is reading that I have normal oil pressure. So the other hose leading to the VCT should also be seeing that same pressure.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
