New to the forum so I thought I'd drop a line and say hello. Although I dont own a Skyline due to the trash government we have here, I do have an S14 and a RB25det that I'm putting in it. So I'm looking to soak up some good info from you gents about the motor. I'm very car savvy but the RB is pretty foreign to me(No pun intended). Picked my 96 S14 up from someone about a month ago. Overall it was in decent shape despite a good size dent in the rear quarter, wich I'll have pulled shortly. Here she is...

I've got my RB25 pretty much torn down. I'm gonna leave the internals for now and build it next year,but I figured I'd replace most of the gaskets and seals while its out,clean / spray the block and head, do the timing among a few other things.

Yes I need to get it on the engine stand haha. Its in a storage unit as of rite now and I live in the North East part of the states and its quite cold out rite now :)

So there is some info about my car. I will be starting a build thread soon because I've got a good bit of cleaning / painting done and some mods done on the car.

Cheers

Josh.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
