As title states, I'm going to be filling up my rb20 manual box from the selector hole as I can't remove the filler hole on the side of the box as I only got a 17MM spanner which only works with the open end side. I don't have any 4 sided socket that fits over that bolt.

I'm using a BFH with the spanner aswell.. Won't budge.. I have a breaker bar I can use but I don't have any socket that fits over the bolt..

Anyone know how much oil I should put in ? I can't take the filler plug off so I might aswell just drain it and measure how much im putting in from the top.

cheers

Use vice grips or something to get that off.

I replaced that one with the same type of plug as the drain, so I can crack it with a 1/2" drive ratchet.

What I do is take the filler off, fill from the shifter until oil is JUST starting to overflow out of the filler, then chuck the filler plug back on.

From memory it's about 2.2 litres.

Where did you buy the same type plug from ?? I want to replace both the plugs on them as they are chewed from the previous owner!

    • If your head gasket lifted, you should have seen a coolant pressure spike. There's no need for a copper gasket/fire rings at 30psi. An MLS with perfectly clean/flat mating surfaces should suffice. 
    • 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!
