Hello from Portugal,

I am doing a rb25/30det swap into a GQ patrol and I have a question about the vacuum line hookup.

post-127913-0-18034300-1419794527_thumb.jpg

Does this output has the any kind of check valve ? Is it threaded so I can replace it by an AN8 adapter or something. This line needs to be connected to 2 vacuum reservoirs (one for the brake booster and clutch, the another one is to operate the rear locker).

This had previously an rd28t diesel in it, since on a diesel the vacuum is a byproduct of the alternator, I never had to worry about check valves since it only sends vacuum.

Any ideas are welcome.

Diesel Patrols are a bit of a trick as normally their system doesn't see positive pressure.

The clutch booster has a check valve in the actual vacuum hose (check hose orientation) and usually the brake booster has a non return valve at the vacuum hose connection to the diaphragm.

Check you don't mix the brake and clutch vacuum supplies. The clutch supply has an orifice to bias vacuum to the brake booster.

The vacuum tank has no check valves.

I'd be fitting a check valve in the vacuum supply hose, close to the engine.

Use worm drive hose clamps on all vacuum hoses between the engine and that new check valve.

Have seen V8 petrol trucks backfire when starting and blow vacuum hoses off. (in the olden days)

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
