Thanks for the help dude, you know your shit. :91_thumbsup:
The blue hose has kinked, it's not the correct hose, previous owner must've just slapped it on there.
I'll check out those websites and make a few calls on Monday.

How did you go with finding the s/s wound 5/8" hose today? I wouldn't mind seeing if I could get the original cam breather hose from Nissan also depending on price?

I didn't, I worked all day, won't have a chance to look into it until wednesday

but got 6 bottles of bourbon emoji4.png

Ahh, bourbon/whisky, best cure for any cold or flu, till the alarm goes off at 5:30am the next day. Putting a lemon in the neck of the beer should help out alot also.

yes i agree. 

 

im considering putting honey in a bourbon/coke :)

After 3 months of squealing and telling myself they will bed in. I finally got off my cake hole and chamfered the new front pads. Only the p/s was squealing but I did both to be sure. I took it real easy on them to bed them in and aren't sure why the p/s did and the d/s didn't? Dba slotted rotors and bendix advance pads. Any ideas?

what process did you follow? 

 

i have Q1RM pads. they said to do 2 runs from 60-0 as fast as possible. then 2 runs from 100-0 as fast as possible. i had just skimmed rotors too. never had any noise from them

Ill check out what we have at work tomorrow and see if we have anything like it and let you know. I went with the clear s/s wound so it wouldn't collapse and could see if it was leaving any oil residue or staining inside the tube after the s/s wool packed catch can. Before the air intake to the turbo. I've pushed the car pretty hard on occasions and have had no blow by. Yeay. My catch can is a fully poxy drift one. (from autobahn)
I bought it the day I picked up the car to get rid of the evian bottle and garden hose to avoid a yellow. So for the mean time I put another 5/8" fitting reversed inside the can and ran it to half way in the tank and and cut the internal s/s hose at 45* so it would filter fumes and still had room to dump oil. Will fab up a new one and plumb it in properly from Ali when I have the time. (NEVER) :-(

I work:

That doesn't include mandatory morning meetings, and customers not getting the f**k out on time.
My roster very rarely changes, but just in case always double check.

Put the whole lot in new then braked reasonably hard 80-20, 100-20. Only p/s squeal. I mainly chamfered the lead and trailing edge at about 30* with a fine cross cut metal file and just took the edges off very minimally. All good now. Just hate doing a job twice. F##* might not have stood on it hard enough.

Did u check if it was a 5/8" or 16mm fitting? Just put a rule on it like the pic I posted and check the pipe o/d (outside diameter) not the swage diameter. Let me know. I would assume it is but always check.

I was worried about the abs juddering on the new rotors and pads if I hit it too hard so was just a guess.


Try nissan. I've replaced with genuine before and don't remember getting raped

It might pay to put a tiny bit of permatex on the corners and rear. Especially if its leaked bad off the rear exhaust cam side before. This will cop a lot of heat because it is near the manifold, turbo and dump pipe. Just a thought. Check there is no gouges or issues around where the leak was and it seats and Seals nicely. Pay attention to the fit up and get everything hard finger tight first then cross torque the cam cover like you would a head gasket. Clean all of the sealing faces up tidy as with a turps rag and make sure there is no gritty bits hanging around or shit from the rag. Use a soft brush to clean up the inside of the cam covers if it's gritty. Set aside a load of time and don't rush it! Don't know how much mechanical experience you have so just general advice. Nothing worse than dumping the gas pedal to a oily smell. Will be awesomeness once you have finished!

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
