Bummer...

Is that a groove in the o-ring?  Is there a lip or a gasket protruding that is cutting into the o-ring?

Also, good to see you're wearing Chinese safety boots.  Too cold down here in Victoria for those at the moment! 🤣

Yeah that groove is where the join for the side plate is and it’s just an oring that ended up snapped like that because of the groove.

yeah I had the shits and just ripped it off despite not having the correct shoes lol

Is it a gasket protruding between the two parts of the engine that is sits over the top of or is it a height difference between the two parts?  To me it looks like a protruding gasket with how sharp the cut is.

No its just a flat oring and the bits that protrude are where it wasn’t touching, also that join runs straight through the actual water gallery and my guess is the water runs straight through it

I think I found the main problem 

I was only just watching that YouTube guy who rebuilt a "12" rotor and needed to make his own "O" rings for it

Special primer and glue isn't apparently optional 

At around 27.30

 

Ok after using rtv to replace all the orings, I fitted anything that holds the water in and filled the water and happy to say there’s no leaks. I then pulled the radiator back out and fitted the timing belt and covers again.

Decided while I had the plenum off I’d change a few things 

IMG_9737.thumb.jpeg.700039d380afd59accfc36ceed196f0f.jpeg

first being getting a Wiggins flange welded on because I’m going to get rid of the silicone hoses and use clamps everywhere

second being take all the mounts for the throttle cable off, I’ve now sent the plenum out to get the holes welded and powder coated

Nothing really exciting, hole in the plenum has been welded up and at the powder coaters

worst part is I’m literally just waiting for this and I can start the car

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
