Not seized, just tight.

My dad had it off last month to replace the front main, missed the oil pump seal was leaking also.

He did it back to spec, almost 420Nm, no Loctite. That's over 300 ft lbs, my basic torque wrench only goes to 150.

It's just a tight bolt as it holds the oil pump and ps pump on the crank. No keyways for those.

Service manual has a special tool set for this job, with a pulley holder that has a handle well over 1m long and requires 3/4" breaker for the bolt itself.

Tight!

I do have a couple little disposable butane bottles in the shed, the ones you swap the head piece from one to the next. Left over from removing subframe bushes lol

Will need to remove clutch fan either way, which is also a shit free spinning pulley.

That's a job for the new year as I'm off to QLD this Friday.

lol, I'll give it a shot.

Next post

"So guys, I'm posting from the hospital, things didn't quite go to plan. The bolt is still there, which is more than I can say for half the bones in my hand"

I'll just get a bigger bar, it'll be right. 

 

 

At the risk of actually helping one of these looks pretty handy. I haven’t had to use one because I am strong and can do it with my fingers.

You know what? I was wrong. 

You guys are incredibly helpful lol 

No progress on Silvia either, new house and changes at work eating up/costing me money. Need to put a stack away to ship the gear off so I at least have a long block built. 

I was having yet another flip flop moment with it all the other day, do I just sell all that SR gear, refresh the CA, cams turbo (the shit i sold....) and just keep driving it? But I'll just continue with the SR swap, knowing it will take a while to get it all done but that it should last a good while and have more than enough power for my abilities. 

Yes, I'm aware how painfully indecisive I can be, thanks lol Spare a thought for my missus. "Don't you dare sell all that stuff, just build the damn thing and drive it".

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
