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.

"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".

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
