Hi Guys been on this website for a while and has been a great help! Having a fitment issue with a car of my own I was hoping someone could shed some light on. Car is RB25 NEO Auto, pedals, master cylinder etc all fitted and looking good, have a R33 gearbox (we bought secondhand so unknown if anything has been changed with it) auto stuff has been all removed, new spigot fitted to crank, new driftworks lightened flywheel for RB series, (apparently all the same), new ACT paddle clutch for R33, new fork and release bearing and slave cylinder. But with all parts fitted the gearbox will not go flush with the engine, if pulled slightly tight with bolts the gearbox input shaft won't spin. Searched many forms etc and all parts we have are correct as far as I'm aware. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks 

Hey guys sorry only seeing this now been hectic at work, yeah proper clutch alignment tool has been used, and we have 2 skyline spacer plates as we thought we thought that was the issue but no better. Really at a loss with this now lol have tried a shorter pivot ball for the release bearing as we thought it was hitting the pressure plate to early and not allowing gearbox to go flush but again no joy.

You probably knew this but just in case:

Did you remove the considerably larger spigot that supports the turbine from the crank first? If not, I would not be surprised if that would give you headaches.

 

This guy, circled very poorly in the pic needs to go

And the crank should look like this afterwards.

Hey tsuokun, thanks for the reply, yeah we had removed that collar/spigot from the centre of the crank was one of the first things we done, was a pain in the ass to remove but yeah it's gone but still no joy? May be a silly question but is there different depths of clutch plate or anything etc? Can't imagine so but it seems that the gearbox input shaft plate with the sleeve for the release bearing to slide on seems to hit the friction plate of the clutch not allowing it to go flush? From what we can kinda of see with marks and a paint pen anyway, but again no real way of seeing what is stopping when the gearbox is almost on. Thanks

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
