Well I have had my r32 4 about ,2 1/2 months now(stoked). My mate's didn't like it at first (haha). They came out the front and said what's that,, that's not a (GRUNTN). So I took them on 2 the freeway, well getting from 0-115 was enough 4 them to go what the f*** !Again 2day i caught up with a few hard holden mate's that had never seen it before, but knew the plates,, most of them have modded gen 111's and a vy ss stocker vt, vl,vp,vk, rah rah rah.... Don,t get me wrong I was the biggest holden nut from day 1. That's how I got my plates, driven a 50.l vt 38k latter, made me think there fat and heavy with grunt , but I lacked the grunt I used to own. A vk calais 355, plate at time vkk.308. She was a power house, 203rwkw ,9inch rah rah rah, 32k latter .Any way they were to pissed to open there eyes to the new girl, 2day. They may have opened but 4 a spew when I hit drift mode,they will see. I have had alot of my hard holden fans (if u call them that) disappointed. I have brought my second house and my new skyer which I,m getting morepower out of already just with maintainence.and my son calls it the movie car -fast and the furious - turbo sound :D

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
