I had to clean my engine before Auto Salon ..... It was then i realised that in order to get a engine like what you see in the mags it must always be cared for and looked after not just the once over clean!

i did do the ole degreaser and make sure you cover over your air filter and the AFM plus your alarm siren.....

One thing i found out when giving your engine a light spray the boost gauge might be a little funny when the sensor is wet...... had to wait a few hours for it to dry..... if you don't have much polished stuff just get a can of standard degreaser and go from there.... under my bonnet really aint that clean and took sometime...

oh one more thing..... don't do it on your grass..... IT WILL KILL IT...

Especially Greedy and his Immaculate lawn! :bahaha:

hey just use engine degreaser like i did last weekend:)

imagine 3 cans in a row.. u can see that 2 of them say degreaser and u assume the other one is degreaser aswell.

the first can runs out as its pretty much already empty. i grab the next can and spray it over the filter box. grey???? why is the spray not clear like the last can.. i quickly look at the can and to my retarded shock its a can of grey paint primer! NOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo...!!!!!!!

i get a rag and try to rub it off to no avail. i run to the bottle off turps.. drench the rag with it the rub it over where ive retardedly sprayed the grey primer. it came off, but after alot of rubbing.

as a minor consulation at least it was the stock standard air filter box which will be coming off soon for the pod filter.

ps. did i mention how retarded i am?:P

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
