I used loctite on mine, as I couldnt click it off at 330ft/lb. I sparingly used loctite supernut lock which is the lower grade blue type.

I'd advise against using stud lock (red) or the retaining compound (green). I've seen bolts permanently attached with these grades. Once I saw a coarse threaded bolt that wasn't that much larger than the balancer bolt which we couldnt undo. Not with a 3/4" rattle gun, not with an 1" rattle gun and not even with an 1" rattle gun that used an 1" air line!!!

Note to self: Only use BLUE loctite!!

I really dont see a point in replacing the crank seal as its not leaking and would be more trouble than its worth IMO.. I am however doing the camseals and half moons, replacing the tensioner and possibly the bolt for the tensioner and the stud for the idler. The idler itself feels very smooth so im thinking not to bother replacing it... Any input?

Cheers,

You're better off replacing the idler. You'll kick yourself if you have to pull the whole thing down again in 10000k's if the idler gets noisy. They're only about $70 - do it now or suffer the pain.

Just posting these details as the search on this forum just sux now. Can't go past a couple of months.

BSC Motion Technology

3/ 1968 Hume Hwy Campbellfield VIC 3061

ph: (03) 9357 7515

Idler: NSK 56TB 2801 B01

Tensioner: NSK 60TB 0683 EA7L 806

Now I spoke to Steve when I got mine there and they were only about $120 for the pair. They apparently had hundreds in the warehouse.

Is it really important to torque the crank pulley bolt to exactly 446-466Nm?? Thats a huge amount of torque and the wrench needed would be very expensive. Im planning to buy a smaller one for lighter jobs but i cant even find some where to higher one like that. Someone said they just did it up as tight as they could, and it was ok. I'd prefer to torque it to the right tension but sounds as though it will be difficult...

Yea you need a 3/4 drive torque wrench , i have one but i'm in Sydney otherwise i would lent it to you .

As long as you do it up very tight with a big bar it should be o.k. , i always do them up with a torque wrench though .

Recently put the crank pulley bolt back in and did it up real tight, now i cant undo it to make changes! I didnt think id need to undo it so i did it as tight as i could. I've already broken about 3-4 breaker bars!! Can anyone help me to get this bastard undone?? :(

Thanks guys,

Deren :(

Deren, maybe call lubemobile and tell them to bring a 3/4 rattlegun. Has to be worth paying for that. I have a heavy duty pulley pin spanner I made that should hold the load as well to make it easier and maybe you could buy a 3/4 breaker and socket.

I'd come and help but still recovering from back surgery.

Thanks again for the reply Geoff. Would a rattle gun fit in there with only the radiator removed?

      R35 GT-R production ends after 18 years

      By Rezz · Posted

      Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By MBS206 · Posted

      21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
