My Rebuild And What I've Found Out.

[R31Nismoid]

T04GTR, one more "item" for sale plug and my big bad voodoo stick comes out.

goes for anyone else too

I asked him by pm for some details and he couldn't attach the pic to the pm so posted it here. I don't think he's pushing it.

adam...

have you ever had or will you be taking the plenum off at any stage ?

The plazmaman plenums use the standard runners....but they are for an R33...just wanna know if the neo has same stud bolt pattern as the 33.

[Abo Bob]

It's all off at the moment but not split. If you buy me the gasket I'll take it off and trace it all out for you (and take photos from the front angle, side angle, northwest angle, the approach, the getaway and not to mention the aerial photography).

I've taken it off once before without replacing the gasket so I'm a bit weary of doing it again because it split last time and will probably break completely this time.

That said I might get that gasket with the engine rebuilding set. Does anyone know if this gasket is included with the VRS kit?

[Cubes]

The VRS kits come with inlet manifold and plenum gaskets, as in head to inlet manifold and inlet manifold to plenum.

[Abo Bob]

Cool.

[Downforce]

you can make your own gasket for the plenum using thast "gasket paper" material, just trace out the pattern and cut.

Sorry to go off-topic a bit, but..... Cut with what? Last time I bought gasket material it had a middle metal layer that made it very hard work with. I ended up using a punch of sorts.

[Cubes]

You can buy different thickness gasket paper from any autoshop, even supercrap has it.

Yes, I know that. Doesn't really answer the question though

Get some true gasket paper from supercrap etc, use a stanley knife...

Last time I tried that I made such a mess of it. It looked like I'd given a box of cornflakes to a 3 year old and told him to make me a hat.

[shonen]

hhaha so adam since the VRS kit comes with it does that mean I get free aerial shots of the runners ??

my attempt looked like that aswell.

2 hours of swearing and a trip to nissan later i was sorted.

Hows the rebuild going? when does it go back in the car?

[Abo Bob]

I'll sort it for you shonen. Cef11e - still not sure if I will get it in time for an install this weekend or next. 50/50 atm.

[shonen]

hey bob your a mod....make this a sticky !!

I think there are enough differences between the neos and the other RB25s to justify it !!

anyways hope to give you another traffic light drag when you get the new engine in !!

Adam, all the gaskets for the externals on the engine come with the kit, manifolds, copper washers for oil lines etc.. you wont need to buy anything extra.

[Abo Bob]

Here's my engine before I put anything on it.

And here it is in the engine bay.

And this tool does the top 2 bastard bolts connecting the bell housing to the engine. Just thought people might like to know what is required. I got the long bar from a $2 type tool shop (cost $10 )

[knore]

Didnt get any pics of it pulled down? rebuild pics?

[Abo Bob]

Here's the crank with the new collar on.
