ahh its alrite, i'll just rip the dash out and other ricer associated bits when i take delivery

other rice parts, does that include radiator caps

[Konrad]

do the rb's have head bolts or studs??

[shanef]

nah dont think it goes up that high.. but you wont need that much strenght for the gasket job? the only time i used mine was on the head bolts and they took about 72ft/lb

mine goes upto 250ft/lb. flywheel bolts are 110ft/lb but the main crank bolt is 340ft/lb

oh poor shane lol

cheer up mate! At least it wasn't something much much worse!

yeah i was originally thinking it was a rebuild job, i couldnt work i was dredding it that much

[IanB]

hey just a question for RB26 owners...

What RPM do you guys normally change gears at when accelerating but not racing or anything (eg from a standstill at the lights or when coming onto a highway)?

[shanef]

rb's standard are bolt type

[Liz]

hey ian.. just don't listen to what shane says.

[Konrad]

yeah mines a 250 one aswell..

by the time you get to 340 thats pretty tight.. for the cressidas crank pulley i used a teensy bit of loctite and this bad boy (borrowed from a mechanic) :

no idea what the tool is called but it worked good

you put a socket on one end and bash the shit out of the other

3-4k ian (no smart ass comments any1, i have driven a gtr a fair few times recently)

haha that's dan's, i used it on the last 33 i did a clutch in (the crank bolt came loose when i was undoing the flywheel bolts )

[IanB]

Okay, prehaps i should rephase my question...

ATM I change gears at about 7000 RPM if im driving spirited, is this too high for a RB26?

It doesnt redline till 7.5. If I keep reving the car out this high will I do dammage or can the RB26 take thoes sorts of RPM comfortably?

[Konrad]

well that wouldn't be dans one but yeah.. i guess u seen them before, any idea what theyre called?

How often do you drive 'spirited' as you say??

Changing gears at 7000 rpm wouldn't be overly good for any engine on a regular basis IMO

[lilmike86]

or does it have mods that just dont exist on it. i think we all know who i mean

[shanef]

lol shane do you like tomato or bbq sauce with your pwning :laughing-smiley-014:

at the end of the day, the people that 'pwn' me are just miesly gtst drivers

i dunno.. he's just a f**kwit. that's what's wrong with him

but seriously.. no one knows why it's taking so long, he's buying another car now too so it's not like he's out of money.

[lilmike86]
