guys i remember reading here that there are other ways of filling up the g/box with oil than th bolt on the passenger side?

ive just spent the past 1.5hours trying to undo the filler bolt (and lost some skin in the process) and it stuck.. ive tried everything...

so are there other ways to fill it up?

Could try the top through the shifter, that's where i filled mine. But it's a bit of a bitch to get the circlip on/off to get the shifter out.

You need a breaker bar. Put your leg on it... Thats how I undid my drain bolt at least.

:blush: I thought this only topped up the transfer case?

When I chewed 3rd gear I dropped in another wrecker rb20det box.

The drain plug came out fine but the filler plug was and still is 100% stuck.

I used a 1.5m breaker bar, using 2 people in a pit we bent the bar, we literally chewed through the metal of the filler plug, I bought a perfect fitting socket type fitting for it so there was no slack and no chance of rounding it, we didn't round it we literally moved the metal/alloy. :P

There was no way that filler plug is coming out.

I filled mine through the shifter hole.

the main prob i have is space and not enough room to fully make use of the leverage the bar gives....

out of curiosity what size socket have u guys used, as the bolt is square i went and bought a 19mm bit from repco which seems to fit snugly..

il have another crack tomoro in the daylight....

Hey mate!

Feel sorry for you! I had this exact problem on my 33 after i had drained the box :D

What you need my friend is a very big bloke to come round and remove it for you. I had a socket set with a ring spanner on the end (no breaker bar available) and one of my mates managed to get it off.

I found mine had some thread lock on it.... was not happy....

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)

      You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
