hey, people are going to think you mean me.....we must be clear that Adrian was responcible for the bodgy stuff.

Yes. Make that very clear. My car is a balance of excellent (Stu) and bodgy-as-all-fark (Me). The latter is constantly being corrected and turned into the former.

you go alright for a pencil pusher. you should see my brother inlaw hold a tool.

i only got nervous when you were using drills and stuff.

It has been funny as hell. I started off with spanners and progressed to ratchets (I'm only allowed the quarter drive because I snap stuff) and then I moved on to drills and other power/air tools.

You should've seen the look on Stu's face when I walked past him holding the air hacksaw!!!! HAahahahahah!!!!

Went for a drive yesterday to clean the tune up a bit so that it's driveable and not emptying the fuel tank at idle. Ended up throwing out a set of brand new plugs as the base map is so rich they fouled and wouldn't clean up no matter what we did. Put a new set in ($18 for all six :P) and with the changes to the fuel map it idled beautifully. Return to idle was a problem though and so with some more tweaks to the decel/overrun settings, it finally stopped stalling on the back-off and now returns to idle as it should.

Big thank you to my mate Kon for his help and use of his laptop and skills. I'll put some kays on it and then take it to the dyno as soon as time permits.

Also, took my rego label into the workshop to apply to the windscreen before driving it for any distance and laughed when i saw the date - October 13. $1100 to register it for a total of 6 weeks potential driving. Ouch!

Not yet, mate. Still a couple of little things to do and I've been on a big deadline with work for the last couple of weeks so no time to get them done. Hopefully in the next week or so I'll be on the dyno and then the track. Cross your fingers for me.

yeh, actaually -12 fittings, but you get the idea. pickup is welded to the bottom of the sump and piped internally to the fitting. plumbed from there through the pre filter, then pump, then inline filter then into the block where the standard filter usually goes.

so with the oil pump setup, im asuming the -10 on the front of the oil pan is conected to the oil pickup in the sump?

    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
