Hey guys im attempting to change my starter motor this weekend. Not very familiar with rb20 engines but i do have some knowledge on mechanics. Is it a easy enough swap over? can it be done by the backyard mechanic? lol is there anything i should know about that will save me from cursing all morning? tips/help/advice

disconect your battery to start of with

it preety easy to do you will need a 12mm spanner and 14mm spanner 10mm spanner for battery

all you do is disconect batt, remove wires on starter one will be a 12mm nut and the other will be a push on wire

undo two 14mm bolts and pull it out

and install is reverse just make sure yoou compare your old one with new one to make sure there the same

it is preety tight to get your hands in there but shouldnt take you any longer than a hour to do it.

and its easyer from the top than the bottom

well gave it ago today, with no luck, and the short spurt of rain didnt help either lol. I just couldnet manage to undo the one bolt. managed to get the bottom one off piss easy but the top one, couldnt get my hands or a spanner in there. is there a special shaped spanner or socket piece i could you to squeeze it in there?

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
