who spun that? maybe im outta the loop but i can get a jun pump for under a grand but have no chance of doing a dry sump arrangement for under a grand.... maybe my supplier is jibbing me :)

just curious how much do you get a jun pump for, in the states the greddy is at 1000, the nismo 1 is at 1200

i would be more concerned about head lifting and and main caps walking ... before you put the sump on fit some ARP main studs or else the rods and so forth are a wasted excersise...

Have you ever had problems with ARP mains in the RB's when torqueing to ARP spec's?

Ive had loads of problems with them in SR20's pulling the block slightly and causing crank bind and finding people in South Africa to line bore SR20's is a real challange, left me with sour taste especialy when you have to grind 2 of them down so it doesnt crack the oil pan. I normaly use all their studs besides the mains, but with my RB I will need to upgrade but I really dont want to line bore a 11 000km old motor.

from memory it is 65ft/lbs..... which is not real tight. The only issues with SR's and ARP's is the fact the alloy middle sump sump section fouls and requires the removal of 3-mm off the top of those two ARP studs.

im doing another as we speak.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
