I've had a cooler pipe come off before and i could only drive at walking speed. I drove the car home like normal, it rev'd to 4000rpm no prob, just takes ages to get there. It was blowing some smoke higher in the revs so I'll have a good look at it 2moro and see if anything has come off.

can still be a leaking hose

Hey Jenkies how are u mate?

Just letting u know if u dont already, but my engine was getting stuck on the front diff shaft, what u need to do is open the front diff housing, in the middle there a 4 splines which rotate around, u need to put a lever bar in there and a slight tap will pop the shaft out.

This got me stuck for a good 3hrs.

Hey Luke (and Jenkies)

You don't need to remove the front diff housing - with a couple of lever bars / big flat head screwdrivers you can pop the shaft out in no time at all........saying that well done for succeeding anyway!! Never give up I say!

Cheers,

Andrew

I don't think that the turbo is dead chad. If it was dead it would be showing Vac all the time and wouldn't get to 0 as it's actually producing boost to get to 0.

Took it for a drive just before and it was blowing white smoke like a train.

RB20's are tough little luggers, mine has between 80 and 92PSI on ALL 6, and it has oil in the water, but it still pulled quite a decent figure a couple of weeks ago..

and it blows smoke too..

and I found out my RB25 is still probably a month away :D the place in Japan (not Streeter, the original seller) forgot to tell anyone that thier forklift broke :P

i do, loving every second, we might actually pull off a win

Aussie's will most likely loose this test match and damn right they should....a poor first innings performance by them see Pakistan in a easy position to take a win...currently 3/65 and only needing 176, which i think that they will comfortable get....

will make an exciting third test :(

Way ahead of ya mate, going to pick up that turbo tonight :(

Not that keen to pay $2000 on a set of rims for a drift hack.

Also does anyone have an RB20 that i can have a look at so i can work out where the water lines on the turbo go to? or take some pics? My current turbs has no water lines so i need to find out where to hook some up.

they all in shape Chad, all you have to do is line them up, its near impossible to get mixed up lol

Thing is i dont have any water lines. I'll have to buy some rb25 ones instead. I have noticed that on the block there in a hard line coming off of the block and one coming from behind the engine and they are joined with rubber hose. im thinking these are the old lines cut and joined?

maybe i can cut the new lines and just join them to the old ones.

      Starting again

      By Ozdavroz · Posted

      So my R32 GTST has been sitting around at my old mum and dad's place for a few years now...and it's time to bring it home. Main issue I have is that she hasn't been started in about 5 years or so, so I'm not too keen on just kicking it over and hoping that RB20 reputation for being un-killlable extends to long periods of neglect. My plan is to get it running there so I can move it around,  then get it towed back to my place where I can start working on it properly. The old folks driveway is a bad place to start a project like that. I'm getting old too and also haven't stuffed around with cars since forever, so kinda learning this stuff again. So far I've siphoned out all the shitty old fuel and topped up the coolant (thought it was fully dry but took 2 litres to fill the radiator). Planning on hitting the rusty rotors with some brake cleaner in case the tow truck driver gets a bit gung ho loading it up. As far as oil, it's got plenty although it's now dark in colour and obviously needs a change sooner rather than later. Was doing some YouTube research and was planning to hand-crank the motor from the harmonic balancer with a 37mm socket and breaker bar, removing the spark plugs and spraying some "fogging oil" in the holes but there's not much room to get in there with the radiator fan right up against it. Jacking the car up takes too long and I can't leave it half done between visits. So now I'm was thinking of cranking a few times it using the starter (removing plugs and spraying oil first). Reckon there's any chance it will do more damage that way if something's stuck inside the motor? Should I really change all fluids completely before I go any further? Grateful for any other advice you guys have to get her going safely too.

      Well, that's just wierd. Amongst a string of seemingly benign introduction and request for help threads, we have this one with a link.... to another, unrelated thread inside this forum. Colour me suspicious.

      Import insurance in 2025

      By Duncan · Posted

      So it looks like Lumleys are closing other than in Victoria, with the kind offer that another brand from the evil IAG multi-glomerate (NRMA) might offer insurance under their price and conditions if they want to, as an alternative. Lunmleys was good for us because they covered JDM and USDM imports, had 2 car "stable" insurance (ie, insure many cars but max of 2 can be driven at once), covered mods, reasonable overall prices. So, with them gone, who else should I consider? Shannons is last on my list, we used to be insured with them until we found they were helpful at taking premiums but much less helpful at claim time.
