Hello

I finally got my RB 25 engine from what I told everyone about in the summer. It is about 4 years old.(previous owner ordered one from Nissan.) It has a 1.2 metal head gasket and a Greddy Front plenum on it.

The engine was sitting in a car ( car did not run, not complete) for a year or more next to the ocean. The pulley wheels have rust. Should I replace all of the pulley wheels? Should I replace the alternator? Should I replace the power steering pump wheel? The last time the engine was in a car, it ran fine.(different car.)

What other things should I check for on the engine?

help please

Pictures will help, is it rust or just rust stains? If it's just rust stains you could probably just use baking soda or sandpaper it off

Before starting, you will want oil + filter change, pour alittle engine oil into each spark plug hole to lubricate the top of the pistons, also disconnect the CAS so the engine turns but doesn't fire to build up oil pressure before actually starting it.

      I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real

      Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.

      No clips on this one like the other connector. Only that red tab that I can push slightly up.

      For any loom connector that has an obvious release that resists pushing far enough to unclip, just spray some silicone lube into it. You might also benefit from using a bent screwdriver or small pick to push in the right place at the right angle.

      R34 GT Indicator not Cancelling

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey all, I went to try and fix my indicator not canceling, but I couldn't remove the clockspring cable under the column so I could twist that green thin. Anyone know how to remove this cable? I see this red tab but didn't have any luck. I was thinking of unscrewing it but wasn't sure if it would cause issues. I did notice for my indicator stalk, 2 out of 3 cables were plugged in but the last cable wouldn't fit in the stalk. I'm getting it's for fog lights. It was like this when I originally pulled it off.
