hey guys

i recently picked up a cheap r32gtr that had the flywheel explode and punch out through the bell housing of the gearbox etc

now i have got another gearbox for it (came with the car)

the problem lies with about 4 dowels/bolts coming off the engine are either all mashed up, cracked off completely or just stuffed. to fix this 100% id have to drill out the holes etc, but not having a hoist or any real experience doing this i was wondering:

would it be alright if i were to put the gearbox on, only using the remaining holes that arn't totally fooked. yes it is dodgy i know, but im wondering if i do this will the gearbox twist off the engine first drive. or will it be pretty much right.

cheers

yeah that is too many broken

maybe for street use you could get away with 1 or 2....but not 4.

the block and or sump need to be welded and tapped, or replaced.

btw flywheel bits can do enourmous damage. follow the holes through the chasis and make sure they haven't hit anything important like cutting a wiring loom. Also watch out for pieces of the last owner's legs in the driver's footwell.

i managed to get the mooshed up studs out with a bit of tapping. stocked! theres now 2 out of the 9 that cant be in there because that part of the sump/block as cracked off completely. who thinks 7 out of 9 studs holding on the gearbox is sweet? surely that would be safe.

what do you mean that part has cracked off completely, it'll hold but you will have problems with it later on especially if you decide to modify and get defected. if its just the brackets that bolt up on each side of the motor to gearbox get new ones. fix it

yeah unfortunately the gtr has those bolts into the sump not a bolt on bracket.

i did say 1-2 might be ok for road use. fixing it will be very expensive. probably worth trying and keeping an eye one it.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
