why new?

i have a good condition one here you can have

[StevenCJR31]

The only reason i was chasing a new one is so that it has new ring gear but if the one you have is okay then i will take you up on your offer thanks jonno

[StevenCJR31]

Thanks guys, will txt you shortly Jonno. . . i think i still have ya number

[StevenCJR31]

damn. . .shoulda asked about a pilot bush for crank when i spoke to you on sunday jonno . .any ideas where i can get one?

Most Auto RB Cranks have the Manual Pilot bush also, Remove the Steel Flexplate Hub and see if the thin bush is there,If so clean it well and lube it if not you can buy the bush from any Nissan dealer. Nissan have used the same bush since the late 60s on most Nissan/Datsuns.

thanks N I B . . . i thought i would have to go genuine but it turns out veale in Redcliffe have them so i got a new bush for 8 bucks

it will be a spare if my crank already has one!

[JonnoHR31]

auto and manual are different sizes. if your converting from auto you have to change it

[N I B]

Not true, The Auto pilot is steel and presses in behind the Manual Bronze bush. You have to remove the Auto pilot.

[JonnoHR31]

no auto rb30s have anything in the back of the crank the correct size for a manual input shaft.

i will suss it out this loooong weekend but from the QUICK glance at the motor i had last night im gunna have to put the bush in. . .jonno do i use a socket/grease to install the bush?

[JonnoHR31]

once you have the auto one out clean out the crank as best you can then soak the new spigot in engine oil then tap it in with a socket and hammer. make sure you use the right size socket as its very soft and distorts easily.

[StevenCJR31]

Thanks jonno, any suggestions on how to get the auto bush out?

[JonnoHR31]

either pack it with grease and find something thats a tight fit inside the auto one and bash it into the crank or if that doesnt work weld something to it (without touching the crank) and weld that to a chain or similar and give it a tug.

[StevenCJR31]

Thanks Jon!

when i converted my Ti, had to remove the auto bush and replace it with a manual bush.

I did mine at a mechanics workshop though, on a hoist. Feel sorry if you have to do it laying under the car.

Need to seriously work on my ti haha

[StevenCJR31]

ive got the engine on a stand so no worries for me there erik, def no fun doing that job with the engine in the car
