Hi all,

Need to know the length of an RB30 dipstick, could one of you guys please measure the length from the tip to the base (not including any of the plastic handle), just the metal strip.

Needs to be very accurate, in mm. Also need the distance from the tip to the full line.

CHEERS

OK I have what I believe to be an RB30 dipstick. It has the Nissan logo and 42LO1 stamped on it.

From the tip to the beginning of the plastic bit is326mm

to the bit of the plastic that hits the tube 352mm

to the top of the crosshatched area 35mm

to the centre of the kink 50mm (the letter H is stamped between the top of thr cross hatched area and the kink.

Mine is 440mm from seat to tip, 419mm from end of plastic to tip, 35mm from tip to H, 22mm from tip to L.

Mine has the Nissan logo but with 21000 stamped on it as well.

The tube length is 310mm (+ - 5mm) from the block to the end of the tube.

I think the tubes may be of diffeent size for the different blocks, models, series, maybe ?????

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
