Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8


Recommended Posts

Right. I'm wid ya now. Sounds like a mission to change it.

Why after maket diff? What's wrong with the vspec one?

Since putting the Quiafe up the front, the rear is single pegging sometimes. Having so much more grip up the front must be throwing the standard computers into "f**ked if i know whats going on, so i'm just gonna single peg".

Right I understand. I'm assuming quiafe does manufacture a matching rear diff now?

They do. It got released about March. It was a toss up between that or the Nismo. I went the Nismo.

Nissan seem to love randomly swapping between bolt patterns on those shafts

Its farken stupid. Nissan give you new flanges in the box. Whats the point when they dont line up with my original shafts? ARGH!

Diff is in, clunk clunk, bang, clunk, clunk. Sounds mad :D! Did a whole heap of figure 8's and by the time i got home it's starting to settle down a tad which surprised me. BUT, now my 4WD aint working! What have we missed?

Would getting a matching quaife rear diff have been any easier in hindsight, or would you have always had the issue being that you had v-spec to start with?

Negative. Still need the non homo spec rear housing and shafts. Ill give it a bleed over the weekend.

Stupid v spec. Everything that originally made my car one is now gone apart from the quicker ATTESSA computer.

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
