Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8


Recommended Posts

chicken wing thing got me stumped , arm out the window ? Mate of mine just about lost his arm doing this in his VW 55 years ago , pissed :)

I thought it might be the same trannie , you blokes talked me into doing mine :)

They said my motor was finished and I have asked for a photo a couple of times, but nothing in 2 days, maybe bullshit , when they did anything they would send a photo without being asked , so ?

According to the motec datalogging, front diff damage was always done under brakes because the 4WD hadn't let go quick enough

Moral is, if doing hellies, don't stop :D

the good thing is Mick, this cannot happen to me because I do not know what hellies are, what are hellies , sounds like getting the front wheels in the air ?

Hope my Quaife is strong enough :/

That was just to make up my mind what I wanted... And save for it. Lol

I know I know. 20 large ain't gonna just come overnight

I would still have wacked in a temp box in the meantime and enjoy driving the car

I had one. XKLABA gave me one to whack in. However, the car is sitting at my mates old mans workshop getting minor stuff like side skirts and front bar repainted. Unfortunately nothing happens there very fast (been there almost 12 months soon). It's been that long that I almost forget that I own the thing. All good... Will be back on the road soon enough.

If your foot is off the throttle and you are braking why would it cause a problem, is it because they were not really built to be a 4WD in the first place ?

I forget the specifics but generally when you jam the brakes on hard trunk g into a corner after a full noise stint and the 4WD is still loaded up the two forces going different ways quite effectively removes the front diff housing, I have seen this happen a couple of times :(

Is this only if you modify the trannie or with a standard one ?

Sounds like it would go, BANG! :(

I doubt it would ever happen to me as I will not be putting it under those conditions, but would the Quaife front diff make any difference , better , worse or just the same ?

    • 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
