Bryce it's only used for sealing the actual butterfly inside the throttle body.

IF you haven't cleaned the stock stuff off then you have nothing to worry about.

You would think the workshops around here would have something they use.

I texted my mate at Toyota and he is going to check for me.

If I can't find anything then I might just bite the bullet and order some of the stuff.

kasko you should try some Hylomar, was recommended to me by scotty for sealing off my plenum and its worked so far, so for your throttle body it would be worth the $14 to try.. comes in a bottle or spray

Started up the car on Monday and it had a rough idle.

Gave it a little rev and it stalled.

Been trying to diagnose the issue for the past 2 nights.

After checking fuel & spark I finally got to checking comp

Haven't done it at all

Owned the car for 45,000km

And I'm not sure when the previous guy did it.

I guess I should have checked it and done it when I first purchased the car. As you know I have had both power steering and fan belt snap.

Yep i recall :P

Maybe check the timing and condition on it first by just taking the top cover off....

The fact all cylinders are down indicates something dodgy going on...

Everyone seems to think the engine could still possibly be okay. I always fear the worst in these situations.

I'll take the cover off tonight if its easy enough to get to. Should only be a few bolts right?

Yeah its easy enough man!

And at the end of the day, who cares if its the engine? Its a standard RB, its not the end of the world :) Look at the positives hehe

Not worried about the cost of a new engine.

More worried about the labour costs to pull out and fit a new engine.

      My thermostat had no gasket?

      By silviaz · Posted

      That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️

      Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Thought I’d post pics of the packages for those interested. The premium package is #16. Remote start, security with tilt sensor and remote and backup battery, auto fold mirrors and door illumination.    Can post up pics of all the factory options and images from the factory options brochure if people are interested. I have all the dealer books etc for all rv37 models.
