S13 Sprint/Time Attack Style Build

[No Crust Racing]

Not seized, just tight.

My dad had it off last month to replace the front main, missed the oil pump seal was leaking also.

He did it back to spec, almost 420Nm, no Loctite. That's over 300 ft lbs, my basic torque wrench only goes to 150.

It's just a tight bolt as it holds the oil pump and ps pump on the crank. No keyways for those.

Service manual has a special tool set for this job, with a pulley holder that has a handle well over 1m long and requires 3/4" breaker for the bolt itself.

Tight!

odd if it has been off recently....rb26 balancer bolt is 446-466nm according to factory manual and they get undone OK

[No Crust Racing]

Interesting, I got the GTR one off easily with my tools.

 

I suspect my old man may have used dad strength...

Oxy/acetylene it's mum and then try again with a breaker bar

[No Crust Racing]

I do have a couple little disposable butane bottles in the shed, the ones you swap the head piece from one to the next. Left over from removing subframe bushes lol

Will need to remove clutch fan either way, which is also a shit free spinning pulley.

That's a job for the new year as I'm off to QLD this Friday.

Start car then put breaker bar on.

[No Crust Racing]

lol, I'll give it a shot.

Next post

"So guys, I'm posting from the hospital, things didn't quite go to plan. The bolt is still there, which is more than I can say for half the bones in my hand"

I'll just get a bigger bar, it'll be right.

You need one of these in your life for a few minutes.

[No Crust Racing]

That would mean removing the radiator. 

I have already had to f**k around enough lol

It's a notorious bolt in Toyota land, people using all sorts of weird setups and tools.

Make hole in radiator for access [emoji6]

[No Crust Racing]

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

2JZ swap

[No Crust Racing]

You supply and fit and I'll allow it.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

I no longer do spannering work for others, only tuning 

I can tune if @admS15 fits it lol. 

[No Crust Racing]

Merry Christmas to me!

At the risk of actually helping one of these looks pretty handy. I haven’t had to use one because I am strong and can do it with my fingers.

You know what? I was wrong. 

You guys are incredibly helpful lol 

No progress on Silvia either, new house and changes at work eating up/costing me money. Need to put a stack away to ship the gear off so I at least have a long block built. 

I was having yet another flip flop moment with it all the other day, do I just sell all that SR gear, refresh the CA, cams turbo (the shit i sold....) and just keep driving it? But I'll just continue with the SR swap, knowing it will take a while to get it all done but that it should last a good while and have more than enough power for my abilities. 

Yes, I'm aware how painfully indecisive I can be, thanks lol Spare a thought for my missus. "Don't you dare sell all that stuff, just build the damn thing and drive it".
