If the dizzy vacuum advance diaphragm has gone kaput, it will affect the smooth ignition.

I take all of the recovery gear out for normal use as well. It makes a big difference, especially having to turn out onto our road. It gets to be a bit of squeak time with log trucks bowling down the...

Its hard to say, there is that and as you've written, running the larger tyres as well, will put a lot of pressure on the drive train. Remember sticking your hand out the window as a kid. There was...

So now its onto some 12v..
Battery and basic setup done.
Got a few chargers in, 12v lights now in roof and going to mount pump in...

Hey mate,

Looking at the pictures your auto choke seems to be working fine.
You can turn the auto choke anti clock wise a little bit during winter, but probably not necessary.

But, I can't...

When I had my new alternator fitted I had them fit a new alternator belt, was making a noise but has now stopped completely. Used to happen at start-up but would go away after a while.

Hey Guys,

For those of you who's looking to buy the above unit, it's available on ebay now.

Thanx mate.
I remember you wrote before about the improvement you got from rebuilding the carby.
I, on the other hand, have been as adamant as ever and been "fiddling" on my own and when the...

The noise is a chunky whine in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. I think it is there in 5th, but as the car is noisy it is hard to tell. Fourth is quiet

The bloke who has possession of the box is in the middle of retiring / clearing out his workshop and setting up at home, so it may be a few months. He test drove my Q and said it should be ok for a...

It was just a fact finding exercise. There is a small chance I maybe able to rebuild the box I have, with the upgraded components.

I have got onto 360 Gearboxes in Bayswater, and they informed me that the RD28T and RB30 boxes are the the same, except for the selector inputs.

I asked if there were any upgrades that they do and...

RB30 Patrol Coolant flow diagram(s)

These are the diagram(s) of RB30 Patrol coolant flow. The second one is taken out of R31 Skyline(RB30 engine) coolant flow diagram and slightly modified to suit...

There's two ways I think it could be done. Split the neck 20mm off to the side of the Pre-heat flap and weld in a strip top and bottom, or add a hose from the plastic pipe to the side of the filter...

The best mods I have made are taking the heater grid from under the carby, blocking the stove pipe diaphragm (in the warmer months, for long trips and water crossings) and fitting headers. The engine...

The other thing is hill descent. If you aren't on the brakes the engine runs away, which is a bit dangerous.

This is the second gearbox to stuff up so I am looking to upgrade if I can. I was told that there is an adaptor plate for the RB30 to the auto that the TB42 uses, but how you would fit a clutch is...

Hey guys.

Appologies to the OP of my .gif seems a bit off. This topic is soooo over done. Soon enough mate you will learn to accept and move on.

This thread has to be my top favorite dummy spits over the...

Thrust bearing?? Can't think of anything else that only operates when the clutch is pressed. Sounds like it will either get better or worse before you can locate what it is, so cancelling your trip...

These are the photos after full rebuild of the alternator. It wasn't worth my money or my time.

But, I learnt a valuable lesson about my stupidity of not checking things properly while I am half...

This is what i had to go through after buying the EF Falcon alternator without knowing too much about the details of the transmission oil damage that some of them come with.

I had to spend two...
