5thgenluder Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 So as some of you may remember I had a leak in my brake master cylinder. Well I tried to dig in a bit deeper today. So there are 2 caps on the cylinder. Under the 1st cap everything was good. Under the 2nd the brake fluid has turned to sludge. My guess is that it froze then expanded breaking the gasket. My thinking is I need to remove the cylinder flush the lines replace gaskets and seals and bleed the system. Any thoughts or inputs? Am I going about this wrong?

5thgenluder Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Well I ordered a refurbished master cylinder. Flushed the lines and am awaiting the new master to reinstall and bleed. Got the dash mostly done. Cleaned up most of the wiring. I'm gonna have to make some pretty creative kick panels to conceal them. should be getting my camera back tomorrow. Hope to have some pictures up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgenluder Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 Got the new master cylinder installed. Bleed brakes and they are working great. Filled the tank with 5 gallons of gas and tested the fuel system. Flowed great with about 20 psi. One small leak on one of the hard line flairs. Gonna be a pita to fix that one.

5thgenluder Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Reflared and repaired. I'm ready for the motor. Pics to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgenluder Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Looks like I will be doing the install myself. I guess that means this forum will have a step by step install guide. I should be picking up the motor Friday or Monday. Gotta find a truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Glad to see your making progress. Looks good so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgenluder Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Still waiting on this darn motor. I really want to get this project moving. At this point the whole summer is wasted. Hopefully I can get it done before snow so I can move it to it's new home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgenluder Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Anyone know where I can get the o-ring for the crank sensor on the rb25det part # n2213158s10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sileightygx Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Possibly Performance Nissan or Raw Brokerage. They do not list on site, but I bet one of the two could order it for you. Always had good luck with them looking for OEM stuff. http://mynismo.com/ http://rawbrokerage.com/RB25DET_c15.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat1 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Anyone know where I can get the o-ring for the crank sensor on the rb25det part # n2213158s10? lt's the same oring found on the z32's (1990-1996 300zx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be picking up the motor Friday or Monday. Gotta find a truck. From what i know, you need around 43 psi to run the rb25det. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgenluder Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 43psi fuel pressure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David GArcia Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 43psi fuel pressure? yes 43 psi fuel pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackwidow Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 If you are referring to the 20 psi quoted earlier, it should raise to what's needed when it has the pressure regulator in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgenluder Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Yes I haven't adjusted anything. Just testing the lines for leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David GArcia Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Yes I haven't adjusted anything. Just testing the lines for leaks. Oh now i get why you had 20 psi, it was because you bypassed the fuel rail in order to test leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgenluder Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Well after months of waiting and a long story I won't get into my motor should finally be here today. I'm hoping to have this thing running by Halloween. I will start documenting and updating tonight as soon as I get it. 1st thing I've got to do is change the timing belt, idler pulley, and tensioner. Then swap the clutch with the new one. Change the intake manifold, and move the dipstick. Hope to get that all done by weds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
