The banjo fitting isn't out though... it's still stuck on the coolant line - it's a one piece banjo + line fitting. We've just been to Enzed to get some new banjo bolts, they seem to do the trick at the moment (going on a lot easier and not bottoming out on turbo) We've also got some thicker washers from there, the ones we used last night were wafer thin so that may explain some of the issues. Couldn't find the hose barb I mentioned before, so I hope this is the solution. Bloody expensive banjo bolts I tell you

OK spark of genuis went through my mind as I was sifting through some parts in my garage. Stumbled upon a "press on hose fitting" or "hose barb" with a thread on it. We are thinking of chopping the banjo fitting off all together, getting 2 barbs to fit exactly onto the new turbo and using some high pressure hoses to seal the coolant into the new barbs. Will this work?

It's a custom hi-flow system... The housings are the same as the stock turbo, but the "middle section" is completely different ot the old turbo. Hence the different bolts. Thanks S

Thanks for the advice guys... I think the bolt is too long because in comparison to the original's thread it is a bit longer. Well we're going to see if we can sort it out - if not we're kinda fuxored!

Yeah copper fittings in between everything like you have put... I'm pretty sure it's coming out from the bit that is closest to the turbo and not the banjo. That is Bolt; washer; banjo; washer; (leak is here); turbo I only say this as there is an obvious difference in the bolt at this point when compared to the stock bolt. Also, there looks to be a gap. Looks like hte banjo washer isn't even sitting flush with the turbo. Maybe a couple of smaller reducing washers to make it sit flush/ Bolt; washer; banjo; washer x 3 (or one fat one); turbo?

The bolts go into the turbo, but definitely not easily close to the bottom of the thread. The leak is a drippage on one side, and a total mess on the other... so I think one side is OK and the other will need some serious gear to get going. I am thinking that Enzed might be able to sort something out... Chris, what about getting a few washers in there or even on thick one?

Hi Just installed a new turbo tonight and went to try the coolant to see if there were any leaks. What do you know, the thing pisses the green stuff out like you're at the movies. We've brought it down to the bolts going through the banjo fitting and into the turbo are completely different to what they are supposed to be. Threads are different resulting in a "gap" that lets the coolant out. We've tried 1 set of copper washers, and we've even tried 2 sets of copper washers. No good! Has anyone got ideas for a VERY VERY quick fix... I need the car ready for a wedding on Saturday so i'll be willing to try any option so long as it works. Stan

I've got one for sale if you want it... PM me your offer

Thanks for the confirmations guys... I wouldn't have known that to save my ass

I don't know a lot about the turbos, but I havre read that the 34 turbos are larger (housings) which make them the ideal turbos to hi-flow. Had a few offers, only one or two who are actually genuine... please do not send me PMs with stupid offers. Thanks Stan

Forgot to add that the turbo was removed with 40,000km on it...

Ya, what he said

Yes; I'd like to see these on the R34GTT dash and tri-gauge lot... photo without the lights on, and a photo with the lights on. The only concern I have is the backlighting and how this would affect it. Other than that I am very keen Thank you for organizing this btw!

I have all my work done at my mate's workshop in Brookvale. He has done absolutely ALL the work on it thus far and there have been zero issues whatsoever! If you are keen to get quality work and not get ripped off, send me a PM and I'll give you some details. Should you want some examples of our work, please visit my site. (link below signature)

I will have an R34 RB25DET turbo for sale by the weekend.

The DC cooler is the Davies Craig cooler... it's a massive upgrade over the standard cooler, well worth the money in my opinion now If you're after the stock cooler though, PM me your offer

Why do you want to buy a stock transmission cooler? I just did the Davies Craig upgrade and have the stock R34 cooler available. I don't know if I want to sell it though, could come in handy somewhere else from what I've been told Just get the DC Cooler, it's well worth your money

It must be said, E_Lu-SHuN's photos are absolutely AWESOME! Thanks for the rolling shots of my car too

Yeah it was all good on the way home thanks to you Chris Still wanted to double check everything once we were home. After you fixed it, it boosted like normal - no more lag until 3000rpm

Eric, Will, Rance n I headed over the Mascot way for some car cleaning and DIY maintenance... just double checking everything was back on the car correctly I'm still thinking that I shouldn't have drove that day - DAMN YOU ERIC for not calling me the night before <_<

Links come on MSN, need to ask you something... Also, whoever took that shot of my car's ass at the traffic lights... TOP WORK! Question is how did you get the camera so damn high

LOL; maybe it's time to give the 34 a break an spend a grand just on an RC car... you never know, it could end up going faster than the 34

I don't think SAU generally condones this type of behaviour but I think it's a special case; thosewhopikedpaysteveorban Nah, as Adam said before - Steve should not be outta pocket for this - the fact that he was there in the Super Tanker should've been convincing enough

Randy; there is a place down in Brookvale on weekends which is completely deserted... Nice smooth place if I remember correctly
