looks like proengines have these on ebay now. go to ebay.com.au and search for RB26 or RB26dett and you'll see it.

Hi Guys,

Has anyone got any advice/pictures on how to do the fitting to the block for the rear Turbo Drain? Looking at it today its a bit of a pain. It it very close to a bolt which goes through the sump adaptor ans into the sump. This bolt has to be ground down on one side to get at the fitting properly.. On top of that, if the fitting protrudes too far its going to foul on the axle casting... (hope you are following me here...) :)

The front turbo I am draining to a dash 8 fitting on top of the wing of the sump.. so that's no prob..

Anyone got any info or pics of how they have done this with twin low mounts?

Cheers!

for mine i just took out the std fitting in the block, went down to pirtek and got a t-piece. I then put that in the block and ran rubber hose from each drain to the t, easy! (hose has heat wrap on it too)

the motors in the car atm, but ill see if i can get some pics

Really?? I don't know how you got it in there... we (my mechanic and I) were looking at it and figure we have to get the bolt that holds the sump on in there first, and then you can 'turn' and right angle or t-piece as it will run into the edge of the sump etc.. but heh, obviously you've done it. If you can get a picture of it (although I imagine that would be a pain in the as$.) then I'd love to see it..

Have you run it yet Shane? I was going to run a t-piece but a few people have suggested running them separately "just in case"...

How do those N1's spool up!?

hi matt, like shane i have a t piece into the block. there is no way I could get mine off without moving the sump as it has a buffalo horn layout ie the ends on the t piece are quite long, and it would hit the driveshaft flange. it clears the block easily as it sits out a bit so we put the sump on after fitting the t piece. my t piece is fabricated from tubing, i did not use a pirtek piece as i'm not as flashy as shane :)

Haha! Thanks guys. hmm.. you've thrown an extra variable in there now Scooby... I not only have to come up with a solution, but it has to be flashier than ShaneF's!!! :thumbsup:

Cheers for the feedback (and photo especially) - at least it confirmed that the sump had to be off to get the fitting in there... was wondering if there was a secret fitting I didn't know about that was perfect for the job.

I was thinking of taking the existing plug, welding a dash 8 fitting to it and then drilling it through the centre, that way I'd probably be able to fit and remove it with sump on. But once its in there - I doubt I'll really ever need to take it off anyway.. so off I go to Pirtek I think!

Cheers guys!

hmm actually having another look at the photo, your block looks a little different to mine Shane.. Series 1 and 2 perhaps? (I don't know the differences)

Mine has fittings just next to the drain where I need to put a bolt through. And this is the other prob I have, the bolt can't be turned and tightened up with the fitting in place! The head of the bolt has to be ground off - and then the fitting put it... which of course means the sump must already be on...

Excuse the phone photo - but this might show what I am talking about..

No idea what them 2 nuts are for mate :thumbsup:

Side note: The hose you'll need for the turbo drain will have to be VERY flexible, ull also need some heatshield stuff caus it comes awefully close to the dumps :bunny:

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
