Ok. Thing is, its all still shimmed as it was before and nothing much has changed, just all new seals and bearings. Will it need to be re-shimmed? I was hoping just to check the teeth contact areas and if they were still ok to put it back together like that. Another thing, I didnt mark the pinion companion flange before removing it from the pinion shaft. Later i realised i should have, however it doesnt mention to do that in the manual and it normally would if at all necessary. Do you think it needs to be in a special way? Its not a master spline so there is many different ways it can be put it. What do i do?

Im getting a pair of Garrett 707160-5005 turbos this week coming! That will be exciting. This weekend i purchased a 2nd hand Trust oil cooler and filter relocator locally in Brisbane off 17SOK. Thanks to him for that. I need some help with the proper mounting of the core. Im not sure where exactly its meant to go behind the right hand duct. Ive got one friend getting me pics but if anyone else has one setup like that id appreciate a few more pics.

Turbos should have arrived by now?

I like reading the updates in this thread ;)

Hey mate!

Turbos arrived a couple of days ago. I ended up buying them off Chris Whittaker at MTQ Salibury here in Brisbane. I throughly recommend giving him a call if you need to purchase some new turbos as he was excellent to deal with and gave me by far the cheapest price! :(

I have added some new pics of the turbos including new vs old. Shows the difference quite well.

Before i fit the new turbos i will need to save up (now broke) for the stainless CES long front/dump pipes i have had my eye on :D As i will need to fit the first section to the back of the turbines before mounting them to the manifolds etc. Not much has been done to my GTR as i have been getting my daily (shitter) ready for the road. Its a 87 mitsubishi magna TN. Its hard to believe that these two cars were designed in the same era! I guess one being worth over 100 grand and the other being a run of the mill family car would have something to do with it. Since i took the GTR off the road (2+ years) i have had no car to drive so it will be nice to have a car to run around in!

the 2 mounts on the left are using existing threads on the body

this mount goes to a hole behind the radiator overflow bottle u will need a screw, nut and washers.

mounted oil cooler.

cut hole for vent.

vent siliconed and rivited in place. though self tapping screws would be better as the rivets will stretch the plastic.

i made a duct out of template plastic. when finished make sure you cut at least 1-2cm back from the oil cooler. you

dont want it rubbing on it. i also used race tape to connect and hold either end. but the basic box is held together with self tappers.

What can i say, thanks heaps for the help dude! Im worried mine wont fit there like that cuz of the twin bov's that are there? I'll go take a look in a minute.

Many thanks,

Deren

have you seen the oil cooler install by blk33 in the diy thread!

Looking good Deren.

Have you thought of getting stainless manifolds and dumps?

There are horror stories about poor quality stuff but I bought the dumps from Ebay and did a little work to get them as I wanted (some finishing with the die grinder to get the transitions smoothed nicely and dress some welds), and the manifolds I got from a forum member cheap as they needed to be skimmed flat. Almost 18 months making 320rwkw with no dramas at all. No cracks or leaks. Most problems are with one piece single manifolds warping but less chance with 2 piece for twins.

The big difference has been the extra power came easy. Same boost, 14psi, and an extra 70rwkw using highflows. The boost comes on much faster as well. Soon to retune to 18 or 20 psi to see how it will go.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
