before my turbo gets here i want to get all of my fittings ready so it all goes on at once. just a little warning:

DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARENT CONFIDENT. for a small fee Aaron from Sliding Performance can do all of these mods for you.

i took my turbo off a few days ago so i had all of the fittings laying around so i thought i'd start getting things ready.

i went to pirtek to get new washers which coast $25 for all new copper ones, and got some 6mm drill bits as well as some new circlips rings for the wastegate actuator (old ones looked a bit crappy), i got some 4mm and 5mm ones as i wasnt too sure which ones would work.

so i got to the banjo bolts:

the best thing to do would be to get them into a vice under a bench drill to get a 100% straight hole. if you've got access to something like this then go for it.

i didnt have access to one so i had to make do with what a vice grip and a steady hand.

this is how i held the bolt in the vice grip: (all pics were taken off camera phone)

make sure you're drilling is as straight. it shouldnt be too hard as the old hole should work as a countersink to get you started.

this is what the difference is:

the end result - two perfect 6mm holes:

so far thats all ive done, ive opted to have my oil line modified by Aaron but i might give it a go if i get bored.

dont forget the hard line too. thats if ya using it

yeah im getting Aaron to do that for me, or if i can find a place to do the brazing ill do it myself.

$25 for washers?

i got 8 all together @ $2.80 each which is around $22. i had to be somewhere so i didnt have time to cry over the price.

Good stuff Joe, whens the turbo get in? And which one did you pick?

I'm planning to get one for the R34 later on so would be interested to see the results you pull off.

im not too sure when it'll be here mate, but my old turbo was letting off a fair bit of oil so i took it off the road to be safe.

well i got bored so i thought i'd modify the oil line. you only need to modify the banjo fitting that sits on the motor, which on the oil line is the one closest to the loop.

i put the banjo fitting into a vice then centre punched it.

i got the 6mm drill bit out again and started drilling, making sure that it went straight down. im going to go around on monday or tuesday and try to find someone to braze it. ill find out how much it costs and report back.

a few pics.

i went and dropped off my oil line to get brazed.

apparently you need a brass plug to sit inside the 6mm hole, then braze around that so the braze has something to adhere to. its costing me $40 from an engineering workshop, theyre brazing and cleaning it all up for me to be ready to be bolted up.

i probably could've gotten it cheaper somewhere else but i wanted it done properly as im very pedantic when it comes to my car.

righteo.. ive got some pics of the end result.

seems though the oil lines arent copper. the guy i sent it to couldnt get braze to stick and thought it might be steel so he welded it as if he was welding to stainless steel, and it also isnt a copperey colour after he cleaned it up.. as you can see, it looks like stainless steel.

When i got my SlidingPerformance High-Flow, i was lucky to have a mate who works in an engineering shop, with lots of high-tech tools. He took it to work and i think used a TIG welder to fill the hole. I would recommend this technique to fill the hole, i remember brazing from highschool days and believe TIG would be HEAPS stronger. (looks like yours has been welded too)

Car is a R33 GTST. It has the Slide max oversize hi-flow with the VG30 rear on it.

The tuner was quite impressed with the results and the way the turb's performed

as he said by as early as 2200rpm it was at 5psi and by 3500 rpm it's at full boost

which in this case was set at 17psi.

nice figures mate! ofcorse i dont mind :P

thats the exact turbo ive ordered.

what supporting mods do you have?

Other mods are. Power Fc, FMIC, full exhaust, Nismo reg, Bosch 040, Z32 AFM and using

a turbotech boost controller which holds boost very well at that level. ;)

Oh and upgraded the clutch to a Exedy cushion button.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
