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.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

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

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
