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.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
