Hi, has anyone upgraded their turbo and have the old water and oil lines lying around? I desperately need these tonight or first thing tomorrow morning ..... I assume the R34 lines are the same too. Not sure about R32s, but if anyone knows that would be great too. I am happy to try anything at this point!

Thanks in advance!

yeah thanks heaps Darren for putting me onto Jason!!!

Thanks heaps Jason - they worked a treat! Put the standard turbo, dump and water/oil lines back in, in under 2 hours!

The car fired first time and didn't leak any oil. We had a small water leak due to a petrified/cracked original turbo water return hose (the nasty one that goes behind the engine) but other than that everything worked out awesomely. Thanks again!

If you need advice/help on custom oil/water lines PM Dangerman (Darren) and I am sure he will help you out. I hope your slide high-flow gets here soon!

David (brother-in-law) had someone rear-end his R33 and push him into another car Friday week ago and they have written it off.

So we spent all weekend pulling all his mods off and returning it to stock.

Since he had a Garrett 2530 the oil and water lines were not stock, so when I went to put the lines on the stock turbo I came up stumped (they hadn't kept the original lines when changing the turbo). So luckily Jason came to the rescue and sold me his stock lines.

I rang you today Matt, but it said your number is disconnected. I thought I saw your GTR in Norwood .... but didn't know you were back in town? But it had GTR wheels on it .... other than that was identical to yours!

Let me know how you go with the lines Jason, as I think I am going to get new ones made for the 2530 - the standard banjo bots and metal lines system seem a pretty crap system to me.

Good to hear it all came together in the end Andrew :domokun:

Sorry I didn't get back to you on Sun'. My humble apologies mate, I did ask Shaun on Sun' morning, but he forgot to check his spares pile - and I forgot to remind him. I owe you a beer!

no worries Matt, thanks for your help anyhow. I actually forgot to ring you/Shaun Sunday morning anyhow to say don't bother since I had sourced some from Jason. Ah well, it all worked out in the end, the car is now gone to the insurance mob to be auctioned (I might yet buy back the wreck for fun), and I have a 2530 64T sitting in my garage :)

So, I know that turbo isn't going on your car, but when IS it going on your car?

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
