When upgrading my turbo last month i just unplugged the fuel pump fuse and kicked it over a few times.

All perfect.Drove the car off boost for a couple of days then put some boost into it. :P

just serching to find the answer to my question abut priming the turbo. I've cranked for about 30 seconds in total and still no oil at turbo inlet - should I just keep goig and see if it gets there. Anyone else hd this problem?

thanks

it will take at least 30 seconds to get oil pressure in a engine at cranking rpm that hasnt been started in a while, and at cranking speed the engine isnt doing anything near the rpm at idle so this will affect the time it takes the oil pump to get the oil moving. Just dont let it crank over for too long, cause its not the best thing for you starter motor to be under that sort of load for a long time. Give it 10-15seconds then stop, wait and try again. It will pump eventually.

would it be easy to just pour a little bit of fresh engine oil into the core before assembly? Surely you have some left, I buy the Shell Helix 5w40 and it only comes in 5l, and the Skyline only takes about 4.6l. Always a little bit left over.

lol just don't pour it into the water feed.

Also, make sure your horozontal feed is not dead flat, rotate the core so the feed is on and angle to prevent pockets of air sitting inside the core.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
