Installing Hks Gt-rs Questions: Banjo Bolt Position, Copper Washers, Oil Drain Gasket..


Recommended Posts

I just took the car for a quick run, its sounding good, drives fine. Damn the induction is LOUD, I like it. :)

There was abit of smoke/steam still coming out of the engine bay and upon closer inspection its directly where the dump bolts up to the turbo. I think it may be the Ultrablue 77B thats burning up, I put it on the dumpside gasket cos thats what the guy at the exhaust shop told me to do. Said it was sensor safe and should be fine. :paranoid:

Man thermal wrapping is expensive, I just unpluged the line and relocated. Much to my surprise it wasn't much coolant pissing out at all so its not bad. Its just sitting on the same metal lines the oil feed is. I just realised I didn't attach the picture in the last post, Manwhore can you have a look at this and tell me if its okay for the lines to sitting on this pipe?

Hey Manwhore I would like to do it but I can't atm as the car doesn't have wheels with proper tyres on it. I'll shall be getting new wheels next week and I'll let you know then.

That line hitting the aircon pipe looks fine to me, just put a bit of plastic or rubber insulation around it just to be safe, by the way are you using the lines that came with the brand new gt-rs kit? or did you buy the gt-rs second hand and got lines custom made up?

awesome, let us knwo then.

If not much coolant came out, then that means you MIGHT have air in the system. If it was me, i'd bleed it. Even after I drained the radiator, when I undid the bajo, about 4-4.5 L came out.

nizmo, the lines are from the GT-RS kit, it was second hand but its what came with the kit originally.

Manwhore, its just resting against it. :) Like theres a natural bend in the line and that pipe stops it from doing its full bend, the coolant feed is sitting on that line as well though you can't see it in the picture.

I'll bleed the system, the amount of coolant that came out was probably wasn't much because as long as I was holding the braided line up it no more would come out until I bent the line lower allowing coolant to spill out.

The whole time the engine is running and rocking from side to side, the S/S line will rub thru the alloy a/c line

I will give it 1 week maybe 2 before your A/C stops working. Best to space it away or put a rubber sleeve on it

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
