On the dyno the other day I saw one of these chinese cooler kits also leaking at the cooler piping. It turns out the piping is not round where the silicon joiners go (in this instance it was at the drivers side intercooler piping to the cooler itself). Ended up zip-tying the extremity of the silicon after the clamp and worked wonders to hold 30 psi in the SR20.

Check for ovality.

i just found out i got a boost leak as well... and found a crack on my cooler piping.. i tried using duct tape to cover the crack to see if it helps.. but it didn't really made any difference..

does that mean i got another leak somewhere or is the duct tape leaking as well??

also anyone has a pic of r34 engine bay.. and circle all the areas that should be check for leaks?? as i'm not sure where all the vacuum hoses are.

i had a wieerd one happen to me on my 33, theres a hose that comes off your manifold that runs to the corner of your cross over pipe...my popped off at the manifold...was hard to find coz i could cruise and lightly accelerate and idle fine but once i needed boost it would push off slightly and leak, once i backed off it would suck back on.. bastard haha

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

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

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
