Has anyone here removed turbos from a GTR before??? i've removed turbos on other cars but never a GTR.... Is it hard... cause i figure i'd save myslef some coin on labour and take em out myself then drop em at the turbo place to get the seals done and put em back on.... I dont see the point in paying my mechanic to do it if he is sending them else where...

decided to wash the car today in an attempt to not be lazy and start getting it ready for kadina. still got a few small things to fix up(rear bar has to be bolted on a bit better, interior tidy up etc), but its looking alright so far.

haha, thats actually out the back, the front its bitumen too.

the place next door has a water allowance to wash cars( thus the reason you can see the hose going over the fence), but they dont use it because their cars get washed in murray bridge, so im alowed to :)

    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
