Hi,

Pulled my stock turbo off tonight (haha now have a non turbo R33) and have a few questions before i throw on the GT3037 Full R33 Bolt on Kit that was bought from JPS Trading.

1. Theres a water line that runs behind the back of the motor, how do you get to this to replace it with the braided line supplied in the kit?

2. There is no Gasket for Dump pipe? do i need one? or does it seal just by bolting it up?

3. What would this Grommit part be called and does anyone have a part number for it

4. Fittings (what goes onto what). Silver ones are ovbiously water lines, Smaller gold one top oil one

5. Anyone have any idea what the Black Bracket is for?

6. Gold Bracket, this looks like a heat shield that attaches through a clamp but have no idea what it is to protect?

7. Theres this Little Gold Pipe? no ideaas to what its for either.

8. Heat Shield, anyone know where on the turbo this mounts too? looks like some bolts i could unbolt however i dont like the idea of unbolting things out of the housings.

If anyone could give me a bit of insight (hopefully save me hours of scratching my head :blink:.. you guys/girls have been great so far!.

No offence, but can you read/look at instructions? i just installed mine a couple of weeks ago and it was simple, i done it all just by using the pictures in the instructions, no need to be able to read japanese, just look at the pictures, each picture will have the number of each part that is pictured, go back and refer to the parts list (has a part number beside each part) and then go from there, it is honestly very very easy, the only problem i had was rotating the compressor and exhaust housings so that the compressor housing wasnt touching the manifold and the oil drain was facing down towards the sump, it takes a bit of testing to get right.

Ill answer your questions anyway

1 = to get to the water feed remove the heater lines that run accross the top of the firewall next to the head, remove the coil pack cover, there is alsp 2 10mm bolts that hold the brackets for the stock line, you have to undo those ofcourse, then get a long nose pair of plies and undo the clip on the water line, the water line will then slide out.

2 = you dont need a gasket for the dump, everyone that i have read about hasnt used a gasket.

3 = not sure

4 = read the instuctions like i said above

5 = the black bracket is surpose to bolt to the afm and then bolt to the engine bay, it shows you in the pics, but mine didnt even fit which might have been because of the type of pod filter i am using, hks might of desgined it to be used with one of there "mushroom filters"

6 = yes that is a heat sheild, it is clamp on the little silicon joiners that connects the compressor outlet to the little cast turbo elbow which then connects to your intercooler piping, it is there to protect the silicon joiner from the heat of the ehxaust manifold as it sits very very close to it (mine is actually resting against the manifold).

7 = that is to join the left hand side cam covers breather pipe to the new pipe that is supplied in the kit which connects up to the smallest nipple on the intake pipe.

8 = that bolts to the turbo, the bracket with the slotted hole gets bolted up to one of the exhaust housing bolts that bolt that exhaust housing to the core of the turbo, the other bracket with just a hole in it slides over one of the dump pipe bolts on the back of the turbo, so fit the turbo and everything, and fit the dump pipe, then you will see were the heat sheild bolts up to, to be honest the bracket with the slotted hole is complete pain in the ass to get on, i would remove it and just use the bracket with the hole in it, and possbile make a different bracket for it, you will see once you get to fitting it how much of a pain it is!!

Hope that helps, sorry i had to rush that a bit as i got to get back to work lol, but if you have anymore questions feel free to send me a p.m.

Cheers

thanks for your help! however i was never supplied the instructions... (they wernt in the box).. hence the stupid questions.

Hey mate

Im just trying to scan my instrutctions for you, will hopefully be able to post them up soon, if they dont turn out great i wil try and get some decent pics of them.

Just finished scanning the instructions (thought i might aswell scan every page), they turned out pretty good, hopefully they are big enough to read, if you need them any bigger i can probly email them to you, or if you have msn messenger add me and i can send them to you that way ([email protected])

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
