hey guys have a high mount t04e turbo kit on my r32 at the moment and not really liking the risk of running it. i was just wondering if i could use the same turbo but change the maniofold to a low mount and maybe change the plumbing and front pipe perhaps? is this possible because i'm happy with the turbo but just don't like the whole highmount turbo saying hello to you when you open up the hood.

If so how much do they go for and where could i get one to suit my t04e turbo?

thanks again people

IMO the cost of doing this, it would be simple to just sell it all. Mainfold + Turbo + Dump and get stock twin mainfold and new twin low mount turbos 320hp + second hand dumps such as tomie style big bell mouth and you car will be much more responsive vitually no lag.

Thats assuming he has a GTR. But to go low mount you will need a new manifold,new dump might get away with using the lines you have,maybe a new intake depending how you have it setup.

And then there is the question can you fit a T04 under there?

yeh just got a gtst. yeh i guess the cost and fiddling around would be a massive hassle plus yeh not sure if it can go low mount so i guess it would be just to sell it off and get the stock setup going? what bigger turbos do you guys know will fit low mount under there?

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.

      Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds

      Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.

      Wheel refurb?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
