I don't mean to be rude, but it's kinda simple really.

Can't afford to maintain a car, don't modify it. Can't do the work yourself, you have to pay for it. Can't afford to pay for it, don't modify it, maintain it. Can't afford to maintain it........

Vicious cycle really.

What they all said... :no:

Thats a cheap fair price dont be tight...

Best thing i can suggest which is cheaper than Re Customs is call Nissan Australia im sure they will be happy to help you out...

For a fair price.

Farkk man i was told mechanics are negotiable, i didnt know how much it cost for a turbo swap so seriously how was i supposed to know that was a good price? I dont really care if it cost me $500 i wouldve paid it ive got the money i was just saying... talk about going overboard.. banning for that? pfft

Banjo fitting on the left, Banjo bolt that goes through it on the right

HIS Hose can do the fittings for you.

If you look through the forums (probably the general mechanical section or whatever it is), you'll find heaps of info on doing it yourself, but if you have no idea what you're doing, then probably just easier to get Ray at RE to do it for you :P

Woah, joke relax :)

lol my bad wasnt sure if u were joking on not :cheers:

Ahhh yeah that would be it.. Yeah really i'd do it myself even if it took 2 days but thats if i knew how to do it... I only got my skyline about 4 months ago and havent done much when it comes to mechanical work so im still learning everything as i go.. Hopefully in the future ill be more confident and know what things are and do it myself =] but until then i'll be going to RE lol

Yeah I don't personally think a turbo is something you want to attempt with little experience, before I had my Skylines I was kinda the same and I did things like oil coolers and intercoolers but a turbo is pretty serious stuff, don't want it going bang and it's a bit of a bitch of a job for a n00b :cheers:

Sounds good sounds good =] $550 (extra $200 for the water lines/banjo fitments) .. cant wait to get some power man stock car driving me crazy its so slow

Have you done the basics, before turbo?

- ecu

- fmic

- fuel pump

- etc

If not scrap the turbo idea and do the above first, these will unleash the full potential of your current setup and for the turbo upgrade later. Without doing the above, you'll be VERY limited in the power increase.

PS: Hope you're not buying some cheap shit China turbo or a truck turbo :P

That would be a waste of your money and Ray's time.

    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head. (me)
    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
    • Oh nah, S55 doesn't eat bearings, just the crank hub slips lol.
    • When’s the tow ball on the 33 coming? 🙃
    • I welcome any basic question that can help haha. Yes it has 2 unis but the driveshaft is a one piece and the unis are welded without a slip yoke at each end.   What's funny is anytime I've ever had wheel vibrations it's always been in the front so I automatically assume it will lead to steering wheel shake and not chassis vibration. With that being said, I never considered looking at my rear wheel balance... I have doubts though as this wasn't an issue before I pulled the motor and trans but is still very much worth a look. I'll do that tonight after work. Thanks.
