how does next sat work? i can come up in the morning and leave it with u as long as u need it!

and wat do u drink haha!

u dont know how much i apreciate it!!

thanks a million!

I drink Pale Ale :)

So you want the job done not this Sat coming but next Saturday?

I can do the job in about 2-3 hours depending on hassles (GF being one LOL) and if it is a direct bolt on, as I'd rather not have your car in my neighbourhood too long. But I do have a clublock and lockup carport anyway. Might even see if Grim would like to help out (he has more tools and doesn't drink LOL)

However, I'd like see the car and the turbo beforehand so I can eyeball the job and make sure it'll be straight forward-ish! LOL

Oh, and there is the usual disclaimer I say to all my mates: I wouldn't drive/joyride your car, but it is still stored at your own risk ... blah blah, you know how it goes :( (but I will endeavour to take measures to protect your ride - such as the club lock and staffie) :blink:

You going to Bunny's cruise/meet this Friday night? We can discuss then.

Has the turbo been off before?? If its stock, and has never been off you may want to check all your exhaust manifold studs into the block are still in place before you start from underneath the car, if you pull the turbo off and and you can see that one of the bolt heads is missing, ( i think there are 14), your budget might blow out a bit to fix it properly. Alot of people leave them broken and don't attempt to pull off the manifold but the proper way to do the job is to replace the broken stud, which usually turns out into more than 1 stud, and a manifold gasket because it will def be leaking and will eventually need to be done, so you dont want to have to pull the turbo back out at a later date. And make sure you don't drill through the head into the oil galleries, seen it done before by a 'professional' on site head stud removing specialist. Not saying its def. going to happen but be prepared with all the right tools otherwise your time frame may blow out (its may be difficult to source all the required parts on a weekend). I had no idea and was going to attempt it myself a couple of weekends ago, glad i just paid and got it professionally done. I had 4 broken studs up near no. 6 cyclinder with abs module in the way and bugger all room to get a right angle air drill with cobalt drill bits and a sharp centrepunch perfectly in the middle. Glad i didn't attempt it myself. Just a warning.

well selling sausages for more money for the club to do whatever it does with its money.

Are we still going ahead with the turbo swap tomorrow? Will you be dropping the car off in the morning?

PM me back, or see me tonight if you're on the cruise again, for my address.

cheers reuben!!!

much apreciated mate!!

No worries! I read in a nother thread you have a coolant leak?

I'll ask you not to drive the car until you can confirm where the leak is coming from, or (most importantly) where the coolant is going too.

Call me mid morning if you can't confirm where the leak is coming from.

I'd rather not see your car break down.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
