Well...

I just bolted my stainless manifold onto my rb24DET then bolted my Garrett T04Z ontop of that... But I don't know if its going to fit under the bonnet?

What do you think?

I don't have an engine in the car at the moment or a bonnet on it to measure it, but from the top side of the hole in the engine mount to the top of the turbo is 470mm or 47cm's

Advice Please....

Jeez that thing is sitting high. It looks about 3 quarters of the turbo is above the rocker covers.

I have a photo of my 42R which sits about halfway to my rocker covers and it just fits under the bonnet although I had to grind down part of the knob on the front cover and a 26/30 sits a bit higher.

I think you will find judging against mine that it just fits but will sit against the underbonnet heat shielding.

Hopefully it will fit, the botten is a Fibreglass job so will definetly have to put a deanie on the turbo and some sort of heat proofing on the underside of the bonnet, where do i get that "flame guard" tape from? or wrap?

I won't be cutting any holes in the bonnet, Can somsone measure the distance from the bolt in the passenger side engine mount to the under side of the bonnet if possible?

Out of curiousity whats the legalities of having the turbo half way through the bonnet lol

yes it's illegal to cut a hole in the bonnet, it's illegal to have something sticking up through the bonnet and it's even illegal to have something like that right up close, or even hard against the bonet. there is supposed to be empty space between bonnet and anything hard so that when you drill a pedestrian at 50kmh and they land on your bonnet, the bonnet can crumple before it hits anything hard. could be tough to get around these things.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
