hi guys

i recently just put an r33 turbo into my r32

but now its overheating, and im assuming its because of the coolant lines that go into the turbo,

i noticed that the bolt have a special hole in the middle to feed the coolant down into the turbo,

my guess is that its not lined up properly.

how do u know if its lined up properly?

cheers any help is much appreciated.

The bolt is a banjo bolt and the coolant feeds from the line into the holes in the side of the bolt.

There are galleries to feed it through so you will have have coolant going through there.

So your engine is overheating not your turbo?

It may be that you have a coolant leak? check levels

Was the coolant bled properly?

thanks guys so theres no way that the hole in the banjo bolt can be blocked if facing in any direction,

i just bleed the system,

seems to run alright not overheating like last night but the tempreture reads weird.

goes from 80-90 down to 60-70, like jumps up and down

thanks for the comments guys

You may need to bleed it again, It can take a few goes, did you end up dumping the

radiator aswell, If not there might be an air pocket waiting to get out, but usually it does not take

to long to surface, Failing that if you keep getting,radical temp changes, I would be looking at the thermostat.

Cheers :)

Yeah, the banjo bolt does not need to line up with anything, just install it.

It sounds like you have an air pocket in the coolant system. Did you bleed the system via the 10mm bolt in the plenum? Its the highest point in the coolant system, so the air will escape here when bled properly. This is an important process as differential heating of the head can lead to cracking or warping of the head.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
