Welcome aboard - all of these issues have been dealt with here at some stage or another, so a search will answer all of your questions. Some of these topics have even been covered in the past two weeks!

welcome mate, like the boy's have said search any topic on stageas and you will find it's been covered to death, forget about your nav system, synchro mode when on transfers 50% of drive to front and rear wheels for whipping v8's at lights :) when off the road and drive conditions are detected by various sensors and the front wheel drive force will change from a 0:100 ratio(rear weheel drive) to 50:50 (4wd) depending on conditions.....no 4 wheel steering, and your a bit unlucky with the turbo (gcg hi-low unless you can afford a t/kit) what happenned there up the boost to much ?

goodluck.

What makes you suspect you have blown the turbo?

I recently thought I had "blown" mine but it turned out to be a loose hose at the inlet to the turbo.

Do you have a boost gauge? If so put on hand brake, put in drive, put on foot brake , then rev till you cansee boost coming on. Listen to hear any difference to the sounds the engine/turbo make.

If you think then it is the turbo you are in for a reasonably difficult job to replace it, but dont rule out a leak in the plumbing.

Check all the hose clips for tightness before undoing them. Chech you mannifold for broken studs. RB engines are a wee bit notorious for this. I had four broken studs, including the two I broke when dismantling, so I had exhaust leaks at three poihts on the mannifold. I also found a crack in the mannifold across where the turbo bolts on. Check turbo for end and side play.

A local guy was able to remove the broken studs without taking the head off. Search the Yellow Pages for someone who can do this. Ask the Sydney members for assistance, dont forget the Skyline forum, there are plenty of guys there to help you.

Just as a matter of interest for all, this is what it cost.....

OEM gaskets, studs and nuts.......................................$247.00

Second hand exhaust mannifold................................... 50.00

stock turbo.............................................. 450.00

Stud extraction............................................................100.00

Od bits and pieces, a new spanner etc...........................100.00

TOTAL$947.00

Oh yes, a large box of Bandaids. You will need them.

One other thing, I did the conversion on the intake pipe. Actually two, next time I take the turbo out I will go braided hoses for both oil and water.

The Stagea feels so much better now.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.

      Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno.

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser.

      Asking where to source parts

      By winc · Posted

      Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.

      Oh dear. That's um. There's like. Um. a lot of bare wires there. Take the whole thing out. Something is very very shorted somewhere. IT IS NOT CAUSED BY THAT "RELAY" (assuming it is a relay).
