I'll get my mechanic mate to do most of it as he's knows more about doing it then me. Price I don't really know. Maybe ask boostworx how much they charge and we will beat it. Only thing we can't do is the tune lol

speak more about it when I see u next.

which reminds me lukey.....my turbo needs to go on soon as well....so let me know of the costs involved :)

lol, dude, diy. only reason mine took so long is im f**king lazy.
Yep, easy on a single turbo car, GTR on the other hand = PITA!

If you want Krishy, I can lend a hand

Does it need to be on a hoist??? if so then i can organise a time to borrow luke's hoist and that way there will be 3 or 4 or 5 of us trying to get it done lol.....i am very mechy challenged when it comes to things like this....will let you know when the pipes are all made luke

That should be fine if u guys wanna do that. Best if it's a Saturday arvo through to a sunday if u like.

Just let me know when.

once the pipes get made then we can sort something out

lol dude. mine was done on the floor of my garage with a 50 buck jack, and 40 bucks worth of stands.

hoist would make it marginally easier, but its not necessary.

yeah that plus i got no tools.....so makes life a whole lot easier

youd be about the only skyline owner i know without a took kit. :banana:

just need a simple socket set, couple spanners, and maybe a breaker bar.

speaking of hoists though, might make my engine mount replacement a whole lot easier...

yeah I did my turbo changeover on jack stands .... actually can make it a bit easier to get those damn fiddly banjo bolts lined up when you sit under the car and jam yourself whilst contorted into the position you need to be. But yes, I still think overall a hoist would be much easier.

Yeah and +1 to wtf on no tools .... how can you own one of these forever being modded and breaking down pos's without a huge box of tools? :banana:

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
