how the hell did you manage to crack that banjo fitting?

lol I have no idea - was tight tight so maybe a pothole?

was all fine until trying to reach boost up expressway hill friday night, couldnt hold 0 psi without the car surging, turbo working on load and black oily smoke

so its split, oil is blowing thru the split onto the outside of the turbo (the leak i found) and forcing some excessive oil thru the exhaust turbine

so it ends up that the slide turbo is ok, but Ive ordered a new line set and a gt30

:dry:

went over the intercooler pipes and they are 100% perfect, good tight seals and wont leak on 1bar

gt3071r or a gt3076r

6-bolt nissan Rb exhaust housing

$2150 plus lines

getting that sort of deal thru ATS, gave them the $300 worth of gear Id paid for (ceramic ball bearing pack, turbine shaft td05h & 16g.comp.wheel, 2x dead cores and jamesrb25's front/rear housing)

they've take that as the bb-pack and wheels were bnib, credited, and building the GT30r for me with oil line & waterline adapter

2k

so, the turbo is ok to sell. best offer gets it :/

found another source - bongo, fmic pipe, original nissan ribbed black rubber pipe that sat in the chassis hole (in/out engine bay) was splitting

replacing and making good now

waiting on new oil line and GT30

then reinstalling

  • 2 weeks later...

awaiting the lovely missus to come back with an 18mm C spanner to finish off the braided lines

MASSIVE THANK YOU goes out to Adam (chef stagea) and Chris (kidafa) for offering to come over and help finish up.

Id arranged an mobile auto bloke to come out tomorrow for an hour or so, but Adam rang me and said he'd help out !

so I knuckled back down and got the turbo oil line on, did the manifold bolts up, got the block oil lead on tight and had a 15' C-spanner cut ready to access the turbo oil feed to tighten it up when the lads arrived.

quick iced coffee / woodstock & a chat and they got into it, wasnt much to be done and an hour later most was all good

dead battery and time constraints for the lads meant we couldnt start her up.

will tick the engine over in an hours time. check for oil/water and thats that

tune time, unless it needs some tightening or reworking, etc

so, cheers for Adam and Chris for their help. greatly appreciated. No knees means my hips and back take the load, and they're rooted atm.

big thankyou guys

where they driving 2 stag's the same colour? a rs4 and a 260?

if so i over took them on the express way this arvo, they were doing 80 in the hundred zone.

did you have a pic of the split cooler pipe?

how big was the split?

Yeah that would have been us in LAZY mode :D

No worries with helping out Brendan. How did it end up? Shoot me a pm with your number so I can save it.

nice

yeah darren the hole in the engine bay airbox area had cut a slice thru the black original silicone joiner, after 12yrs :)

cheers chris, will do. yeah the battery was dead, was charging till 9 last night then went around the block, dumped oil, didnt do up a bolt that holds the stock water line (i took off earlier) onto the block.

heading out right now to grab some more oil, just a small bottle.

then will test again

booked for 2 weeks time for a tune, on the little drive around the block it belt completely different to the other turbo. wow. anyways got2go.

ehhhh does that mean everything needs to come off?

need more hands?

cheers ! nah its all good. will get to it soon and take my time

will need to just take off the intake pipes (2+ turbo air pod feed pipes) and then will be at the bottom of the turbo to take off and replace the split oil return feed rubber line

no biggie, just a fair bit of oil pooling in my garage LOL

>_<

got my sons birthday bbq tomorrow, so will undo tonight and hoefully have replaced tomorrow night / sunday.

sigh*

:down:

Good to here Brendan.

Did the intake pipe mod yesterday arvo. Think it made the induction noise less which is weird thought it would be louder with a metal pipe in the intake but its good less attention :D

the turbo is pretty insane

2500rpm and its wanting to get into positive boost, 3000rpm and 10psi is up

3500rpm and 16psi is up

wow

set up the ebc for 13psi and 16psi

just want to be safe with the safc/sitc/remap and so far so good.

running really well and pulls significantly harder than what Id imagined it would.

yeah anytime !!

will be best to wait for next Thurs 21st, dyno tune day :P

;)

but yeah you know where I live c'mon over ;)

my guess is 220kilobums atm, so surely she'll crack 240kw on the dyno, 250kw perhaps if i bolt on the extra injectors/controller

damn tho, she's fine. time for a drive..... again.... :no:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
