ok, i am new to this forum, i have been on boostcruising before but have been told this is the place to be for help on skylines :(

now, i am upgrading my turbo and manifold, and indeed whole engine bay, and i have a few questions, i live in a remote country town so i have no services at my disposal, nor can i just pop into the shops and grab a silicon hose so i am doing i t from scratch and online lol. and i have just bought a new high mount manifold, turbo, and wastegate, and i just wanna make sure i have it right before putting it together. although there is a boilermaker who can weld for me :(

firstly, on the external wastegate, its a 38mm, i dont know what psi the spring is loaded at, but there is the barb at the top, and a threaded hole at the bottom and i dont know what they are forr, see pic, so if you could tell me that would be great.

and second, on the exhaust side of the turbo, do i just get a gasket made up to suit the plate, and get an exhaust (dump pipe) made to fit??? and wtf is that little hole? it just goes right thru to the intake, my old dump pipe has 2 pips into 1, do i just do the same thing with this?????????

i guess the question is how do i connect the turbo to the exhaust? ((and there really is not much room behind the manifold down to the exhaust, how have people overcome this??))

or, i have found these on ebay, but they dont have the 2nd little hole, can i just block up the hole with the flange and gasket????

or do i need to have the smaller hole coming into the big pipe?

and 3rd, on the turbo itself, what is that little bolt at the end before where you connect the cooler piping? that little brass bolt?? what is supposed to go into there?

    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around 
    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
