hey all... finaly got off my ass and did somthing bout my custom turbo that vents to atmosphere! lol... the gaskets were shagged and sounded like a tractor! many will agree!

today we got all the cooler, intake and other pipes out the way. took out the 1st turbos manifold bolts, and some of the 2nd, the front pipe, and unbolted the turbo to manifold bolts... the coolant and oil lines (2 of each..)of the 1st turbo... how ever the turbo still wouldnt come off the manifold... there was sum heat sheild underneath the turbo that gave us a little bit more movement but not all thats left in the way is the o2 sensor.

it ended up being a missing bolt on the front dump, loose rear dump bolts, and a few other loose ones aswell! is there any other hints any wants to share :) its actualy not that hard once you start going tho i spose!

thanx guys!

my only tip, dont snap a turbo stud!

its one big headf**k to get it drilled out, you gotta make nuff room there

for captain thread to get his drill in!

never want to go there again lol

wasnt a fun way to spend my 21st thats for sure :)

good luck!

if ya need a hand let me know

im still stuffed after the turbo install, seems Ive pinched the sciatic nerve so the past few weeks I havent been able to sit down for longer than half-hour.

sore and stiff :D

good luck & have fun !

cheffs at work today but once i get hone think ill do some more.... rather tired after getting home at 4.30am dono how im on here this early truth be known. At the girlfriends place sitting in her bed on SAU on her laptop and no whining :D think shes keeper :D

Ok so I managed to get both turbos out thisarvo. What a Cun& of a job.

Pretty sure ive found whats making cheffs car sound like a tractor. No bolts holding the rear turbo's dump onto the turbo would have alot to do with it id say :blink: The gasket in the join or what resembles as "gasket"is also well rooted. Apart from that the other gaskets look fine. Will admit most things were fairly loose. The oil line on the rear turbo (not the metal one) was so loose and looks like its been leaking :P. The rear turbo on removal of the induction pipe prob had 5ml of oil sitting in it just infront of the fins. Is this an issue? Their is next to no shaft play in either turbos.

Cant wait to get back in their and put it all back together :S NOT! haha im at work tomorrow so adam can do it :blush:

I would say that there is certainly a chance that the rear turbo needs a new compressor seal - Adam might be well advised to have them both rebuilt while they're off...

ben i havnt got much experience in this kinda stuff. how expensive is this kinda job? im not going to to to crazy on it with mods... all shes guna get is the safc2 EBC 11psi im thinking... tuned and an exhaust.... its not going to be worked hard. having said that what could happen if the seal fully shags it self. and can i see how bad it is by looking or doing somthing :S....

If you're serious about not modifying the car much, then a rebuild of what you've got would be the cheapest 'new' option.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
