Hi people. Well the slide hi-flow is now out and it is now time for the 3076 to go in. In regards to the studs in the standard manifold is the best thing to get them out with is some CRC and vice grips? Also should i change the standard manifold or will this be adequate. Finally the water line that goes from the turbo to the rear of the engine, how do you get this sucker off? Any help would be appreciated. Thank's :thumbsup:

Studs - you are more than likely to break a couple mate. CRC them a few times during the day and leave overnight to give you the best chance at getting them all out

Stock manifold is fine

And water line - with a bit of elbow grease, again perhaps CRC overnight.

The fun continues as i have now removed the manifold because i noticed four were broken. Is it fairly easy to take the broken one's out with the right tool's or should i call in someone. In regards to spacer plate and oil lines the turbo will be coming in full bolt on kit form (spacer plate, oil and water lines nuts, studs, gaskets etc).

IMO get rid of the waterlines, i dont see a point for them, when there's hot water running through them all the time.

As for where it ends up is behind the intake manifold, undo the 2 bolts on the head, if the hose doesnt come off you can always chop a bit hoes off, rust normally cramps it and its hard to remove.

What do you mean you dont see a point for the waterlines...? The turbo is water cooled!!!

As for the broken studs - call someone in. Its not that expensive and there are mobile guys in each state :)

Try get your others out first though, likely more will crack.

Thank's for all your imput guys. As far as the bolt for the water line behind the block do i have to really take the driver side rocket cover off. I have to admit though i've tried about five times now and cannot even get the spanner onto it.

Also make sure your oil lines are correct because using stock oil line is a no no. When i had my hypergear installed bymyself... i didnt get told to install a aftermarket oil line so therefore it blew up. So make sure u get an oil line.

That cleared my miss thoughts, ive been running an rb25 turbo without them for a while, guess it couldnt be good for the ceramic wheel.. :(

Id be more worried about the core.

A ball bearing turbo by nature requires less oil to lube the bearings. The offset to this less oil means there is less cooling going on.

Hence ball bearing turbos are ALL water cooled.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
