I am having problems fitting the oil drain from a Gt3076r to a Rb25det. I have the drain on the turbo pointing vertically down. I have been supplied with a 19mm straight drain fitting by GCG what they suggest to use. The problem is the 19mm or 3/4 rubber hose keeps getting a kink in it. Ideally I need a angled drain fitting off the turbo, similar to the factory one but cannot seem to find one off the shelf. May need to make one?

What have others used on Gt30 series turbos in the low mount position. Photo's would be great.

I had a similar problem on my RB20. I did a temporary fix by getting a piece of moulded heater hose from Autobarn in the right size. I have a couple of speedflow fittings on the way that should be a more permanent fix.

Don't be afraid to "clock" things. Loosen your housing retainers and rotate the centre section slightly so that it's not straight up and down. That slight angle may help. If it's not enough, take the drain in and have the straight tail either bent a bit, or removed and weld in one with a nice curve. to point it all in the right direction.

If the hose is too long, it may cause a slight kink as JonnoHR31 said.

I ended rotating the turbo to get this to work. Turned it approx 5-10deg. I was tring to keep the drain in the ideal vertical position, but there is just not enough height.

It is now all hooked up

Thanks

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
