yer i found a leak...

The bracket for the heat sheild makes the contact between the dump and turbo realy uneaven...

I have exhaust wrap over the dump. My question is can i go without the heatsheild? does it realy block that much heat? I can just mount the wires up a bit higher near the abs, will they melt or anything?

2. Is the wire/connection that goes in the top of the dump my knock sensor?

do you know a way of mounting the heat shield without using the bracket that goes between the dump and turbo... Cuz it doesnt do up any tighter and there is still a gap cuz its uneven.. I just put it togethor then without the shield and i was just going to put exhaust wrap over the connection and wires that come from the top of the dump... But if it makes a big difference i would like to put the shield back on....I dont know how to mount it tho.... + i polished it last night :D

If I read you correctly, you've stuck the heat shield bracket BETWEEN the turbo and the dump. Right?

It goes OUTSIDE the flange ie dump mounts up to turbo, and bracket sits on dump, then put bolts thru bracket and dump into turbo.

The wire / connection is the O2 sensor.

2. Is the wire/connection that goes in the top of the dump my knock sensor?

Nope. The knock sensors are on the inlet side of the block underneath the inlet manifold.

The sensor in the top of your dump pipe is the O2 sensor...

Can't help with the mounting sorry :D

GAWD IM A DUM SH1T!

haha.. i cant beleive i didnt do that..

thanks mate

in the attached image.. the green ones are the bolts that i have done up tight.. the 2 red ones i cant do up cuz there is no room to tighten them cus the spanner or whatever else i use hits the dump and cant be turned... how could i tighten these up? I cant feel any air or hear any leak from it...

ok image didnt upload... I have the four outside ones done.. The other 2 are impossible to get to.

I havent realy tested it out yet.. i have only gone to .4bar.. Should i turn boost down or anything like that first... i only have a bleed running .8 atm... this was before the pipe/cat was put on... Should i be listing to anything while i am testing it?

thanks

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
