Yep, and a nice big power steering fluid stain on the ground from his ute lol.

Well this arvo, temp fitted the turbos to line up piping, then bolted them up.

Points to note;

These GTX turbo's are not a bolt on turbo for RB26's.

You need to buy the rear housings seperate.

I chopped the intake snout and outlet to weld on stock piping, and got the flanges welded on the outlet pipes to bolt up to the twin turbo pipes..

Also port matched inlets to compressor housings, as they are 3inch inlets, and inlets are 2 inch on the stock pipes.

Wastegate actuator mounting bracket holes need to spaced out more to bolt up to compressor housings.

Oil and water lines on the CHRA don't have anywhere to bolt to the compressor housings (seemed fine without them).

Oil drain pipes also needed the holes diegrinded.

Gearbox is on too. Just a few little things to go.

Tuesday was spent finishing off engine accesories and piping, as well as exhaust, oils, belts etc.

Cranked engine over with no plugs to get oil through the oil cooler and engine. 20 seconds later, oil pressure :D

Filled radiator up with water only to settle head gasket sealing material, and once I dump the run in oil, I'll put in coolant.

Once it was ready to go, it fired up straight away, smooth and quiet. Like it never got pulled apart!!

So bedded in the rings going up the blue mountains and I've put 270kms on it so far. Next is another oil and filter change then tune!!

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
