so ive recently purchaced a gt3076r and now looking at the dist between the manifold and the strut tower it looks like it might not fit down there..

has anyone done this/will i need to get a new topmount manifold?

thanks Simon G

Above is correct. I got a 3076 with a 10pm spacer on stock manifold. Fits on my r33. Don't think the engine bay is smaller in the r32 but I could he wrong. I know I can fit a 3540 on my stock manifold so I think you should be fine

adriano.. rotate housings? is that just a unbolt slide it round rebolt? does it affect the flow? can anyone else confirm this? :)

rotate the exhaust housing so that the oil feed sits at the top when the turbo is bolted to the manifold then rotate the comp housing to suit your cooler piping

haha alrighty thanks guys thats a load off my mind so does anyone know of a trader on here that sells the 10mm T3 spacers and at what cost?

another q.. anyone know about oil and water lines for the 3076 wil they be the same as my Apexi 400hp thats on there atm?

mtq can get a spacer for you.

i did the exact same thing with my gt2876 .86 on my rb25. stock manifold. needed 2 spacers with extended hightensile studs though. mtq can supply all gaskets, lines and flangeplates you might need and for a very good price to.

Also have the same turbo, but on a 33.

+1 for Mtq having tons of stuff that you will need.

Also, The lines may be different to the ones on your apexi:

1. your apexi turbo is a 400hp turbo, this is a 550-600hp turbo and probably bigger and you may need longer/shorter lines.

2. We dont know what your apexi and your 3076r turbos cores are, meaning the type of bearing used in them. If 1 is a ball bearing and one is a journal bearing, the ball bearing requires significantly less oil whereas the journal bearing needs lots of oil - this is important for you to know.

so it probably just easier to get some new lines and fittings, they are not that expensive, I bought mine at a place called pirtek.

gl with it.

Oh wow thats spooky i also has an Apexi 400hp turbo on mine before upgrading! I needed new lines

should these lines suffice? it says single ball bearing on there tho im not 100% but i think its a dual BB (at work atm cnt go look at it)

also once ive got it bolted on with correct lines n spacers etc.. is it safe to drive it or will i need a retune? and for a tune is it going to be costly seeming as its just being retuned to the turbo or is a tune just a full tune? :D

I would ring MTQ and order the lines and spacer all at once it wont be that expensive, I think it cost me about $200 and it all worked perfectly. You could probably drive it to a tune off boost but i wouldnt go further than that, and as for the retune mine was a little cheaper becasue they didnt have to do a lot to the lower rpm sections of the tune so it was a little cheaper than normal

    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
    • Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.
    • Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-
    • Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
