I wish it was, but checked that previously. By following the trail it could only be dripping down from the valve gasket (preferred) or coming from on top of the turbo. Only seems to leak after "proper' drive, not idling in driveway, so oil under pressure by the looks of it.

The oil line to the turbo could be split but I think you are right, the washers for the banjo may need to be replaced. :(

I may be driving up to Sydney this week, want me to fix it for you? Swap you for a cruise install. lol.

Took her out for the first half decent drive with it, to get acquainted and such.

Very happy with it. I did find it a big laggy for an NA so Im thinking Im going to have to put a kit in the gearbox.

The guy I got it of said it was a Four wheel, turns out its rear wheel.

Haha, I would be tempted to drive the 8hrs to Sydney if you were serious. But I know you have that cruise mostly sorted now, so I have nothing to trade (except some folding plastic).

Oh, and PWR ended up being a lousy bunch of not very nice people: The best they offered was a brand new radiator to my previous spec (inbuilt fluid coolers, triple cross-flow, etc) at a discounted rate.

Given that I would only expect it to last 18-24 months, pretty sure I'll pass, and buy a Jap name-brand unit (thinking Blitz), and run external oil and trans coolers... More than mildly disappointed at the outcome, but what can you do?

I will NEVER recommend their product to anyone!

Cruising on the highway and noticed the car was surging, gf pointed out that the torque split gauge was nearly on 10

Looks like I'm up for new rear tyres to match the new fronts :-(

Hi guys! I'm new to this site. I've got myself a nice 260RS in 2010. Since then I've had HKS hard piping put in, 3" turbo back exhaust, Nismo clutch, rebuilt gearbox, spitfire coils and a haltech ecu installed and tuned. It came with Tien coilovers. Now I'm looking to do a single turbo conversion in a few months just to bring spool up a lil.

What did you decide on in the end?

Still haven't decided; tossing up a 2860RS or 2871 core.

Exhaust side of both is identical, but the compressor exducer dimensions are 11mm different, so I'm not 100% sure.

Also the 2871 has thee trim options, 48, 52 and 56. On my SR I've had both the 48 and 56. I noticed no difference in boost response but did notice the 56 had more power up high.

On my SR it was making 18psi by 3800rpm with .64 exh so we could assume the vq25 would deliver 18psi around 3000-3200? Check with brad what his response is like as he uses a 2871 on his M35 but I don't know what trim version. I'd assume 52 trim as this is the most common version being a hks gtrs spec.

If your after closer to factory response I'd go the 2860 wheel, I will when mine fails but hopefully a while away still.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
