looks like im going to go for a highflow after all that. i talked to stao, and he suggested that if im not planning on going highmount in the future to make bigger numbers with the ATR43G3, then i might aswell highflow. as said above the extra 20 or so kw, is not worth it with the G3 when i can have the highflow with only slightly less response than standard, and being a heavier car the response is probably more benefical than the 20kw.

cheers for the help guys, looks like ive got it all sorted.

Just picked up the passenger side cam cover gasket to fit tomorrow. Came in just in time as yesterday I pulled up at a mates workshop and had smoke coming out from under the bonnet due to the oil running into the turbo!

If people want I can't do a DIY write up on how to do it for those wanting to have a go but aren't sure about how to go about it.

You might as well; it can't hurt to have one.

Maybe put it up on the "Awesome" forum too, Iain would be happy to have it there; that's the best spot for "How to's" IMO.

Not a problem. All we need is someone to do a turbo remove/refit to show the easiest way to go about.

I would but my hands are always too dirty, and the missus won't let me use the camera.

The way I do it involves a few special tools I have made, and also requires a fair tool kit (torx sockets, extra long extensions with universals, deep sockets etc,) not something I would generally recommend as DIY. Its a biach of a job.

Plenum off.

Rocker cover off (12mm bolts I think)

Remove rubber seal

install rubber seal in rocker cover

Get Fkd off trying to keep the damn seal in the cover whilst reinstalling lol

Bolt down rocker cover

Reinstall plenum etc

Look forward to reading your write up Paul and hearing how you go about keeping the seal in the cover when reinstalling :)

Start car and find the new gasket is leaking worse than before.

Do the whole job again...

FYP instead. :P

Or is it so you guys can keep offering your services for cash money to do the job for them? jokes

Feel free to come on over and help with mine; I'll stand back and take the pics...

I wouldn't want to get in the way. :whistling:

If your in Adelaide I would give you a hand.

Give me a chance to do the mistakes on yours before I did mine! Lol

dale are you doing yours at the workshop?

ill come take pics and give a hand if its a weekend im around

I hope so, if Craig is still speaking to me after the 11ty billion phone calls in the last week or so...

Fitted that insert yet?

What are you so worried about Paul, it's a simple turbo swap, and don't you have access to a hoist? Pictures in such a confined space will just confuse you more, it's not like you can see the bolts. Just give me a call when you do the job, i'm happy to work you through it...

No hoist access any more as he sold the business, so back to working on ramps :down:

Na Im not worried, just thought some tips to go about it as easy as possible would be good for me and others wanting to tackle it when the need arrises.

Hopefully it won't need doing for another year or more but who knows with these things, get ready for that call then!

Cheers

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
