I have drilled the manifold flanges out with a 8mm bit. Will see how they fit on the studs when I get home. Should be fine if the holes are in the correct position as 8mm is a close fit.

Here is the list of fittings I ordered to do the Water lines.

I already have M14x1.5 to -6AN adapters in the turbo housing so you would need 2 of those to. I got mine from MTQ turbo's here in Adelaide

turbo to mani flange yeah ? bolt slides through the turb flange and then screws into the threaded mani flange. then u can screw the nut on the end of that :nyaanyaa: does that not make sense ??

Makes sense... But why you would do it doesn't, not necessary. Would rather shear a bolt with a nut than a bolt in a threaded hole in a manifold! Nasty!

So the 45's come out of each turbo(needed to clear the actuator rod) then both lines go into the Tee(one with a straight connector and the other with the 90) Then out the other side of the tee with a straight connect to line to another straight connecter to the barb adaptor and into the OEM 10mm ID pipe.

I will re route the original hard pipe boost and vac line with some silicon.

Now that I have drilled out the manifolds I will be able to bolt up the turbo's and dummy fit up my hard pipes. I reallllly hope they go on without the need of modification. Will let you know....with more pics of course. :thumbsup:

My power steering resevoir will need to be moved however.

I had to enlarge the flange holes to 9mm to fit correctly.

The front Dump pipe O2 sensor also doesn't fit as it fowls on the manifold

My hard pipe kit does fit, I am also using an Apexi Z32 adaptor pipe kit...but will have to check if the filters still fit in the engine bay

You wouldn't really want the outlet pipes that close to the manifold tube anyway though ye?

Total custom piping required to move it as far as possible unless you plan to run a sheet inbetween?

I will be running heat wrap on the manifolds and make up a deflector sheild with tags that are held on by the hose clamps in that area. Not interested in reinventing the wheel -->Cast alloy pipes are a pain to weld. I may be able to get some more clearance by rotating the rear turbo compressor housing. Pretty sure its already close to max clockwise rotation available however.

Now I have to decide what to do with the pipes. Crinkle black with black silicon or as is with black silicon... :huh:

Just another thought....my bonnet clearance will be awefully close with the RB30's height considering the timing cover doesn't fit under...from what I can see it actually won't fit with the height of the top pipe. Will have to have a closer look at that. :ermm:

Alot of messing about, I'm a thought 6boost would have trail fitted them before they started selling them. Owell hopfully you get the gains your after, they sure would look nice ceramic coated.

Are you sure you didn't just get a slightly different set?

I was always under the impression that they just bolted up and away you go as I don't think we have heard of these type of issues from others who have use them.

I have always thought of buying a used set if/when they come up for sale as they look like a great product.

Kyle pointed out I would have most of these issues as it was the only way to make a decent collector. The idea of this thread is to identify a step by step installation guide and to outline the outlay versus performance gain.

They will be heat wrapped never the less. There close proximity to the rocker cover and hard pipe we induce too much radiant heat even ceramic coated.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
