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.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
