depends...are you upgrading the turbos?

i started mid day saterday, had the turbos off by 7ish that night, then turbos on sunday morning and finished abit after lunch

but i had all the tools, all new gaskets etc etc so i didnt waste time to go source parts, plus i was lucky and my oil/oil lines didnt crack like alot do due to age

Put it this way, if you arent sure what changing the turbos would involve off the top of your head, you surely arent ready to handle such a task.

I have done many conversions and do not like the idea of doing GTR turbos with the motor in the bay.

i've done this without taking the turbos off, did it over 2 days and a few trips to the shop for a couple of tools I didn't have. You'll need a 13mm crescent wrench for some of the turbo to dump bolts. Getting the dump off the front turbo is possible without removing the rear turbo, but it may be made easier if you loosen the rear turbo to manifold bolts so you can move it a little. Here's some pics. It doesn't mean it's easier to do with turbos on though, just possble......post-48345-0-60735200-1303342764_thumb.jpgpost-48345-0-10348300-1303342732_thumb.jpgpost-48345-0-56935300-1303342695_thumb.jpgpost-48345-0-10152600-1303342657_thumb.jpgpost-48345-0-65060200-1303342605_thumb.jpg

I wrote this a while ago, might be relevant to your situation:

As said above, it's probably easier to remove the turbos. If for no other reason, than with the turbos out, you can be sure you get a nice even clamp with the bolts onto the turbo/dump gasket.

Removing turbos is not actually that hard if you carefully read the factory instruction manual and follow the sequence of removing stuff.

Also, remove the power steering pump - it seems like pointeless work but trust me it makes the job that much easier.

Also invest in a set of ratcheting spanners.

    • 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.
