Well, I drilled holes in one of the manifolds last night; so it may never run again...

Hope everything went smoothly today, and that Craig didn't have a protein shake for brekky; too much powaaaahhhh!

Finished for today. We're both stuffed.Manifolds on, crossover pipe , heat shield on. Turbo on and tight. Intake on. O2 sensors on and heat proofing in lots of places. Oil and water feeds to turbo done, have to do returns. Need to fabricate turbo outlet piping, and exhaust from where the gate goes in needs to be extended. I'll post some pics tomorrow when I'm not exhausted!

Big thanks to Craig for putting in the lions share of work, and Dale for fixing up a boo boo last night, even at a BBQ! Both legends, and can't thank you guys enough. cheers.gif

On a note, never put your hand up to change v35/350z headers, not in a million years!

When attempting difficult jobs, its important to be precise and organised....

That ends it for now.

you didnt drop the engine to install the manifolds???

nup......I have cuts and abrasions to prove it!

IMO theres about 5 hours of work left.....tops!

not including the 2 bits of custom stuff that needs doing

Edited by Jetwreck

lolz.........we not only have 1 hoist.....we have 2 at Stagea Garage! nyaanyaa.gif

Bah! Weak!!

Or perhaps I am a touch jealous of not having to lie under the car holding the exhaust in one hand whilst doing up nuts with the other....

Scott removes NM35 turbo's without a hoist or removing the engine quite often.

You won't be able to remove the turbo and manifold as one. The turbo will need to come out, then the manifold

Edited by iamhe77

Does that mean then you could remover the turbo from an NM35 without engine out? Is it possible if its turbo and manifold in one?

yes it does....every turbo I have done has been with the motor in the car. However I did my turbo while the motor was out and it was so much easier.......I am actually going to trial just removing the Crossmember this weekend coming on a NM35......his got the same turbo as me so it's a little more fiddly so I probably wont get it done is 2 hours like Scott can apparently do!....I estimate about 10 hours!

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
