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!

    • 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?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
