need to find out what kind of flange is needed for the dump pipe on the gloria. Everyones pretty confident it would be the 5-stud oval shape thats so common, but best way to find out is get a gasket from Nissan. but they said its going to take 3 weeks from japan. R33 turbo has 5 bolt oval type? would they have local stock of that you reckon?

R33 is 6 bolt, unsure of VQ turbos. Scotty would know

fixed.

best we can do is assume its the same as stagea, but you never really know till you see it. (or is nissan FAST would bring up a picture of the gasket/turbo)

Have you got any pics off the net? it's been a while since I saw the back of the turbo, but I thought the flange was the same as the stagea. The dump is very different.

Wow that's actually an oval... R33 is a 6 bolt and it's more of a bean shape, comes in a bit in the middle...

Wonder if this is 5 bolt purely so it is accessible? Does the dump curve down pretty sharply, making a 6th bolt on the bottom not possible?

inb4 custom made $100 gasket required. Is yours actually leaking or you're just looking to freshen up certain parts?

I have gaskets in stock, and stainless flanges. You found someone else to do it?

but we're just assuming the shape? once i get the gasket it should confirm the shape. just saves time on having it off. you're going to have to make the dump regardless of whether its the same as stagea, non?

So 12 months and 3 RS Turbos later finally feel the pain of the glass subi 5 speed.

Limiter launch on a box with almost 300,000kms on it which was also from a car which was previously stolen and thrashed and had copped plenty of lower RPM launches isn't really as glass as everyone makes them out to be though. Smashed on Friday night driving again Sunday night. $50 replacement box, try doing that with a Nissan :P

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
