Good luck Kasko, lol.

Actually one thing to be prepared for is having to physically bend the hard lines for the water feed. This is going to take time as you have to be careful not to crush them, and it's also very frustrating getting them to line up properly.

Not sure if it will be necessary with your turbo though

Kasko, I'm very confident that you will have to do some serious (but very cautious) bending of the hard water lines.

This can be a complete pain in the ass, we got it there on Troy's, but i went and got a soft line made up for mine from enzed.

Mitcho, The 34 highflow will just bolt straight back on and everything will line up perfectly.

- There's 6 dump pipe bolts (if you have had a new dump pipe some time in the cars life these won't be too bad) If it's a stock dump you might be able to detatch the dump from the rest of the exhaust by 3 bolts (i think), then take it out and get the dump removed on the bench.

- 4 Turbo to Manifold bolts/nuts (Theses are the ones that will break if anything's going to go wrong. Get new studs if you can get the old ones out! search Hypergear's thread for the size of stud, any exhaust shop will have them)

- 2 oil lines (easy)

- 2 water lines (will be easy with the same turbo going on)

- and the obvious piping (easy)

Cheers

It seems so easy when its typed out like that, but it never works out to be as simple. I have had the dump/front pipe on and off a few times, so im ok with getting it off. Im just not confident with acually removing the turbo/water/oil lines. I also really hope i dont snap any of the turbo to manifold studs. Is spraying them with heaps of wd40 a good idea or does it tend to not help much?

Yeah spray it with WD40, can't hurt!

I THINK the water lines are a 24mm banjo bolt, I may be off with the size but its a pretty big socket you need. They are on either side of the turbo (the oil feed is on the top and the oil drain is on the bottom).

the outside banjo bolt is easy to access, the one in between the turbo and block is kinda hard to get to. It can be easier to remove the dump and manifold nuts to you can slide the turbo out then get room to get the socket in there behind it.

As soon as you crack the either of the banjo bolts the head will drain all it's coolant out onto your feet, through said banjo bolt, so don't panic. So get a tray or something under there :)

The oil feed really is as simple as undoing an easy to get to bolt. the oil drain you can get off by just undoing a hose clamp under the turbo (stick your head under there and you can't miss it).

Okay so guys I pulled off everything yesterday except for the 2 water lines and the bottom oil line.

Didnt have the 24mm socket haha so I will be getting that today.

Either the product I purchased (instant freeze stuff) is amazingly good at what it does.

OR!

The why who bolted up my turbo and dump pipe is very stupid! because we managed to unscrew my bolts to the turbo and to the manifold by hand! They didnt need to be cracked or anything haha

How's the SS1PU looking?

Rusty haha the rear housing has already got surface rust.

Anyone know if there is paint capable or handling the heat on it if I sprayed it black?

It looks that it may not be a huge problem to fit but I should know by tonight.

Well I got a little side tracked and wired up my Z32 yesterday.

Shane pulled the last bit of the turbo off because we had to borrow a 24mm socket.

My stockie is out and today is gasket day/silicone joiner day.

Just need one gasket for the bottom of the turbo where the oil out line goes.

Then in it goes and im done!

Also have to put the whole front of the car back on haha because I decided to pull the front bar off and spray it

Plus clean the intercooler

I was talking to my mate yesterday and he thinks i should try and do as much as possible over the Easter break so I have a few free days in a row that I can dedicate to working on it.

I am thinking of doing the nismo fuel pump, trying the ecu to see if the car will run and maybe doing the profec b ebc on the Friday.

Pulling out the turbo/stock intake on Saturday and getting the hi flow and metal intake install started. Have a break on Sunday.

Then on Monday finish off the turbo install and wire up a quick swap over plug sorta thing for the z32.

Then I guess see if the car will still drive with all that and if not whack in the injectors and get it towed to the tuners during the week.

Is anyone going to be available to possibly help out over Easter (specifically with the turbo/ ebc/ afm soldering) ?

Edited by Mitcho_7

If I have any time mate I'll give you a call

The wiring for the AFM quick swap plug was straight forward in mine.

I went to jaycar and got 2 plugs with 4 holes and wires.

EBC I have a greddy profec b spec and could help with that one to.

Just depends on if I have to work a lot

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
