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

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
