So few people have told me to put it up so here it is!

got the car a few months back with the usual, shitty 3" system, blitz turn flow, manual boost bleeder and POD.

drove it for a few months and was reasonably happy but....meh, could be better, i wanted to build something with a decent amount of low end and the boost to come on as soon as possible with room to improve in the future.

So the ordering of parts began!

trial fitted manifold

post-93368-0-79048500-1347253862_thumb.jpg

found the mani interfered with the a/c line, could be bothered sending the manifold back to QLD to be fixed, so i made up a new a/c line instead

post-93368-0-83849400-1347254105_thumb.jpg

fitted turbo and manifold, new studs and gaskets (got a bit excited seeing it mounted up), after this i made up the oil and water lines for the turbo with a gig kit(push lock fittings are shit)

post-93368-0-00499600-1347254438_thumb.jpg

fitted up plazmaman plenum, rerouted vacuum and coolant lines, extended and shortened some wiring

post-93368-0-43597800-1347255674_thumb.jpg

bolted to the standard flywheel

post-93368-0-34452500-1347256554_thumb.jpg

also had scotty make up part of the intercooler piping and the turbo intake pipe

post-93368-0-39617500-1347256676_thumb.jpg

fitted the battery to the boot

post-93368-0-43936600-1347256770_thumb.jpg

intalled a link G4 plug in

post-93368-0-18524100-1347256940_thumb.jpg

fitted link MAP sensor(top centre of pic) and MAC solenoid(on top of abs module) to control boost via the link instead of a separate boost controller

once this was all done it was off to see trent at chequered tuning where everything went well and nothing i had assembled fell off or caught fire

Nice Owen!

What have you done about your wheels rubbing against the wiring under the guard?

Found out on the weekend mine was rubbing against the plastic loom too and now has a hole in it.

Had to raise the car up a bit, could relocate it to the engine bay but don't know if i cbf :/

My looms rubbed through the conduit and just started on the wires :(

How do you find the 1.5 way with daily driving? Grabby and clunky at slow speeds?

Mines not a daily only a toy and just thinking of shimming the LSD farking tight again as most good LSD's ive seen are just as harsh when driving slowly.

Hey Owen, I am running the same diff and it's nice and quiet after a bit of driving... It binds in carparks but generally it's quiet... I initially thought it was shit as it was loud etc but then found out my coilovers were to blame and the diff is sweet ;)

Yeah I don't mind it, just sick of people asking about it.

Lol.

It will free up. They are very bitey when new.

Takes a little bit to get used to the lockup and slight push into the corner.

So its been ages since i've updated this, probably cos i've done nothing and am always working.

Anyway, 2nd was shagged in the gearbox so i pulled it out to rebuild it, ordered everything from Nissan japan, through jesse streeter and it cost about half of what it would have from a local nissan dealer.

For everyone who has wanted to rebuild there box but has been too scared to because of all the posts saying you need special tools blah, blah, blah, I say just do it.

I used a workshop press a bearing puller kit and a hammer and made some (really basic) parts for the puller.

anyway here are some pics (everyone loves pics)

tools used

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
