Hey all

I was pulling the clutch out the car on the weekend on a hoist and saw one of the turbos ( -5s ) were leaking from the rear on my 33 gtr

I havent noticed any smoke or anything, and it isnt leaking to bad.

The leak is coming from the rear of the turbo.

Is it a simple fix of removing the turbo and changing the rear seal over?

Where can i get it from etc?

Its always the lower turbos that has issues on the GTRs. mainly because there isn't enough room left for the drain. See if the turbo has abnormal amount of shaft play, if not check and make sure drain pipe is kinked, blocked or siliconed all over.

If its been like that for a while and you've been driving it then it will need new seals.

It will more than likely be blowby oil, pull the intake off the turbo, clean it out (nearly all ofthem have oil in there)

Install an Autech style catch can to help prevent it from happening again,

You may also have to clean the cooler out

Hey DVs what's the best way to clean out intercooler? Honest question think this might have been half my issue with decreasing power I get a bit of blow by though

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      No updates on the car but figured I'd share a nice outing. All the recent work paid off and I got it all together and out the shed for a car based pre-wedding celebration for a good mate of mine. Pretty casual cruise through the hills to a pub for lunch then out for some go-karting at The Bend. Headed down to Myponga for the night We stopped in at the reservoir before heading out down to the coast for lunch via the dam  By the end of the weekend away I covered 350km and the 32 generally behaved its self. A good Shake down after being apart before the Track day in a few weeks

      Prop Shaft rebuilding Melbourne.

      By SteveL · Posted

      The front prop shaft from my GTR had very notchy unis, which obviously needed replacement but unfortunately uses the (usually) non-replaceable (staked) type.     A new shaft is something like $2K plus shipping from Japan.   I wouldn't even bother asking the local Nissan spares dept.     Rang Hardy Spicer but no go, which surprised me a little.     There's a place over Dandenong way that would make me a 'performance' shaft but un-necessary in my situation.   They claimed to be getting the equipment in to replace staked unis but couldn't give me a timeframe.   Anyway, long story short, found a place to do the work just 5 mins from me: https://knoxdriveshafts.com.au $420 (cash) and about a week later I have my driveshaft back.   Price includes balancing. Owner is a one man band working out of a shed in his backyard but from what I could see he's very well setup with some expensive equipment.

      Replacing Fuel Pressure Regulator

      Thanks. That's what I was after. One of the kits, the o-ring side is too big diameter. The other kit is a plate with a o-ring to seal and the hose connection offset.

      Are you using the factory rail?  Is there any reason you don't want to use one of the two you already have, they don't have to attach to the fuel rail directly.  If you 100% must have a FPR that directly bolts to the fuel rail, you could get a Radium setup. I use a radium fuel rail and the direct mount regulator, it is quite a sexy setup.
