Started pulling my driveshafts out. Passenger side was easy. I broke a ratchet and 2 sockets trying to get the drivers side nut off, no dice :(

quality tools, lots of WD40, Impact and leverage - lol

No I don't want to come over and do it. I just like being a smart arse with advice :P

thanks, but i have one already :)

i had leverage too, my trolley jack handle :P

left it to soak this morning, will try again tonight.

Try swearing A LOT. it usually helps i find.

Have you tried using quality ring spanner and then bashing it with a hammer. Once i tried jumping on a nut with long bar and snapped sockets, then inserted a ring spanner and bashed with those short fat 1 piece hammers and it came off smoothly. Just hold the bolt end with your hand to keep tension on the spanner. I now use this technique to get everything off works so well, and if hammer unavailable use the bottom of your fist.

Yeah that was with long bar/gradual torque method on seized bolts , but with hammer method i havent had one ruined bolt/nut and 100% success rate even on most seized bolts

Still drive the corolla by the way :P

R34 went in for tune in syd but some issues arose with exhaust leaks and wastegate fouling (stupid split dump pipe) but i fixed everything, all mods ready for the e85 tune.

Hows yours white r33 or did you get rid of it ?

He got a "family" and "settled down" and de manned himself and got a stag.

Stupid question, but can anyone point me in the right direction for where to buy a can of compressed air? I assume they're available from places like Autopro etc though there might be a much cheaper option.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
