im yet to put mine in too just need to get my fuel rail. Which fuel rail did you use to fit it under the plenum.

Anychance you could also tell me if the R34Neo injectors you pulled out were 11mm or 14mm. Seems to be two answers on the threads im reading.

Just used the standard fuel rail and 4mm spacer man. It still clears the plenum easy as, no worries there. Ah to be honest i didn't even measure the size difference between the old ones and the new ones. I just sprayed lanolin on them and they went into the fuel rail fine and didn't move around at all when i put the retaining clips in. With my luck i wouldn't be surprised if i bought the wrong ones haha, anything i do seems to be one step forward and two steps back!

I've got my stock injectors sitting in a box at home, ill measure them for you tomorrow. Pretty sure they are 14mm though.

Sweet, cheers dude.

Also, new turbo finally arrived! It is much bigger than i thought it was going to be hahaha. It is going on tonight and is the last thing i have to get sorted before the car goes down to trent this weekend for tuning! Fingers crossed it bolts up all sweet and i don't have anything bite me in the ass >_<

Any idea what size studs I need? And how do I get the olds ones out?

Trying to make it fit by clocking the turbo but don't think it will work.

From memory the factory ones are 42mm, so it depends what size spacer you have. I think Stao uses a 15mm spacer, so you will need to get studs at least 15mm longer. I believe I went with 67mm studs.

Standard studs are 39mm, parts that protrude from the manifold is only 24mm, turbo housing is 10mm, spacer is 16mm.

So standard studs are 2mm Fromm even being flush with new turbo.

Will try and get it all sorted tomorrow, hopefully have enough time to get it sorted before this weekend >_<

This is what i would be after yeah? Hopefully can source some locally if not then i'm pretty much farked before this weekend haha.

Yep, they are what I used. Be warned, mine warped severely after about 2000kms. I had to cut two of them to get them off.

But MTQ were very surprised and said it shouldn't happen, and because I couldn't find any inconel studs I just used the same ones again. They seem to still be ok.

Got the turbo on finally after fighting with oil and water lines. Found it interesting that the turbo doesn't have a little nipple or similar to run to the wastegate? Just used a spare nipple on my plenum and run it to that.

Run the wastegate as close to the turbo outlet as you can. Stao really should put a nipple on the turbo. But you want the wastegate plumbed into a source as close to the turbo as possible, because of you get a leak somewhere and the boost pressure is lower at the plenum then you could be working the ass off the turbo, superheating the intake charge. If that means getting a nipple put onto the hot side cooler piping then do that.

Would probably be ok for the tune. You should really check for leaks before it goes on the dyno anyway, but hopefully it's ok. But if Trent can't do it, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just do it at some point.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
