ok so ive purchased myself a twinscroll dual wastegate highmount 6boost mani for my r34

I seem to have come to a slight impass whilst test fitting before taking to the ceramic coaters.

my problem is that it hits on one of the hard lines going to my ac compressor. just want to know if anyone can recommend a shop in Sydney that could make up a custom line for me if its possible

or if someone else has had this issue and found another solution, its the one on the top at the back of it that goes up through the firewall.

ive already disconnected it and it clears everything else, just going to get some heat sleeving and shielding for surrounding cables and lines.

note that I did use the search function but could not find anything of help

thanks

i had the same issue with mine, kyle(6boost) offered to fix it for free, but i ended up just getting an a/c line modded,

just go to your local a/c or radiator place. thats where i got mine done

or send it back to be fixed

I got it off one of his suppliers who told me to just bend it out of the way. I've already dropped it off to be ceramic coated so definitely not sending it back. Might try bend it n if it snaps or kinks I'll just go check out an ac place.

owenliberts what did they do to mod it and how much was it roughly?

This also happened to some one who uses the same mechanic as me, think his name is Jamie and he is a member on here. R34 GTR "HALUCN8" apparently no one has given Kyle at 6boost about it. Jamie apparently spoke to Kyle about it at Jamboree

I told kyle, but was told, ghats the right manifold.

as I said, knock it out of the way, works ok so far.

also have ceramic coating.

and some heat wrap.

Luke GTR what did u use to give it some persuasion, a small pipe bender would be good, don't wanna buy one just for this though

lump of wood and a hammer helped.

also, a pry bar.

look on ebay for heat proof tape/pipe coverings.

can take some punishment.

should help prolong the life of the ac.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
