Hi guys, I'm upgrading the turbos on my gtr and have aquired thusfar:

-700cc injectors

-2860-5s (without actuators)

-power FC

-nismo afm's

-am performance dumps

-adjustable cam gears

The turbo does not have any oil feed or drain flanges... Should I pull these of my stock turbos? If not can anyone link me to suitable place I could buy them.

Also, what else would you say that I am missing to complete the upgrade? Gaskets ect?

Appreciate the help!

Thanks

Call GCG.

1300 887 267

They have the oil drains there. $65 IIRC. I'm not 100% sure if the stock ones are different to the Afternarket garret stuff, but the HKS drains need to be modified.

Yea, I was going to get my actuators from there. What about oil feed and restrictors? Is there anywhere in particular I should look for them?

just use the factory oil feed lines, the oil drain pipes are best ordered from gcg

Ditch the ECU all together, much better ECU's out there now. Link / Vipec, Haltech. There is nothing wrong with the old Power FC as such, its just that they are very old now and there are better options around. They still use AFM's which are fiddly at times and a MAP Sensor is hassle free in comparison. Power FC dont really offer much by way of upgrades / options. Link, Vipec, Haltech all have lots of options and accessories to add to them. Motorsports stuff, Flex fuel sensor capability, much better boost control options etc

IIRC the drains and all coolant / oil lines should work from the standard turbo's. Just get yourself a stack of new gaskets.

For gaskets try calling Powertune. They are having a moving sale at the moment and may very well have the gasket kits laying around. The kits will come with everything. Copper seals for the coolant and oil lines, new intake gaskets, new flange gaskets etc

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
