I would be taking the car to a mechanic first, just to fix the issues you have currently, then re-evaluate if you want to head down the modification path, after reading and understanding the hundreds of threads discussing exactly what you plan to do to your car.

Secondly, turn the boost down.

After this conversation with you this evening, I'm not sure if you have much of understanding of a Skyline, Because factory Nissan skyline does not comes factory externally gated. We spent 3 days working on your order and the ad clearly stated as an externally gated turbocharger. So I have no reasons to refund or provide further services, Unless I wish to help you out instead.

I believe in your situation it is probably best if we just highflow your stock turbocharger instead of building the G3 internally gated. The broken stud can be removed. So if preferred send us your stock turbocharger to carry out this service, and I will transfer the payment across for the high flow service instead.

With diagnostic of your current problem, plug in an scanner, your O2 feed back should appear in a rich n lean cycle. If not check your sensor and wiring.

If the scanner does not show an lean reading on throttle its highly ignition related, which I had same issue on both of my R33s. Use heat range 7 plug and gap them to 0.8 first, if problem persists, it is probably your coil packs. Replace them with proper split fire coil packs and stay away from the ebay yellow or red jackets of what so ever.

If you do wish to get close to 350rwkws, you must get a proper steam pipe manifold and external gate and use the turbocharger sent with E85 fuel. Buy a proper made manifold such as Brae high mount or 6 boost, stay away from the SS ebay $350 special.

Broken stud was engine head side of things, all fixed now , and with this high mount manifold is it going to make the turbo clash with the bonnet or are they designed rightly so to fit in snug-like ?

Then i`m guessing the hi mount manifold is going to cause exhaust pipe lining-up issues /bring out the mig welder and the grinder and elbow grease or is there standard adaptors i can buy to bridge the gap?

thanks!

It was my mistake, you have a huge photo on the right of an internally gated turbo and i was in a rush to buy it before business closing times, not that it made much difference getting her before 13 days, but yeah,

change your ad to show the EXTERNALLY GATED TURBO first with the TEXT "THIS IS ALL THE PARTS YOU ARE PURCHASING " - IN/AROUND/BELOW THE PHOTO

then when showing a huge picture of an internally gated turbo state " this is an optional extra at more extra cost more clearly in/around/below the photo.

And as i stated on the phone i've been around skylines all my driving life, it was your silly confusing advert that landed me in this bind, i assumed the top photo had the rest of the turbo's accessories removed for better clarity of the turbo itself as to not look like a bulky stock mess like the factory turbos.

And not to be rude or anything it says 10 available on the advert, it doesnt say you will take the orders as they come and go out back and fabricate it, if it said 13 day waiting period on the ad because we build on demand i would have had a good laugh and found an alternative.

Had me worried for a moment there, i thought the postie had done a runner with the turbo and bolted it up to his fully sick hilux or something outta spite, but perhaps i`ll see it later on today like you stated yesterday?

You mentioned you've been around skylines all your driving life, but in that time have really missed picking up the basics.

Don't rush into modifying your car or you will be in a world of hurt. Take your time, this site has so much excellent info to make your life easy, read it and benefit from it.

Well, every detail has been stated including handling time and delivery, if the ad is not been read before purchase is made then no other person should be blamed.

Its regardless wither I stated it internal or external gate, as you didn't know what they were. I'm the one whom told you what internal gate and external gates are. Doing high mount and external gate, It will be far more involving then sorting basic diagnostics. Have a look at every one whom got 350rwkws+ on a proper setup. They know they their skylines, their fabrications and modifications. I own skylines for 6 years and I've rebuilt it twice, knowing the car inside out, my car pulls 490rwkws, and I've been helping members here getting their results.

No offence, I don't think you currently has the knowledge or experiences for this sort of task. Return the G3 external gated turbo and send us your stock turbo to be high flowed. Once done have it fitted, get your car tuned, and be happy with 260 pump or 300rwkws E85 with stock driving ability.

LOL exhange the turbo, what are you missing a few screws like the bloke from ATR who can barely strum a sentence together.

He is saying return the 900 dollar turbo and ill charge you over 900 to hi flow your old shit turbo, that makes alot of sense, lol, where are the aussies these days, dying breed.

Howcome not a ebay super seller? 500 stars, im super seller with 200, and only 70 of them were sales, LOL, what was the track record before the last 12 months i wonder ?? can not be pretty, lucky this time, normally im a negative feedback whore, but i feel for you, i`ll give you a break

You are going to seriously struggle with your car dude if you don't take advice from people when they give it.

Hypergear has developed and tested heaps of turbos for rb25s ,his car has done 1000s of dyno runs. Have you read his thread in the forced induction section?

Good luck with it all. You are going to struggle.

lol, oRRrrr Im going to sell it on to a crack fiend who wont know what him him @ stock and make a killing on it, which one do you think , struggle or profit? i dunno its too tricky to tell

Ok you may have been round skylines you entire driving life, but clearly know little. Being around cars doesn't mean you know about them. My missus has been around imports for about 10 years but she knows nothing when it comes to the mechanical side of things.

You clearly know little about highflowing turbos and the cost involved in that, and why it is so expensive.

To answer your question about boost levels (7psi vs 10psi), again this shows a bit of a lack of knowledge on your part. The stock boost setup on the r33 is with a 5psi wastegate actuator (although it will often be a bit higher with the addition of a turbo back exhaust) and a bleed off solenoid. The solenoid is closed below about 4500 rpm, but above that it opens. When it opens it bleeds off air going to the wastage actuator so the actuator sees less pressure than what is actually in the system.

So to just run the lower boost all the time just remove the vaccum hose (that runs from the T piece in the hose from the cooler pipe to the actuator) and plug it.

in order for me to learn, you share knowledge without condemnation, this is my 2nd turbo car ever owned, the first was a mitsubishi starion, and that had soo much shit in the bonnet i couldnt see the turbo from the rest of it, give a guy a break, im trying to live and learn not put up with DONT YOU KNOW BETTER comments, this is what forums are about are they not?

, troubleshooting !!

Yes I know jack shit about r33's and turbos for that matter, but do I pretend to know more than jack shit?

I was just annoyed that some local bloke recommended hypergear and never mentioned which setup to purchase, just said its a direct bolt on fits all stock r33's, my bad for trusting bad advice, but i dont go around bitchin about his advice do I, if i researched on my own i would have eventually found the answers i need, but in todays modern paced world we want tomorrows news today, so dont hate the player, hate the game, LOL!!! :)

I suggest you do some research instead of just asking some random person. Become familiar with the search function and do some reading and you will have most of your questions answered and also be able to make judgements for yourself and your specific wants/needs.

trueeee, if i wanted to waste 10 years researching i would, but i have a mrs, a bi polar one at that, and i can't be internet browsing all hours of the night without not hearing the end of it, understand the jam im in yea?, lol

It doesn't need a photo! that description is more than enough.....

Haven't you seen an internal waste gate actuator before?

PIC_0455.jpg

:rofl2:

That is not an actuator my friend. not sure if its me but I found your language very hard to understand.

What hypergear said was he is going to swap that externally gated turbo you have for a high flowed turbo, with you sending him your factory turbo. That is very nice of Stao offering to help. Like many said, you need a fair amount of knowledge for extensive modification. It is best to bolt on a high flowed turbo getting the power in a much simpler way.

Hypergear's is here for 6 years, welly respected member, he's modification thread is indexed and the biggest read under forced induction contain every thing you need to know. link is at:

Then you don't have time to do the build either..

Give your car to a specialist workshop, tell them you want to do 300km/hr and give them all your money..

Your are not the only person with other commitments, what you want is not a simple thing, not even sure you know what you want so you should start there =)

Work out if your goal is actually attainable with the investment you are prepared to make (including time and money)

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
