Someone I know in New Zealand went through all this but his turbo kit was remains of a half-cut from a turbo Y34. There is no aftermarket turbo kit for Y34 (highly unlikely there would be one available in Japan).

The russians have a forum on Nissans that may be useful. http://forums.drom.ru/nissan-cedric-gloria-cima/

If you want to spend money on parts you'll have to browse endlessly on Yahoo Auctions. There are some nice bits second-hand you just have to be patient sometimes. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Flist1.auctions.yahoo.co.jp%2Fjp%2F%25E3%2583%2591%25E3%2583%25BC%25E3%2583%2584-%25E8%2587%25AA%25E5%258B%2595%25E8%25BB%258A-%25E3%2582%25AA%25E3%2583%25BC%25E3%2583%2588%25E3%2583%2590%25E3%2582%25A4%2F26322-category.html

Even if you decided to run your current injectors and ECU, you would still need to source the exhaust manifold, fit an intercooler, all the related intake piping, turbo dump pipe, probably a full exhaust. And there is no guarantee the engine would run well on DD injectors and ECU. There may also be issues with how many oxygen sensors the ECU monitors as well.

In summary, its not worth the hassle or the money. Should have thought about this before you bought the car. Some stageas have the VQ30DD and VQ25DD, theyre not identical to the Y34 engines but there should be enough info on SAU to give you some ideas of what mods you can do for performance.

Personally, I would do preventative maintenance on the car since you just got it (presumably from Japan). My car gained a lot from just changing spark plugs and coilpacks. A full exhaust system would be good, you could fit a shift kit, throw a Z33 LSD into the diff, inspect/clean the intake plenum because its going to be full of shit (theres a thread on SAU about cleaning the intake, but I cant find it)

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

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

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
