thanks so much Josh.

 

I think the exchange of a petrol tank might be fairly easy for a mechanic  but its the traps for those not familar with this car is my concern and how they put existing parts back together.

Hopefully I may get a reply or two.

 

 

Two Turbo swaps !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that doesn't sound good. how many km did each do.

I am just on 150K with original turbo

What was price labour ,if you don't mind me asking?

Cost me $500 to swap turbos. My original blew seals so i sourced another stock in GC to replace it. The one i got that was told was in GC was definitely not so ended up sending the one i pulled out to Hypergear for highflow. Then had the highflow installed so thats why i did it twice

Anyone will be able to swap out a fuel tank unless they are completely brainless. Don't forget to  help by running your fuel low! And depending on mileage it would be a good time to fit a new fuel pump.

Well actually I haven't met any brainless mechanics but have met many sloppy overcharging and some dishonest mechanics who didn't bother to complete the job properly.

These are the people I would prefer to avoid

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
