Hi, i removed my turbo heat shield due to a screeching turbo, to find a nut missing off the manifold to turbo stud, and the others were loose.

the oil line is in the way of the bottom left one, preventing me to tighten it.

Is there a way of tightening it, or will i need to remove the oil line and spill oil everywhere in the process of trying to get to it?

Thanks people! (going on a melb - syd drive friday night..)

no you don't need to remove the oil line.

you are best off using a uni joint and a short 17mm socket. ( i think they are 17 arnet they)

or you can get at it with a angled spanner and a hammer tapping from the top to loosen it. you only have aboutr a eighth of a turn from memory.

i have taken a turbo off like 5 times and have not had to remove the oil drain untill after removing the nuts.

good luck.

      Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together
