Time will tell. Just found out I can't use the hoist at work due to insurance stuff Il get under her tommorow as best as I can with a scissor jack on the street to change oil and plugs and find the source of this coolant leak. If I find anymore dodgy shit I'm tempted to sell it and buy a better example. Fingers crossed it doesn't come to that.

Im going to sneak her into work late saturday /sunday and stick her on a hoist and go to town with a mate that knows a bit more than me. Just noticed shes loosing coolant aswell (out the bottom thank god) So probably got a lot of fixes before i even start to think of mods. Given how shit this car has turned out to be i might make a new thread under "restorations" lol and document it as i go along if anybody would be interested.

I was leaning towards that, that's good to know. I was planning on giving them a call tommorow to pick their brains. I don't have the funds to do everything at once so I was thinking of doing the turbo first incase this noisy stock one detonates and causes more problems. Is there any potential issues running something like a g3 on a stock side mount and ecu for a while?

Cheers mate. Really appreciate it.

North Sydney, which makes things bloody hard.

No, I won't be using them. Im in for Sydney for the record.

Yep, im thinking there was a bottom one too but it melted. In hindsight my plans to use this as a cheap weekend cruiser were probably a bit optimistic A project has never killed anybody though and its a good opportunity to learn. There's a grinding sound that comes and goes from the turbo which i'm guessing is the blades hitting the housing so the plans are.. Replace the turbo with something bolt on, thinking the G2 or G3 from hypergear Replace rusted out radiator with an aluminum one Replace the fully hektic blast pipes with something a bit more sensible Treat the nasty rust in the boot Finally, Enjoy the F***ing thing (in my dreams) Then if required fuel pumps, injectors & ecu and etc etc but i don't have the first clue about stuff like that and gonna have to do WAY more reading. Il be sure to bug everybody with all the questions i have

Big thanks to everybody that contributed. She's topped up and running and best of all not leaking! Here's some before and afters!

Yeah, a high flow was on the cards... Not the same week I bought it though. Feel pretty cheated to be honest. If I go high flow Il need to get a fmic too right? This is getting expensive fast.
-
Do I need 2? Top and bottom or just top? I've taken my banjo bolt out and I've only got one
-
I went to tighten it this morning but it wasn't very loose. Im off to buy the washers now. To get at the bolt i moved the inlet pipe and when i disconnected it i noticed some oil in there.. im guess this probably isn't good. Id still really like to get a professional to check it over once im done so im open to suggestions
-
Cheers guys. Once I've got some light Il check it again and post back.
-
I hope that's all it is. Il try tightening it tomorrow. Is there any recommended shops i can take this too to get it checked over for anything else?

Just got r33 gtst allready have an oil leak. Need help/advice Hi everybody i come here with my hat in my hands needing some advice. A few days ago i purchased a r33 gtst from the owner of a performance shop in Sydney its got the following New engine with unknown k's pod, exhaust, screamer pipe stock intercooler stock ecu stock turbo @ 11psi told it dyno'd 190kw It went hard on a test drive but since picking it up its started idling rough and today after taking it for a long drive i noticed a puddle of oil underneath, popped the bonnet and seen its pissed half(according to the dipstick) its oil out through the oil line to the turbo? So i got back onto the bloke and he told me to top it up with 20/50 and bring it back around.... Now i fix computers for a living but 20/50 in a RB doesn't sound right. Any input/advice on what to do or who to take it to is really appreciated.
