NYTSKY

hey Chris finally after all this time the new turbo is in. There is a stock r33 turbo here for you,suprisingly no shaft play

OK guys i bled the cooling system properly and temps are 78-80 as normal. Took the car for a little drive around the block and the new turbo sounds awesome. Laggier that stock thats for sure.Didnt want to boost it or rev it too hard before i get the tune done,so all and all it went ok.

OK guys, i got to the water line by removing the LHS rocker cover,it was right there.Pulled it off and attached my new line. Bolted everything back together last night,filled her up will oil and coolant and gave her a few kicks over to get some oil around the motor. I started it let it run for a few mins then incounted an oil leak(oil inlet to turbo).As it was 1am i deceided to leave it till the morning. OK this morning i went out and bought a 15mm socket and 3/8 ball joiner and tightened up the banjo bolt as much as room would allow. Started it up and the oil leak was fixed.As usual alot of smoke was coming from oil covered parts as the motor and turbo warmed up. After 10 mins idling the smoke was gone but the PFC was recording a 94 deg in the motor so shut it off. Probably didnt let the coolant flow through the motor long enough before i put the radiator cap on. Keep you posted,

OK i have the turbo off the car (fun 3-4hrs) I went to pirtek and got some braided lines made to suit the factory lines. The new banjo bolt for the stock oil inlet line is.5mm smaller than stock,i think ill get away with keeping the oil inlet line as is,the washers should prevent any leaks fingers crossed. Oh and i managed to snap the top 2 exhaust flange bolts grrrrr luckily im not using that turbo anymore.Apart from the running around getting some new bolts and a couple of spanners its going ok(for now). The hard part will be removing the water line that runs around the back of the block. If anyone can give me some advice in removing it will be appreciated. From what i can see ill need to remove the coil cover and get my hand down there.But i think putting the new line on will be a PAIN.

Also which water line is which: 1) this water line has two banjos on it? 2) this water line has one banjo on it? Im assuming the water line with one banjo in the water feed??

OK after a hard day of thinking and calling a few places this is what ive come up with. The Garrett ball bearing cartridge has different banjo sizes to the stock cartridge,so ill either need to get braided lines made to fit the new size banjo(expensive) or cut the stock banjo off the water lines (turbo end) and get a length of braided hose to clamp to the lines then clamp to the new banjo.Will work,but a little dodgey.This will also save me taking the lines off themselves. Ive managed to get another set of lines off a friend (oil and water) should i get pirtek to modify the lines by fitting the new banjo on? They would have to make sure they get new angle of the new banjo facing the exact way otherwise it wont go on to the turbo properly.

This weekend im planning on installing my highflowed turbo with 0P6 rear housing. While inspecting the turbo and all the fittings that came with it,i noticed that the water banjos that were supplied looked to be 19mm. These fit into the new Garrett cartridge. The stock ones to my understanding are 24mm. So how am i going to get the 24mm banjo head to fit around the 17mm banjo bolt for the new cartridge? Also the new banjo heads have a barb like thread (like t-pieces for vacuum lines) Has anyone come across this before? The turbo was highflowed by Precision turbos.

R34 and VG30 rear housing are identical.

Are the timing belts still available? if so ill take one

A decent clutch.Because at 18psi you will probably make between 280-300rwkw.

Nice work. There is another skyline RB25 on here that runs a dry sump setup.Its used for drag racing. Campbell is his name on here. This is a video of his car.

Oh i almost forgot.There was a remote for what looked like a very expensive kenwood head unit with TV and DVD player in my centre console. Also has anyone got those 2 antennas in the boot? They are a kind of rabbit ear things you would find on older TVs. Coz they are in my boot still connected.I think they must have been for the TV thing. Sucks to the guy who now has an expensive head unit with no remote lol

If you are upgrading the clutch plate you might as well upgrade the pressure plate too.They come in kits anyway.If your budget allows do the flywheel.Saves taking the box out again.

The flare is still in mine.I keep it there just incase i break down in fog,or i got to a spanish soccer match

My car is getting a new turbo in the next 2 weeks.(VG30 highflow) Just wondering if the stock heat shield will fit back on after the install of the new turbo? Or should i bin it and buy a Turbo beanie. What size beanie do i get if i were to get one?

Gold.

Id say if you start modifying your car for more power,the first thing i would get is an upgraded clutch. Mine was slipping at 170rwkw, upgraded the clutch now will handle up to 300rwkw.

Cushion button kit from hi octane $530 $350 for install inc. flywheel machine from Kmart tyre and auto.

PM sent.

Offer is $200 delivered.

I cant believe all this crap happens in one year!

When i was installing my PFC i found an empty packet of Jap lollies and a packet of unopened tissues. But to find some coin is way better.Nice find. Oh and what you have there is worth nearly $10 aus

Anything over 200rwkw with those mods and 12psi is amazing. But all dynos are different.

Are the timing belts for RB25DET?

got mine thanks Pete.
