Hi all,
So I fitted a pair of new Garrett -9 turbos to my R34 GT-R (new genuine gaskets/washers etc) and once I put it all back together & fluids back in I noticed I had coolant leaking from my rear turbo Eye bolt water line. Here a pic of what I mean:
Then I remembered that I had forgotten the special note on the R32 GT-R workshop manual (couldnt find R34 GT-R's but should be the same?) that stated:
I only now realised this is to make it easier to fit the eye bolt without damaging the copper crush washers etc. Naturally I'm like FFS! >,<
Anyhoo long story short I got new/genuine copper crush washers and followed the above instruction and re-fitted eye bolt & both washers (easier now that it was loose). Confident that it should be right now I added coolant and bam - its still leaking!! So my question to you guys now is have I f#cked up the threaded connection of the eye bolt to turbo?? Ie - the Eye bolt thread looked fine but Im thinking the mating side? Confused as to what it could be now Any help would be greatly appreciated!
