well - that guy shouldnt have said all that stuff about a trader on the forums - he should have discussed his options or whatever through emails/pm/phone

and he should have also done research that where someone is foolish enough to talk a lot of shit, he/she will be ridiculed like this

Does anyone else see what i see?

And no, im not talking about the lack of spelling

The bits of 9500rpm and 60,000km's stand out like a motor that isn't exactly fresh. :D

BBE or more appropriately BBQ. :P

How is your oil pressure, I don't believe you have answered?

A motor can appear fine when its not.. Guilt Toy's is a prime example, it began playing up 6months before it let go and began knocking.

But in all honestly... if you really have done 60,000km's and been flicking it to 9500rpm quite often its most definitely not going to be anything like a fresh motor. Its going to be worn and may very well have issues you are not aware of.

As the bearings showed signs of dirty oil you may have left a little swarf behind after drilling the oil restrictors out and or it was fitted up then later drilled out when you realised it had to be drilled out.

Is this the case as I believe in a previous post you made mention that you initially didn't know they had to be drilled out as it was a direct bolt on.

Aaron from slide the day i got turbo delivered sent a link explaining oil lines needed modding, in link it says to redrill banjo fittings to 6 mm and banjo oring (end off line to 55 mm ) this was all done as specs showed, even thou i got told originally it was strate bolt on

Never mind if I am wrong its my sceptical nature. :D

Slide has been kind enough to post pics and the report of what was wrong with the turbo... So you now know there was an oil supply problem. Can you possibly think of why there was an oil supply problem? Do you think it may have been the oil lines + a little swarf, engine oil pressure is lacking? Possibly a blocked oil galley turbo feed in the block?

Take the criticism on the chin and forget about it, try to work through with everyone and get to the bottom of what the problem was. It clearly wasn't a fauly turbo as the bearings showed lack of oil.

ive got a question, wouldnt it be right to say if he does it himself he has only himself to blame, hence would also void any type of warranty? what an idiot i mean if it is true 3-4 turbos since far out it would have to be a clear indication.

Meh wingers theres always one that is never happy.

NEXT time why dont you buy a non turbo car, save you some money and hasseling or get a "Professional to do it" no no i dont mean yourself

If anything this is good publicity for Slide as the public have been shown that he is a reputable and trusted trader.

I plan to get one of his hiflows when I mod my GTST up in the next few months.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
