before my turbo gets here i want to get all of my fittings ready so it all goes on at once. just a little warning:

DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARENT CONFIDENT. for a small fee Aaron from Sliding Performance can do all of these mods for you.

i took my turbo off a few days ago so i had all of the fittings laying around so i thought i'd start getting things ready.

i went to pirtek to get new washers which coast $25 for all new copper ones, and got some 6mm drill bits as well as some new circlips rings for the wastegate actuator (old ones looked a bit crappy), i got some 4mm and 5mm ones as i wasnt too sure which ones would work.

so i got to the banjo bolts:

the best thing to do would be to get them into a vice under a bench drill to get a 100% straight hole. if you've got access to something like this then go for it.

i didnt have access to one so i had to make do with what a vice grip and a steady hand.

this is how i held the bolt in the vice grip: (all pics were taken off camera phone)

make sure you're drilling is as straight. it shouldnt be too hard as the old hole should work as a countersink to get you started.

this is what the difference is:

the end result - two perfect 6mm holes:

so far thats all ive done, ive opted to have my oil line modified by Aaron but i might give it a go if i get bored.

dont forget the hard line too. thats if ya using it

yeah im getting Aaron to do that for me, or if i can find a place to do the brazing ill do it myself.

$25 for washers?

i got 8 all together @ $2.80 each which is around $22. i had to be somewhere so i didnt have time to cry over the price.

Good stuff Joe, whens the turbo get in? And which one did you pick?

I'm planning to get one for the R34 later on so would be interested to see the results you pull off.

im not too sure when it'll be here mate, but my old turbo was letting off a fair bit of oil so i took it off the road to be safe.

well i got bored so i thought i'd modify the oil line. you only need to modify the banjo fitting that sits on the motor, which on the oil line is the one closest to the loop.

i put the banjo fitting into a vice then centre punched it.

i got the 6mm drill bit out again and started drilling, making sure that it went straight down. im going to go around on monday or tuesday and try to find someone to braze it. ill find out how much it costs and report back.

a few pics.

i went and dropped off my oil line to get brazed.

apparently you need a brass plug to sit inside the 6mm hole, then braze around that so the braze has something to adhere to. its costing me $40 from an engineering workshop, theyre brazing and cleaning it all up for me to be ready to be bolted up.

i probably could've gotten it cheaper somewhere else but i wanted it done properly as im very pedantic when it comes to my car.

righteo.. ive got some pics of the end result.

seems though the oil lines arent copper. the guy i sent it to couldnt get braze to stick and thought it might be steel so he welded it as if he was welding to stainless steel, and it also isnt a copperey colour after he cleaned it up.. as you can see, it looks like stainless steel.

When i got my SlidingPerformance High-Flow, i was lucky to have a mate who works in an engineering shop, with lots of high-tech tools. He took it to work and i think used a TIG welder to fill the hole. I would recommend this technique to fill the hole, i remember brazing from highschool days and believe TIG would be HEAPS stronger. (looks like yours has been welded too)

Car is a R33 GTST. It has the Slide max oversize hi-flow with the VG30 rear on it.

The tuner was quite impressed with the results and the way the turb's performed

as he said by as early as 2200rpm it was at 5psi and by 3500 rpm it's at full boost

which in this case was set at 17psi.

nice figures mate! ofcorse i dont mind :P

thats the exact turbo ive ordered.

what supporting mods do you have?

Other mods are. Power Fc, FMIC, full exhaust, Nismo reg, Bosch 040, Z32 AFM and using

a turbotech boost controller which holds boost very well at that level. ;)

Oh and upgraded the clutch to a Exedy cushion button.

      R34 power steering

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I have done smoke test and can’t see any leak on high or low side.   checked pump and fluid can flow through. Removed the high pressure from steering and did smoke test and same on low side, no leak.   puzzled. Thinking why if it was all ok it suddenly went as car was off road for a year. Don’t want to disassemble pump yet as i can see fluid / air( compressor) can flow through with no issues

      Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
