Hi, has anyone upgraded their turbo and have the old water and oil lines lying around? I desperately need these tonight or first thing tomorrow morning ..... I assume the R34 lines are the same too. Not sure about R32s, but if anyone knows that would be great too. I am happy to try anything at this point!

Thanks in advance!

yeah thanks heaps Darren for putting me onto Jason!!!

Thanks heaps Jason - they worked a treat! Put the standard turbo, dump and water/oil lines back in, in under 2 hours!

The car fired first time and didn't leak any oil. We had a small water leak due to a petrified/cracked original turbo water return hose (the nasty one that goes behind the engine) but other than that everything worked out awesomely. Thanks again!

If you need advice/help on custom oil/water lines PM Dangerman (Darren) and I am sure he will help you out. I hope your slide high-flow gets here soon!

David (brother-in-law) had someone rear-end his R33 and push him into another car Friday week ago and they have written it off.

So we spent all weekend pulling all his mods off and returning it to stock.

Since he had a Garrett 2530 the oil and water lines were not stock, so when I went to put the lines on the stock turbo I came up stumped (they hadn't kept the original lines when changing the turbo). So luckily Jason came to the rescue and sold me his stock lines.

I rang you today Matt, but it said your number is disconnected. I thought I saw your GTR in Norwood .... but didn't know you were back in town? But it had GTR wheels on it .... other than that was identical to yours!

Let me know how you go with the lines Jason, as I think I am going to get new ones made for the 2530 - the standard banjo bots and metal lines system seem a pretty crap system to me.

Good to hear it all came together in the end Andrew :domokun:

Sorry I didn't get back to you on Sun'. My humble apologies mate, I did ask Shaun on Sun' morning, but he forgot to check his spares pile - and I forgot to remind him. I owe you a beer!

no worries Matt, thanks for your help anyhow. I actually forgot to ring you/Shaun Sunday morning anyhow to say don't bother since I had sourced some from Jason. Ah well, it all worked out in the end, the car is now gone to the insurance mob to be auctioned (I might yet buy back the wreck for fun), and I have a 2530 64T sitting in my garage :)

So, I know that turbo isn't going on your car, but when IS it going on your car?

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
