howdy fellow vic members

well today I got my just jap dump/front pipe and high flow cat and me being the impatient kind wanna get this installed so I decided to call around a few place asking for quotes to just install these things for me. Now iv read and its 6 bolts on the turbo holding the dump/front pipes and flange and brackets underneath so thinking it will take only 30mins or so for a pro to do so I rang around.

now I understand its a small job so not many ppl wanna do it but just to try and squeeze extra money out of me they are all spinning shit about its a turbo of job. the turbo fas to come of to put the dump pipe on no matter how much I tell them no it doesn't they still don't listen and the lowest quote I got was $135 just to unbolt my stock pipes and bolt these up. :)

So I was wondering if there would be any one kind enough to install these for me? Ofcoarse you will be paid with a nice cold slab of beer :D

im in Rowville and work in the city and can come to you. Would love to get this done before this Friday for the night run im organizing.

Now its all factory setup atm but the bolts were undone 2 weeks ago when the turbo was removed to change manifold studs so im assuming undoing the bolts will be easy as and won't be jammed and rusted up.

Your help will be greatly appreciated :)

Yeah without a hoist its a LOT of dicking around mate.

It'll take half the time with one as you dont have to go up/down/up/down on a trolley jack. But it can be done (like all things)

I'd offer to help, but im too busy at the moment and wont be free before friday lol! Way too short time!

Don't be a tight ass, pay the $135, it's a bitch of a job without a hoist and those turbo bolts can be hard, can be tricky to get the heat shield to fit again too.

im a currie so its in my blood to be a tight ass :laughing-smiley-014:

but all sorted out. dads mate has a hoist i can use on saturday so ill take my time and do it. :rolleyes:

i didnt use a hoist to put my dump/front on. i just used a set of car ramps. no head f*kcs for me. was easy as. took about 1 hr all up. ash, if u need a hand yell out and ill give ya a hand.

I had mine fitted by an experiences mechanic.

1. You NEED a hoist for the car.

2. It will take around 2 hours to do the job if you know exactly what to do.

3. You may also need to bend the air con pipe (it is not a straight bolt on as JJR claims)

I can only assume that it will take some money to do this job unles you have friends in "high" places :rolleyes:

If you have/or can bring a jack and stands, we can do it in my garage :thumbsup:

thanks man ill just do it on saturday after we do the wheels. will be easier on the hoist and that way i can clean some oil near the gearbox aswell :rolleyes:

also when you say you had to bend you ac pipe could it be kinda like pushed out of the way or was it in the way alot that you had to bend it?

how much did you bend it?

thanks man ill just do it on saturday after we do the wheels. will be easier on the hoist and that way i can clean some oil near the gearbox aswell :rolleyes:

Yeah no worries man, will definitely be easier on a hoist!

There is a place up the road from my house where we can get the wheels done, unless you know somewhere thats good :thumbsup:

Talk more about it later!

    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
    • Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.
