Hello

I blew my turbo on my r32 gts-t and I am replacing it with a used stock one. I might have Nissan do it. My friends said that they would help me change it but I am wondering if I should let Nissan do this. Also what else should I check for when I change the turbo? Should I clean the turbo first, do I need to do a oil flush after this?

Help

Nissan dont know a thing in reality.

Your FAR better off talking to a workshop that specialises with imports and getting them to do the work.

If your friends are mechanically minded and know what they are doing, then its pretty straight forward and logical.

But if you arent that way minded, then i would leave it to a workshop personally.

I am in Japan. I live close to the Nissan factory. But I want to make sure to do it correctly. The Nissan people suggested that I change some of the hoses and gaskets when I install the new turbo. My friend said that when I intall the used turbo, I should do another engine oil flush. Is this the way to do it?

Help please!!!!!!!!

Your in japan?! ... bro i thought everyone in japan would specialize in this? thats where our skylines come from? lol but yeh its pretty straight forward man, make sure all the gaskets are right, and sealed in . It might be hard to take out the boltz that are connected to your turbo that screw in,they could rusted... since our skylines are 1994-1998 its bit long so yeh spray some WD40 or something and you should be fine :P

Ok cool, I have a 91 so I will use the WD40. People special in this, but there is a place where I can go that has a garage and tools and people who can help me put the turbo in myself, but I wanted to make sure that it is a job doable by non Nissan people.

Plus it will be much much cheaper than having Nissan do it.

Do I need to do another oil change when I do this?

Thanks!!!!

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
