Found this other thread ( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Re...-R-t216074.html ) when I was looking for some information, posted a reply there before I realised where it was located, might get a bit more of a response here..

Basically, I have the originals out, the new ones all rigged up ready to go back in. I was looking at the task in front of me and wondered if it was easier to do front turbo first, then the rear one coming up from under the car?

Or is the rear first, then the front the way to go, same as removal?

Thanks for the reply.

Thats the way I was going to do them, but thought there may be a slightly smarter way of going about it.

The only reason I can think to take the motor out at the same time is if you want to do oil pump, crank snout mods or anything else internal.. not really worth it otherwise for a backyarder. If I was paying someone to do it then it might be different.

It wasn't all that painful to get the originals out, even with my mitts, and I hadn't done it before.

Picked up a set of old mines' dumps in stainless. Good condition as well.

Hey mate!

Saw you read through my thread, i got mine out ok after a lot of trial and error haha. Im in the process at the moment of putting it all back on and so far so good. If you have some questions or anything you think i could answer (or have a go at answering) just yell! For the record, i got mine out front first then rear and found it to be fairly easy and i am refitting in the same manner with rear first and front second.

And there we go, decided to stick my head in the sand and do it totally different.

Threw the front turbo in, then bolted both manifolds on, slipped the rear turbo in from underneath, then bolted both turbos to manifolds.

After this worked from underneath and bolted the oil and water lines up, oil drains, and braces.

Seemed to be a lot nicer doing it this way than when I took the stockers out (the advised way), those manifold nuts and the oil and water lines on bits that had been sitting there for so many years was enough to give me major irrits.

All this work to fit new parts and I'll never get to show them off. looks damn near stock with the original heatshields back in place.

Just left to fit the rad back in, air filters and piping, then the new injectors. Only been in the shed for 5 1/2 months so far.. can't rush things.

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
