right stock coolant lines for turbo u have 1 into the block and 1 into the rear of the intake right

the line that go's into the block there is a coolant bleed bolt to drain coolant out of block right

okay, Search for the greddy Style intake manifold intsall thread. because i'm not close to my car to take pics. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/to...+intake+install

scroll down and in one of the pictures he joins 2 coolant lines together with a piece of fuel pipe off-cut. now rather than join the coolant line the goes behind the block, just connect it from the turbo to where he joins it up in the photo.

i hope you understand... say if you dont!

hope this helps

Think i know wat your saying, on the side of the block is a coolant supply for the turbo, theres also an oil supply for the turbo, i dont know of a third coolant supply or "bleed" bolt being on there too, and if you use the Greddy plenum, though i dont have one or have much of an idea how they work i beleive the coolant supply still comes off the intake plenum somewhere, though alot of 26's use a coolant line off the top radiator hose to supply the turbo. I think this is rite...anyone know if im talking crap or not?

No u cant use that bleed bolt as return line (even though its close and would be much easier), your coolant for the turbo wont circulate thru the system and you will eventually cook the turbo

my mate learnt this the hard way after killing 2 GT35r turbos, you need to run it from around the other side of the block necause that line picks up coolant thats already been circulated thru the block/radiator etc

hope it makes sense lol just dont do it ok.

      I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time.

      I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap

      I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.

      SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.

      I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).
