yer those camera's stand out pretty easy.

The song "theres a hole in my bucket" come to mind when i have pulled my car apart. Got the drivers side cleaned up and ready for metal to be cut out and new stuff welded in, passengers side is worse. This will take all week

is it an expensive exercise ?

Hahaha no thanks

Anyone have ideas for how to make a pressure tester for my piping?

I'm thinking PVC end cap, drill small hole in side, insert bike tyre air screw part, seal around the edges and hook up to compressor.

Replace AFM with this item and listen for leaks in piping??

Will PVC withstand 10psi?

It will work, i have one that I run off my compressor. Just be careful not to over boost it though.

Less likely with a pushbike pump thaan a compressor but meh!

Please note that A J Wyllie Bridge on Gympie Road, Petrie is currently closed to traffic in both directions. An alternative route is available via Youngs Crossing Road, Petrie.

Advice has been received from Main Roads that the lower bridge may be opened late this afternoon. This will carry one lane of traffic in each direction. They have also provided advice that the high (southbound) bridge will be closed for some weeks due to extensive damage.

Weeks! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Time to find an alternative route to work...

Hahahahaha sweet... Yeah haven't decided if I'll use compressor or bike pump yet.

How did you block off the throttle? I only want to pressurise from air intake -> intake plenum (but not including the plenum)

I didnt block off the throttle.I just fit my pipe at the air intake then pressurise the whole system. Just rotate your engine till you find the sopt that holds pressure and pump away willis.

Uhhh........ please explain this? :)

Drivers side is almost finished, welding in shorts and singlet is fun, except for when you get sparks and burn a couple little holes in your arm. Hopefully will have the passengers side started tomorrow so i can get the car running again before thursday night

So it seems that big thick sound proofing/ heatsheild mat that sits on the fire wall doesn't like to be welded or to be near welding. Just had a minor fire

Hey Noel, you wouldn't have any RB25 upgrade injectors you want to get rid of would ya?

i lost track earlier, what turbs did you end up going with?

    • 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?
