I just did a test fit for the new turbo, a t3-t4.

I think i would need a t3 flange as a spacer between the manifold and the turbo what do you think?

And for the wastegate, i was going to weld it on the manifold but i realize that i might not have the sapce i would need to.

I'm not to sure about this maybe you can help me?

Here's the picture of the place.

yes. you do.

i spotted one on my garage floor last weekend. I am not sure how it got there though lol

lol, since i'm in Canada, the shipping would cost more than the flange lol

I gotta find longer stud i guess!

And for the wastegate, any of you have an idea?

Oh and for the clearance, i turned by 20 degree anticlockwise the front housing, tell me that this was safe and i did'nt f**ked up my turbo!

Yes thats fine to do. The only thing you need to make of is that the oil drain is as close to vertical as possible.

You can get sandwich-plate type spacers that incorporate a wastegate into them but this effectively brings the turbo very close to the strut tower.

I reckon you could fit a wastegate on top of your manifold just where it collects at the turbo flange but alot of mucking around.

You could also weld the wastegate onto the actual turbine housing, again alot of mucking around because of the materials you are dealing with.

Considered going lowmount stainless manifold with gate of even highmount?

To make this possible, i will have to turn the rear housing by 90 degree. When i turn the front housing i doesn't change the slope of the oil drain.

As you can see on the picture, i received the turbo with the oil plug horizontal and the water plug vertical. I don't know if i can turn the rear housing also.

Do you have a picture of sandwich plate spacer? And where i can buy these?

Yeah i have consider going hight mount or low mount but i cant afford an hks at 1800$

I could pay 800 canadian $ tax in but i'm already over budget since a while lol

    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much

    • 😜 hopefully we get this instead of a new R36 GTR due to recent financial problems at Nissan. Nismo to sell a complete kit with RB26 and driveline. All starts making sense (ok maybe not) once the Nissan Leaf's (Leaves?) with stuffed EV motors/batteries hit the market cheap
