hey guys. today I ended up replacing the stock dump pipe with a 3inch stainless steel pipe. While I was in the process of removing the old pipe I accidentally snapped two of the 13mm bolts on the back of the turbo :D Thankfully It was the top two bolts so I should be able to squeeze my little pistol drill in there without removing the turbo. I was just wondering what size drill bit I'd be best off using to drill the snapped bolts out.

Ended up buying some screw extractors. I don't know if that's what an 'easy-out' is but they didn't work at all. I ended up snapping one but luckily managed to get it out of the hole i'd drilled. After getting fed up with trying to get the 2 snapped bolts out i made a few calls and ended up taking the turbo to Edsway Engineering over at coopers plains. I can't speak highly enough of the guy that works there. Not only was he on holidays and came in just for me but it only cost me $20 to extract the 2 bolts out and re-thread the holes. The addy is 20/248 musgrave rd, coopers plains for anyone interested. And is it just me or is it friggin hard to bolt the oil and coolant lines back to the turbo? I must of spent at least an hour trying to line everything up.

Thats pretty good for a business to do that.

I have "Rigid" brand screw extractors, never found a snapped bolt they couldn't remove, cost me a fortune for the set but they are worth it in the end of the day.

Best way to solve the problems with those oil lines? braided lines!

Yep the oil and water lines can be a bitch to put back on, hopefully you put thte copper washes back in to otherwise they will end up leaking if they already havent.Next time get some freeze spray in a can (and put it on first before you even undo any of the nuts) similar to inox/wd40 it freezes the bolt or stud so shrinking it slightly and to 'crack' (Not literally) the join, then it gets down into the thread to then act a a lube, its good guys only about $15 a can from auto places.

Hey I've just started up my car since putting the turbo back on and the new dump pipe and there seems to be a bit of steam/smoke coming from the turbo area. i got a new gasket for the turbo flange to dump pipe and just reused the gasket from the turbo to exhaust manifold as it seemed in good condition. I reconnected all the oil and water lines properly so im wondering where this smoke could be coming from? Im afraid to start it up again now

      Rusty roof repair

      By Duncan · Posted

      Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

      SAUNSW - World Time Attack Challenge - 5 & 6 September

      By Keeper · Posted

      Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
