Had mine done at Boostworx ! took a while but great job

i would things take a bit longer to be done and be done properly instead of rushing someone to finish it to only take longer in the long run

Well I left my number at Boostworx waiting for them to call them back, but I think they forgot... Might give it another try next week. (I won't have my turbos soon anyways, probably 2 weeks away)

When I'm getting the turbos put in, is there any other fittings/bits & peices that I would need? perhaps the turbo gaskets? ($275 from Just Jap)

Also I dropped by AM Performance today and had a good chat to Andrew, hopefully getting him to put on a full exhaust system for me (dump, front pipe, cat, catback)

Saw Heslos car under covers getting some work done. Looks mint, would sound mean with the new exhaust for sure!

Cheers mate, not getting any exhaust work done, Andrew took care of that long ago. I took it there to use his hoist to rip the head off for a port/polish. Should get it back mid next week, looking forward to it. You can't go wrong with Andrews work mate, simply awesome stuff!

you would need a bucket load of coolant as well mate.....and gaskets for sure.....also copper washers would be good investment and braided lines if its not coming with the turbo

+1 to getting the AM treatment....he does awesome work for the price you pay.....and has awesome customer service as well

fingers crossed it doesn't but ill let you guys know on how it all goes tomorrow night (hopefully).

did anybody know that there were two types of nistune? and one cant be edited or something like that.

according to jaustech they cant remap jeff's nistune.

can anyone explain this for me. i would have thought he'd tell me that his was a different tune

I can't see how you're gonna get a turbo install for $350. Esp in a GTR. Are you changing any gaskets? Any copper washers? Any studs? If not, poor choice, you'll probably have to take it all off again when you realise you have an exhaust leak or snapped stud

not a gtr unfortunately, i just hacked the other guys thread haha.

the guy said inc all that stuff, guess ill find out tomoz, ill replace nething that needs replacing, the old turbo was working fine and holding boost nicely though

    • 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?
