so ive recently purchaced a gt3076r and now looking at the dist between the manifold and the strut tower it looks like it might not fit down there..

has anyone done this/will i need to get a new topmount manifold?

thanks Simon G

Above is correct. I got a 3076 with a 10pm spacer on stock manifold. Fits on my r33. Don't think the engine bay is smaller in the r32 but I could he wrong. I know I can fit a 3540 on my stock manifold so I think you should be fine

adriano.. rotate housings? is that just a unbolt slide it round rebolt? does it affect the flow? can anyone else confirm this? :)

rotate the exhaust housing so that the oil feed sits at the top when the turbo is bolted to the manifold then rotate the comp housing to suit your cooler piping

mtq can get a spacer for you.

i did the exact same thing with my gt2876 .86 on my rb25. stock manifold. needed 2 spacers with extended hightensile studs though. mtq can supply all gaskets, lines and flangeplates you might need and for a very good price to.

Also have the same turbo, but on a 33.

+1 for Mtq having tons of stuff that you will need.

Also, The lines may be different to the ones on your apexi:

1. your apexi turbo is a 400hp turbo, this is a 550-600hp turbo and probably bigger and you may need longer/shorter lines.

2. We dont know what your apexi and your 3076r turbos cores are, meaning the type of bearing used in them. If 1 is a ball bearing and one is a journal bearing, the ball bearing requires significantly less oil whereas the journal bearing needs lots of oil - this is important for you to know.

so it probably just easier to get some new lines and fittings, they are not that expensive, I bought mine at a place called pirtek.

gl with it.

should these lines suffice? it says single ball bearing on there tho im not 100% but i think its a dual BB (at work atm cnt go look at it)

also once ive got it bolted on with correct lines n spacers etc.. is it safe to drive it or will i need a retune? and for a tune is it going to be costly seeming as its just being retuned to the turbo or is a tune just a full tune? :D

I would ring MTQ and order the lines and spacer all at once it wont be that expensive, I think it cost me about $200 and it all worked perfectly. You could probably drive it to a tune off boost but i wouldnt go further than that, and as for the retune mine was a little cheaper becasue they didnt have to do a lot to the lower rpm sections of the tune so it was a little cheaper than normal

      At SMSP, I mainly see Hondas, M cars, A90 Supras and of course, plenty of Evos. Have not seen a single R32 ro R34 Skyline on the night sessions that I've been to. That's really saying something.

      I like mine. Much better than stock. Like i said before the reverse/parking cameras look even worse than normal, still useable. When you buy one make sure it's the latest version. Heaps of cheap ones that run the old hardware and software. Got mine from AliExpress. Mine is quick no lag, boots up 1-2 sec. Menu is fast. Netflix is fine and so is YouTube. Android Auto is random taking 3sec to 15sec. Most of the time it's quick. Very rare it doesn't connect. But that could be a phone thing.   Now I think they use a Pixel 3XL to run this whole thing which i guess is fine, but the problem is that some apps will not work on old hardware like Disney Plus  Maybe Prime Video too 🤔. they will not update. Iv'e tried getting the APK Disney + but i still couldn't get it working. I have a Data sim installed so i have internet all the time. You can't Hotspot off your phone and connect Android Auto at the same time. Not that you need too, if you want you can hotspot off your phone and run any internet map app (google maps) and you can run the Spotify app on it's own (the app runs better than android auto) You can still access the INFINITI intouch system for all the o.g stuff    P.S i got new non Polarization Sunglasses too 😎

      I also don't mean to rain on your parade. But with a 5-10k budget for road only? I'd want to check confirmation that everything IS working correctly and I'm with @GTSBoy for a plan of action here. I'd be checking subframes, bushes, exhaust hangers, interior bits and generally QOL things and CONFIRMING they are working right before thinking about motor. You can get 250KW+ on stock RB26 hardware by simply removing the built in restrictors and tuning the stock ECU. If you want purity that's as far to take it, which I would be worried to do and won't think the budget would allow for when earnestly checking for 30+ year old car stuff.
