looks good but no toll roads for me but we can work out some other way to avoid using them ...either way should be good

Easiest route would be to go straight up Springvale rd and join up with Whitehorse Road/Maroondah Hwy. Can pull up in the service road if we get seperated. +1 vote for Marysville.

yeh thats what i was going to say at the meet up

what cant you get your car tuned or did you break it was looking forward to having a look at it

as per the 'What have you done to your stagea today' thread.. he blew up his turbo AGAIN domokun.gif

Front bearing seized I would say, snapped the shaft, all at 8 psi. lol.

I will get it going for you Aaron, dont like seeing a grown man cry. :laugh: Just ride with me if it isn't running mate.

Couldnt make it to todays cruise, just too early for me. :ninja:

if the turbo failed at only 8psi and its been highflowed should there be some way they will fix it as it should not fail with minimal boost...send it back to them to see if it was a build fault

what scott said. shaft snapped in the centre. bearing seized the compressor wheel. all at 8psi, and at 2k revs.

The guy who built it has had a look and is covering it for warranty.

but the housing is getting machine and stage 2 sierra racing comp wheels are going in back and front, and reverting to bush core as theres less hassles than a custom BB Core(unless garret core)

Yeh scott im not pushing you dude. but your helping heaps! thanks man!

    • 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?
