need to find out what kind of flange is needed for the dump pipe on the gloria. Everyones pretty confident it would be the 5-stud oval shape thats so common, but best way to find out is get a gasket from Nissan. but they said its going to take 3 weeks from japan. R33 turbo has 5 bolt oval type? would they have local stock of that you reckon?

R33 is 6 bolt, unsure of VQ turbos. Scotty would know

fixed.

best we can do is assume its the same as stagea, but you never really know till you see it. (or is nissan FAST would bring up a picture of the gasket/turbo)

Have you got any pics off the net? it's been a while since I saw the back of the turbo, but I thought the flange was the same as the stagea. The dump is very different.

Wow that's actually an oval... R33 is a 6 bolt and it's more of a bean shape, comes in a bit in the middle...

Wonder if this is 5 bolt purely so it is accessible? Does the dump curve down pretty sharply, making a 6th bolt on the bottom not possible?

inb4 custom made $100 gasket required. Is yours actually leaking or you're just looking to freshen up certain parts?

I have gaskets in stock, and stainless flanges. You found someone else to do it?

but we're just assuming the shape? once i get the gasket it should confirm the shape. just saves time on having it off. you're going to have to make the dump regardless of whether its the same as stagea, non?

So 12 months and 3 RS Turbos later finally feel the pain of the glass subi 5 speed.

Limiter launch on a box with almost 300,000kms on it which was also from a car which was previously stolen and thrashed and had copped plenty of lower RPM launches isn't really as glass as everyone makes them out to be though. Smashed on Friday night driving again Sunday night. $50 replacement box, try doing that with a Nissan :P

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
