hey guys,

Was looking under my hood today (STOCK r34 gtt) and i was just wondering where the location of the turbo is found?

Does the stock turbo look like any other snail shaped turbo? I can't seem to locate it lol. I know it's probably a really stupid question, but i must know!

thanks :)

Next to the passenger side strut tower.

it will be heavily concealed by pipes and heat shields.

its not that silly a question, when i was a teenager and only first getting my hands dirty it was like an epiphany moment when i found the turbo on a friends car. admittedly they thought that was really lame but i was still in awe of my own achievement :P

FI section delivers.

This. To the humerus thread directory please.

But yes, it's below heat shields and piping, you won't see it if you don't know what you're looking at. better chance of seeing it in it's "snail" entirety from underneath the vehicle.

If you look down beside your passengers shock tower, you should see this:

Its under that. Grab a torch and shine it around and follow the intercooler pipes. You'l see the NISSAN stamp on the compressor cover. Unless, its lol, and NA

its not that nice to look at anyway... :unsure: lol its a small crappy thing, best not seeing it .. keep it covered and send it to hypergear , when it comes back you can drool over it.. :yes: then you will be happy to have it naked for all to see lol :mage:

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity.

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
