An hour?? Nice work Clint. When I did mine I think I spent an hour unboxing it and marvelling at all the shiny, lol.

In that case you will do your turbo swap in half a day :whistling:

Why did you remove the headlight?

hahaha i removed the head light coz the instructions told me to. I guess it makes it easier to get the clamp and cooler piping through and to pull out the over flow bottle? not sure ?

either way its only three bolts that hold it in. I would have to say its one of the easiest cooler installs ive ever seen and @ $599 dilivered i dont think i could have done any better.

OK, I don't remember reading that - maybe that explains why it took me significantly longer than you :)

It's a good cooler & you got it for a good price. Cost me nearly $100 more a year ago, but I still think it was good value.

Works great & easy to install - that's why almost every M35 owner on here is using the HDI.

Not me Leon, but I have always been told I an a little 'different'. :P

Good job on the install Clint, what's next?

Yep, I know that (both that you don't use the HDI & that you are a little 'different', lol), that's why I said almost every M35 owner...

You would be the odd man out in that regard I think. I don't know of any other fmic's in use other than HDI & yours. Of course ignoring Alex's PNM.

Scotty mate, i have that much more respect for you bro..... I had a look at this place where there is apparently a turbo installed (I couldnt see sh!t) after removing most of the piping i still couldnt get in close enough to see a thing. so im going to give it a miss. Now here is my problem I have a car with a dead turbo so driving it to melbourne to get the Greddy ultimate, down and front pipe installed isnt really an option and i need a donar to send away to get Hi-flowed. then im gonna have to find a machanic to do the swap over. I'm in the singleton nsw, any ideas?

It's quite a job, worse than the GTR turbo's I am swapping at the moment though. :)

Can you drive it to Sydney? PM Craig. (Jetwreck) If not, I hope you find a good mech. He will hate you after this job. lol.

I can send a dump pipe up for Craig to fit if you give me some notice, no point putting the stock one back on...

I can possibly help with housings too, although the turbo I have here is perfect and I would prefer not to split it open.

Are you referring to the factory one? If so, LOL.

OK, 3 types in use :)

If I was to get some M35 fmic kits made....are the HDI one's the best design?

They do go together quite nicely; if anything I think a 600mm x 300mm core is a bit too big, probably about 600mm x 220mm would be spot on.

The other thing is; they can be had for as little as $580 now (free delivery) and the core is excellent. How much cheaper would your kits be?

Mine bolts under the intrusion bar allowing plenty of room for coolers and fans. Not sure how well it would fit with the stock front bar though.

+1, it would have to be a good core and cheap to beat the HDI, it's a quality item with cooler piping that actually fits.

      RB25DET Solid lifter conversion

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...

      r34 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
