ARe you selling it?

Got pics?

i'm about to return it back to the seller becoz it wont fit the r33 dump. It's a 300zx single turbo tho! the rear turbine is the same as VL turbo. If you wanna use it as to hybri highflow i dont think it will fit!! You need something esle!! it cost me $550 which is too much anyway if you have to mod the dump or something and importantly i dont think CGC will do it. :werd:

i dont have the pics but look similar to your photo except it has only water cool line, unlike r33 where it has two lines (water & oil).

i still have my vg30det turbo unsure if its ceramic but i think its plain bearing (plain bearing = steel wheel???) and a rb25det turbo both may be in good order.... both spin fine and have good wheels i can supply pics and numbers to anyone who is interested.... i know the rb25 turbo is rb25 100% sure i was sold the vg turbo as a vg turbo im 90% sure its vg turbo....

EDIT:: after looking at that pic of turbo mine is different it has a short straight bolt on fitting on the outlet of the comp cover it is t3 flange and it came with a very flat angled oil drain fitting presumably cause the turbos are so low on the vg engines so maybe its a goer??

here are a few pics for ya.... the turbine wheel wasnt oily like that when u got it i oiled the chra and i think it has wept thru over time cause of the way it has been sitting....

the numbers i can see are....45V3 on the comp cover there is a 2 on the inside of the outlet of the comp cover....

it has a 45v on the turbine housing and a 8 inside the inlet of the turbine housing....

the outlet size of the comp cover is quite large also and there is no step on the inlet of the comp cover like a typical rb series turbo....

Check out these two pics.

One says 45v and A on the exhaust housing and

The other says OP6 and what looks like an E or and F

Both are apparently from a VG30DET.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If your current chain of thought is, I'll go somewhere like pick and payless (or equivalent) and causally remove the bit of roof with your BYO grinder then casually weld that into your car... oof. It might sound easy but you will 100% end up with a warped roof. You say you'd prefer some ugly fab work, but I don't know if your prepared for how ugly this will be lol.  I've seen professional welders do similar but easier repairs and still end up with warped panels.  It is reasonable to assume that from your current skill level, you won't be able to do this cut and paste job while keeping flat panels.  Ok, but we are here to learn. This might be the go... jump on car sales, sort by price, buy the cheapest thing with rego and drive it home. This is your new practice vehicle. If you're thinking of doing the cut and paste job, try it on this car. Cut out the panel (hey it's a perfect fit) weld in the panel. See what you think of the results.  Next thing you could try, practice removing the entire roof in one piece by drilling out all the spot welds etc. Have a crack and welding the roof back on.

      I've never welded but I own a welder and I've always wanted to learn. In fact I had already looked at a 1 day welding course in Sydney.  I'd prefer some ugly metal fab than anything weak.  I'm challenging myself a lot with this car. For so many years I've just paid other people to do things and I've always been keen to learn and get better.

      Ok, thats a good starting point.  So before we start.... do you mind if the car say isn't a strong as it was before? My first thought is go excavating for rust. You'll be left with a gaping hole, that will be filled with fiberglass. You could make it look factory pretty easily but yeah, if you never crash it will never be an issue right? Before we look at other options, how confident are you welding?

      Oh this is my 1998 E39 5 series. It's worth more to me than financial value. It's a project car for me to love and work on without fear of f**king up something that has lots of value or that I need to keep running.

      I'm super realistic here. I love the car and want to keep it but I know it's days of perfect condition are well and truly over. I just want a fix that won't come back.
