But I'll be seeing it today

LoL, it's funny cause it's true. See pics below.

Anyways, uh yeah SO Kelaog, you still going to take your GTR to the meet? Would I be able to hitch a ride if so?

Car as is right this minute >_<


It all started with the simplest f*cking task of just changing an o2 sensor. However, I was too impatient to wait and buy the proper o2 sensor socket tool and ended up trying to remove the heat shield to make space for a wrench to fit and snapped to bolts connecting the turbo the downpipe holding the brace for the heat shield plate. I've come to the fact that I cant remove the broken bolts with the turbo still on the engine so I'm currently in the process of removing it.

Downpipe removed

Almost done removing


I decide to leave draining the coolent and oil lines connected to the turbo so I'm going to do that first thing tomorrow morning and then I guess I'm gonna have to wait on new gaskets from nissan. I'll probably end up cleaning everything up and do a check up on the turbo while it's off.

Also, what the F*CK is this? I found it in the top of the pipe coming up from the rubber booty (that runs between maf and turbo) and to the hose that leads to the first pcv valve thingy. Is it suppos'd to be there?

It's like plumbers brush or something.

Sorry to dissapoint you guys, I was really hoping to make this meet but my car has other plans for me now >_<

[Chris_RB]

doesn't look like you're going anywhere any time real soon Ryan!! lol, that sucks. Been there...

[kelaog]

Looks like a boost restrictor of some sort.

Was it between the actuator and the wastegate arm?

Weird.

Ryan, I can't remember if that downpipe was stock or not, but you should replace it with one with a divorced downpipe or something . That would really make that thing sound alive!

Yes a ride out is an option, provided my car isn't hitting the bricks. If so I'll take the concord

I had a brush like that in mine to. I ended up running new nylon hose and threw that **** out. I think it's suppose to catch the oil in the air but I don't really give a **** about my rb20. Better off running a catch can

Oh dang, I have one for sale, Ryan lol, and... you get special pricing.

LoL, dude you have no idea how poor I am. I just bought a drill to try and drill those bolts out without removing the turbo and guess what, I couldn't get it centerd and ended up having to remove the turbo anyways. I have to see how fast Adam can get me those gaskets. Yes I'm getting new one's as getting the turbo off was a b*tch itself but finding out the gaskets are leaking and even the thought of having to remove everything again would ruin me. Turbo is off, I'll try and get some pics up.

Turbo out of the car before I cleaned it up





After cleaning up part one (not done cleaning but so far)

[Chris_RB]

Thats a clean turbo!!!

nice work.

[RyanGTS-T]

Thats a clean turbo!!!

nice work.

That's just a taste of clean. It hasn't seen the wire wheel yet.

These are Kelaog's R32 GTR (RB26DETT) downpipes. One has been cleaned and polished. Unfortunatly I used up the wire wheel on it and haven't been able to finish it.

[TheKidd147]

Nice! Thats looking clean Ryan Hows the repair coming along??

It's not!




LoL, I'm waiting on parts from japan. And I just got a job working graveyards. I'm gonna make my dad come and pick me up at 3:00 in the morning. I basically have to drill out those two bolts and retap the holes. Reasemble, add coolent, and take it for a spin, once my parts arrive.
