lookin' good!

[mattk]

wow that is one fine looking skyrine. keep up the good work

[Supraclean]

R33 for sure works. Found a pic of one in my vert. The clear bucket holding the fluid has a funny shape to it. Its about an inch shorter. Only some S13 ones are short and I cant remember if the stubby ones are as short as an r33.

Hey perfect pic, thanx man Ill be on the lookout for one. Do you have to get rid of you vert? that thing is sexy and would love to picj it up if I had the bones. Thankyou for the comments guys I try my best.

Updates!!

I'm still tossing around the braided oil/coolant feed for the turbo around.. It's my last step before installing my new turbo and a tune this saturday.. Still not sure how i'm going to go about this...

Lol @ gumby. I have him and pokey in my car too.. LOL

[Supraclean]

Haha sorry been busy with other goodies latly! Yes I will share with ya MArkyMArc!

You have pokey? win, yea he inspires my build for sure. Ill get on the pics 2nite for you.

[nelsonmxmarc]

Excellent!

I think you either pm'ed me or wrote on fb about these lines earlier in the month? I completely FORGOT to msg you back. That day, i actually spent measuring the line sizes etc.. Somewhere along the road i've lost that paper, so i'm going to attempt to clear that up again this afternoon lol

And ya, pokey + gumby combo, serious work force

Another Update!

Ok guys I have been super busy with geting the car back together/fitting lines fabing up custom intercooler piping and to many things to list.

Here is my Oil/Coolant lines from my topmount setup as Promised:

Oil feed/Drain, Coolant Feed


-10 An Oil Drain


-10 An custom Aluminum Fitting for Gt28-gt40 Series Turbos


Earls 3/4 BPT to -10An Fitting


Coolant Feed that conects to metal nipple under the back of intake plenum:


Last but not least Coolant Return:


Basicly your fitting choices will depend on your turbo setup/ manifold choice/ Steel or Aluminum/ and $$$

After Doing my Oil cooler/Relocation lines I didnt want to spend the $$$ and cut fingers/loss of blood on all Earls fittings. Mine was sourced with Half Earls/ half from the Local hydraulic shop.

I forgot to snap a picture of them all test fitted as my car in at a secret location atm geting secret things done:P

Also remeber that depending on your setup/type of Exhaust wheel/ turbo manufacture/ operating Oil temp you most liking will need a Restrictor on your turbo Oil Feed. I have both a Restirctive and Non Restrictive fittings. Going to be checking with my tuners aswell.

Hope that Helps Marc, also to mention prepare to spend a fair decent amount if you are not building your lines. You can get custom ones made from places on the internet like ATP Turbo.

Ill leave you guys with a couple progress shots:

very nice.

Just make sure you heat wrap that downpipe.

How much did it cost for the oil drain set up? The only thing I haven't gone AN- is the oil drain. Thinking of doing that soon for more reliability.

[Supraclean]

Yea what are your thought on Heat wrap Mike? The metal will crystallize faster there for more likely to crack at the welds not? I figured if I protect all the other vacum/lines for wastegate and Wideband with DEI reflect-a-gold heat tape I should be ok. DEI titanium wrap looks really good tho so I do have time to wrap it up.

All said and done the Drain setup cost me $100 give or take. Im super happy with it so far but obvously have not had the car running. Pm if ya need more details.

[M13]

I thought about the reduced reliability of metal by heatwrapping, however I've had my set up for 2 years and it has not cracked from driving over 20,000KM.

The reduced engine bay temp is def worth it. The headers will crack long before the downpipe will. Also, I recommend DEI turbo blanket as that made a phenomenal difference in the engine bay temp and heat soak issues.

Good call on the heat wrap then man, I think you just convinced me. As for the turbo blanket is should be here 2morrow:P After seen it in all the Dsport mags and your build I think it will defiantly help. Plus with you now confirming this I think it was money well spent.

Im excited for this weekend. She finally gets new fluids after 2 years! Redline shock proof for the tranny and Amsoil 10-40 for the engine. Maybe If im lucky possible startup aswell:P

Also cover up the coolant hoses near firewall. Can cause a fire on racetrack. Look on SAU forum for the result of those hoses failing on a RB20DET powered R32, coolant burning on exhaust which created a engine bay fire.

Looks awesome! Love the colour scheme with the orange.
