Exhaust Dump Pipe Nissan R35 GT-R Twin Turbo VR38DETT ( 2 PCS per set) | eBay

Wow that's a great find! I was going to just use the gtr downpipe and modify them to fit.

Wonder if this is decent quality for a downpipe though..

Nice this is moving along great! So what's the next step? Putting the motor back in the car?

Right now I'm still waiting for the shop to finish up, then I can finally finish the oil/water lines and cut them to length.

Then it's ready to be put back in the car!

How are you planing on doing oil lines?

I would imagine he would run it like an aftermarket turbo install. Oil sandwich plate, and fittings for the oil pan.

And tapping coolant from the heater hose or TB hoses?

Correct. I'm really doing it similar to the all the aftermarket turbos, you can read a lot of 350z/370z TT kit manuals available online everywhere to get ideas.

Tapping the heater hoses using a 6AN Tee fitting, 4AN for the oil inlet and 8AN for oil return.

I was searching all weekend could not fined any manual just build post on forums. If some one have a install manual link please share.
So filter relocation will be necessary to add another plate for the oil lines?

Contact turbo kit manufacturers, they can provide the install manuals.

AAM does provide their TT install manual as a PDF on their website. Simply googling 350Z twin turbo manuals should bring up a lot of results.

Finally got the trans out!

Don't forget to replace that POS pilot bushing with a pilot bearing. Should be a Nismo part but I'm sure someone on here has the NSK#.

husam2012 · 04-10-2017, 06:47 PM

New update. Shop is machining the adapters tomorrow and hopefully will go pick them up tomorrow evening.

Ordered the zspeed stage 3 clutch+flywheel+CMAK delete $$$ and will be receiving it this week hopefully.

Also, I just received the Z1 motor mounts! They look awesome with the motor mount bracket.

Also, I'm dropping the transmission to install the CMAK kit and also so it's easier to put the engine back in first by itself.

Are the mounts actually needed for the kit install? Or is it something you're doing since it's out and apart anyway?

husam2012 · 04-14-2017, 05:04 PM

"reserve"

I'm hoping I can finish up a few more things tomorrow after work. I found a local GTR tuner who is interested in my project and will be tuning my car next month hopefully.
