    Hot side worked out perfect...


    Now...don't laugh...the outlet from the ht18 is only 40mm....tiny!!! Then trying to ramp that up to a 3" pipe!!!

    So after rotating the ht18 outlet elbow around I noticed the original cross over pipe has the exact bend I wanted and the cross over itself goes from 40mm up to 2". It fitted perfect, missed everything and ended up exactly where I wanted it, hugging the panel, missed everything and matches up to the 3" to 2" 45 degree reducer!!!

    It will do for now until I can upgrade everything.

    Anyways, I stuffed around for a couple of hours trying to move the wastegate down to allow the elbow to fit!!! I am confident in saying this cannot be done unless you weld on a plate as you just need an extra 10mm of plate.

    So before I threw the wastegate through my shed window I decided to get a plate welded on during this week and all done.

    Just need to mount the intercooler to the body and fit the grille back on which will be fun...lol

    Haven't bolted the clamps on below photos yet, few little tweaks with the hoses but its working!!!!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Wastegate: for such a simple modification it's been a pita to be honest.

    I'm also going to have to spend a bit of time bending that arm to make sure it not only fits but is correct placement for the actuation if that makes sense...
