Apologies for the late reply. No problems with them so far. Of course, singles are a better option these days for outright performance, but I didn't want to lose the original form factor of the engine bay. I also wanted to continue bringing my car to a Nismo Performance Center without many complications. I have yet to put the car on a dyno, but when I do I'll post the chart for everyone's enjoyment 😉

They've been installed for nearly 1 year now.

Located in Japan. USD preferred, but any currency is welcomed. -

I wish 😂. A career change paired with an upcoming big move to another prefecture is prompting the expedited service.
-
My local tuner recommended the kit to me knowing that are many other healthy options. Due to my time constraints, I made the purchase.

Thanks for the insight! I think you and I are similar in regards to bolt on options. There are better turbos out there in the form of a single, but I prefer to keep the form factor and appearance as close to stock as possible. Also, it's way easier to work with certain Japanese Nissan dealerships if things look mostly stock. A lot less questions asked and a lot less refusals to perform basic maintenance.
-
Are you testing these then? Or currently running them? I'm trying them out because they were easy to source while I'm living in Japan. Going through an engine rebuild and I needed turbos rather quickly. We're either going to be these or the Tomei T550B kit
-
I actually already purchased these turbos. Let's hope that they can back up HKS's claims!

Unless GCG decides to start offering custom orders of the GTX2860 Gen II's, it appears that Garrett has stopped making them. I'm being told that only the 2867s are being made. If my desire is to remain in the twin turbo configuration, are the GTIII-2530s still worth considering?

int FS: Custom Twin Turbo Kit
Mbest12 posted a topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
I have for sell a twin turbo kit completely assembled and prepped by Spectrum Motorsport Solutions based out of Vancouver Canada. They are absolutely brand new and never fitted. The reason for the sell is due to receiving a great deal on a Nismo R3 turbo kit and I am a brand whore lol. Turbo Specs: Comp. - .42A/R Housing w/ 47mm Billet Compressor Turbine. - .48A/R Housing w/ ported wastegate and 54/47mm RS Turbine wheel The flow characteristics are very similar to the Garret GTX2860 , but with improved response on both ends. Good for a reliable 600-650 hp build. Hotside is ceramic coated and billet compressor housing inserts have been upgraded. $2200 USD with shipping included anywhere in USA/Canada. Willing to ship internationally for an additional cost. Not currently accepting offers. Thanks for looking! -
Hi Agret, It's anyone's guess as to how many miles this thing tuly has. Odometer is incorrect. Judging by its condition and the parts replaced by the previous owner, I'd say just over 100,000 km. Small work to be done on the exterior and interior but it's in good shape. I'm afraid the previous owner did cut corners with the interior but most of those issues have been corrected. Not hard to find one since it's JDM, but I would say it's moderately difficult to find one in impeccable condition. I purchased mine from a dealership in Kanagawa close to Tokyo. And yes, I do have small mountain passes in my area ?

PAR gearset fo street gtr's
Mbest12 replied to denisgtr's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Haysam is standing firm with his opinion that the Nissan input shaft will suffice for my application and goals. However, I'd like to future proof my vehicle whenever I can so I'll still opt for a new clutch and the larger shaft. Maybe even a carbon drive shaft now that I've fallen pretty deep into the rabbit hole. Thanks guys! -
PAR gearset fo street gtr's
Mbest12 replied to denisgtr's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
I'll admit that I inherited the synchro issue with the purchase of the vehicle and just never got around to correcting the issue until recently. I'd like to keep the synchro engagement while it's a daily driver to help save money (and now put the money towards a new clutch ?). And since I'm upgrading the clutch I'll also upgrade the shaft. Where did No doubt that a billet center plate will be installed as well. I'll make the jump to the dog engagement when it's time for circuit work. Thanks for your feedback! -
PAR gearset fo street gtr's
Mbest12 replied to denisgtr's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
600ish hp to the wheels is desired, but I just used the figure to give everyone a general idea of how the car will be modified. My first gear synchro is starting to go bad and I wanted to take advantage of the future transmission labour. At this moment the upgrade is a want, but the car will eventually be used for primarily circuit work which is why I think the PAR gearbox with 1st-4th syncromesh engagement is an excellent compromise. Especially with my current clutch and power level. But I also understand your reasoning and may opt for at least a twin plate from a reputable brand or what you recommended earlier in the thread. -
Thanks guys. I like focusing on the minor details and don't think that the car's overall quality should be disregarded due to age.

How critical is the need to replace the Nissan shaft with a GM/Holinger? It appears that I cannot swap the spline on my Nismo Copper mix clutch kit and I'd rather not have to purchase another kit. I don't intend on surpassing 600hp and PAR says that if I'm not chasing 1000hp I should be ok. -
Hello all. I've been a GTR owner for 1 year and I'm proud to be a part of the SAU community after only being an observer. I'm originally from the US but have been living in Japan for the past few years. Purchasing a GTR has been a goal of mine while living here since sourcing hard-to-find parts locally and from Australia is relatively easy compared to the US from my experience. I've always favored the R33 styling over the other generations and I'm fortunate to have found a Series 3 with very little rust. My main goal is restoration/modernization instead of power upgrades while I continuing to learn the car and it's characteristics. I'm just fortunate enough to know that there are literally decades worth of discussions and data to sift through to expand my knowledge about this fantastic machine. I look forward to chatting with you all!
