MATE!!!!! nv033!!!!
have I got some news (call it good in a sense for you)
my R32 GTR with rebuilt steel wheel turbos from this very workshop (non-precision turbos) lasted exactly 1500km before turning into a pitts special...(oh thats the aerobatic aircraft you all have seen doing air displays over motor racing events.... yes massive white clouds of smoke out the back!!!)
I took my car immediately to DART automotive where the engine was built, trusting Jim as he is one of the few guys worth touching a GT-R in my opinion....
anyhow, they pulled the turbos off, whilst I was overseas, and confirmed they had both worn out the bearing material....hmmmm sounding awefully familiar!!!
long story short I took them out on returning to australia asking for an answer to why a rebuilt turbo could do this in such a small amount of time considering they were running stock boost !!!!
response????
"oh the oil supply or return lines are too small... blah blah blah!!!"
I went back to Jim in a panic, asking him to double and tripple check the oil lines, and he did so, showing superb oil flow and return.... no argument there, as I have seen it with my own eyes!!!
now I have the car back together with REAL TURBOS HKS GT-SS I will be going to visit said turbo builder armed with this knowledege....
he will have 3 options....
1) pay for ALL cost involved in replacing his faulty turbos!
2) rebuild turbos to new spec at his cost
3) see you in court mate
PS chris is a demi-god of parts just ask morgs!!!! oh and morgs knows all about my turbo story also....
anyone else please PM me regarding this issue!
