Well i dont wish to rain on your parade...

Considering that you can buy brand new GTSS turbos with all gaskets etc as a kit for 2800 off nengun.com and a 2530 turbo kit for the same price (without actuators), with all gaskets same case etc delivered, some people might not think its worth the gamble on paying 2k for used turbos and then spending another 300 bucks on gaskets.. levelling it to $2300.

The pain with nengun.com being the 1-2month wait.

I think your price is reasonable, personally id be willing to pay $1500 for the 2 and maybe 2k as a MAX for a used set. Its prob hard to compete on the forums when a few other guys are selling new rebuilt ones for your asking price (highflowed and nismo ones).

Then again its of opinion.

I have posted up a dyno sheet of 371rwkw with my 2530's, I have yet to see GTSS's come close to that, I dont think you can compare those 2. Pretty sure Dirt Garage ran a very low 10 with 2530's, and I know that Mine's prefers them.

Last week I drove an R33 GTR of a freinds who runs GTSS's, it makes 250rwkw, my S15 was quicker, but thanks for the input anyway.

Like I said I have just got an R34 GTR, I would rather fit them to that than sell them for less than they are worth. Your correct about second hand, but you can always check with Nigel (Racingline) to clarify the condition.

The reason I am, holding back on fitting them to the 34 is past experience, I just know I'm going to fit a T88H-38GK to it one day, I dont want to pay labour costs twice like I have before, but its an option.

cheers

Ahh..k, well I just made 264RW KW on friday on my gtr with stock dumps, stock turbos and the rest of a hks exhaust (front pipe, highflow cat + catback @ 3.5inch) @ 14psi.

Dno whats happenin with your mates gtr...

I believe the GTSS's will definately get you over 300 rear wheel kw.

Obviously they wont reach 2530 standards of power being 30hp or so less in flow per turbo (going by garretts specifications) but theyll prob cop 50kw less with more response. Depends what you want at the end of the day.

Anyway having previously owned a doneup s13, i dont think the GTR will ever feel as fast as the feel of a silvia based car or similiar. You just know your gtr is faster when you passively munch people off the line lol.

- But back to the topic, someone buy this guys turbos lol. - free bump.

Ok a noob question. :)

Are the 2530s the older version of the GTRS?

Yeah your mate's GTR with the GTSS making 250rwkw is definitely having some issues. Unless he is running on like 7psi or something. My gtr makes 265rwkw on stock turbos already. :banana:

Sloutch, there's dyno sheets, then there's dyno sheets. I have a Dyno sheet from a well respected tuner on this forum that shows my GTR making 378rwkw with 2530's, standard pump, standard airflow meters, 660cc inj, standard cams, on Shootout mode.

He then switched to his regular set up which gave an accurate figure of 331rwkw, runs done 5 minutes apart.

When the car was dynoed at Ice Performance, it registered 280rwkw, although the boost controller was off. After cams, Z32 AFM, Tomei fuel pump the car made 358rwkw, with further tuning it got to 371rwkw.

I wouldnt be surprised if it made 400+rwkw in Shootout mode.

I will not post the first 2 dyno sheets up because this guy is so well respected on here I would get shot down by everyone.

So Sloutch, is your dyno sheet in Shoot out mode ???? Who's dyno ?

?????? Please read the post extra extra CAREFULLY.

i'm not doubting your turbos can make 378rwkw.

i was just wondering howcome your mate's GTR with GTSS turbos only makes 250rwkw as quoted from you, that's all. So were you trying to say that people spend about $3,000 to buy and install a pair of GTSS to make less power than stock turbos?

I dynoed mine at Chasers with 14psi on 265rwkw. Anyway, good luck with the sale. These 2530s are good turbos for people who wants good response.

This thread is over a year old, well from its last responce.. and your comparison is a bit off.. his selling 2530's not GT-SS

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
