cheers for the input all. i spoke to someone who sells garret turbo's and they recomended a gt3540R.

whats everyone else's opinion on that?

ta. James.

Does this guys name satrt with T and his company start with R?

If so thats what he recomemded to me as well.

arnt adaptors a little dodgy?, and with and adaptor do you think it will still bolt up to standard postion?

i was asking gcg about there highflows and response, they were telling me they reckon there highflow will spool up just as fast as stock, and be just as responsive, does that compute?, i would have thought with bigger wheels etc, it would be laggier?

looking on nengun, i see HKS GT Sports Turbine Kit, which is a 2530KAI

Then they also do a 2530KAI kit aswell, not sure the difference, did a bit of searching and cant find much, but does anyone no the differences of the KAI model compared to a normal 2530, cheers

Edited by Jolinator

The kai is good for about 215rwkw on an rb25 with near stock response. The car in question is pretty bloody quick, dont let the low peak power fool you.

I haven't been able to find specs on the turbo either, HKS only have specs for the old one on the web site.

Whatever hks did to it they killed the top end as on the same dyno with the same tuner an sr with old 2530 made about 225 the day after the rb25 was tuned

this blokes name started with M and the companys name started with G.....

i think he A: hasnt had any experience with turboes on rb20's before

or B: was just trying to make me spend more cash... wankers....

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
