A proper GT30R unit number 700382-12 would work better with that .82AR turbine housing . GT3040's particularly the Garrett marketed one's are laggy because the GT40 compressor is too big for the GT30 turbine . A better compressor match is the GT37 series wheels used in HKS's GT3037 and that above mentioned Garrett marketed GT30R . In fact that GT30R uses the identical cartridge (CHRA) as HKS's GT3037 56 trim .

Many turbo shops try to say that GT30R 700382-12 is not available in Australia which is B/S , I know Brett from GCG can get them as no doubt others in Aus can if they try . Garrett at Chippingnorton may not stock them but not all Garrett turbos here have to be sourced through Jeffs joint .

Cheers A .

we run .82 on customer cars, start building boost at 2800rpm and see full at 4000rpm. very streetable and run 11.75 @ 121mph at track. lag will also depend on boost controller and intake runner length, cam timing, overall tune. I think 1.06 would be good for track if your on the bottle, otherwise too big, definetaly not streetable.

as my heading states.

just wondering when boost would be likely to come on. looking at getting a gt3040 with 0.7front,1.06rear housings. has anyone got this on there car.

cheers dan

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
