I'm returning my car to stock to trade it in, so the turbo is coming off also.

GCG hiflow, which costs over $2000 for gcg to carry out the work. plus you have to supply the stock turbo for them.

I checked it about 1000-2000kms ago and there was no shaft play or leaking seals. It's never blown smoke etc.

can easily be boosted to 20psi+, but never seen over 1 bar.

Price is $1600 for the turbo, or $1300 plus good cond. stock turbo.

located in melbourne.

if sold before next sunday, i'll have some time to do both turbo removal and installs. (for a bit extra of course)

theres some pics from when i checked it, they were the only ones i got on my phone.

price now $1200 with swap, or $1400 without.

i'd say 20-30,000kms on the turbo. max boost this things seen is 1 bar, which is a walk in the park for this thing. i just never got the injectors n afm to go any higher.

not sure exactly what rpm i saw 10psi, but this thing felt like it had the same lag as stock. from just watching the boost gauge and the revs, it seemed like it hit 1 bar at approx 3000rpm. its still on the car so i can take you for a spin if you want and you can feel it for yourself.

just saw your in nsw so maybe the spin option will be a bit difficult. lol

Yeah, if only I was in Melbourne it would be so easy... I'm keen on the turbo, but can't be without my current turbo for a few weeks waiting for yours to arrive (as I need the car on the road)

my numbers 0423 366 118. call me when you find out to give me some notice. It's currently running 10psi on a stock computer, but it's still quicker than my mates r34 gtt running 1 bar.

    • Nothing wears "the most". Different cars will always show signs in a different place. 114000 km is either nothing at all (as in, given the calendar age, nearly brand new) or it's completely unbelievable. We stopped believing numbers like that about 15 years ago. Having said that, my car is up around 270000 km and I have put bushes into some places** as many as 10 times in >25 years that I've owned it. ** FUCAs, which are different on an R32 than on a 33, so not likely to be the same issue for you. I have original ball joints all the way around. They are perfectly fine. Same with the spindle bearings in the front. Tie rod ends have all been done at least once though. Pretty much every other bush in the car has been done at least twice. Some of those in the first 100000km after I got it (which was at a genuine 23000!). Some of those bushes are now sphericals, and they are on a <cough> regular maintenance schedule, hence why my FUCAs have been rebuilt so many times. Half of those 10 in the count above would be in the last few years! 'twere I you, I would budget on replacing everything, for fun and prevention. If they really are 30 year old rubber, they will all be unpleasantly aged in one way or another. Whether that's corrosion of shells, or the rubber cracking, or sagging under the load, etc etc.
    • Tighten until it starts to get loose again, then back off 1/4 turn?
    • Do them as you'll find when you remove them they are perished/dried.    Its probably one of the best things to do as makes the car so much more responsive. Do ball joints while there too.
    • Hi All Got an R33, about 114,000km on the clock.  Handles very nice, no signs of issues.    Engine is out and i'm doing an underbody refresh, mainly painting subframe, cosmetics etc. Can't see anything physically giving play, but I'm wondering which bushes are the ones that wear the most, or the first ones that may give problems down the track? For good measure I'm thinking to fit new ones. Thanks
