Both slide and VPW have informed me that Garrett AUS are out of cores for the GT30R series. I orderd a GT3040 .63 rear, and was informed mid feb that it would be ready. I went with VPW as they are gerographically closer to deal with for warranty proposes and my company deals with them, so FIS shipping.

Slide's price was the one of the best I could find in the country at this current time, he IS friggin cheap......a great thing for SAU users / members. Luckily I can wait as my car is going nowhere right now.

Go the 3076 you wont be dissapointed and there should still be good stocks of them (I have just waited 2 months for mine to turn up)

Edit:

Just checked with Morrie @ HPinabox he is out of stock again. He had several but they quickly went.

the .63 comes only as internal gate from memmory in the 3076

Nope I have a .63 external gate, you have three external options .63, .82 and 1.06 I think.

I personally dont like the 3040 it is a laggy turbo and the curve coming onto boost is not all that pretty. It has a lazzy curve.

Just the regular GT3076R - 700382-12 I just ordered the .63 A/R when I ordered mine. I sent Morrie an email early and he is trying to get his hands on some more GT3076R's. Housing he may even have in stock.

Nope cant find it anywhere....

I see the 3037 reffered to as the 3076 often, but Im guessing trim sizes are different in reality

Unless this housing is put onto the 3076 core and compressor cover?

yeah Garrett list the turbo as a GT3076R but when you get it it has 3037 on the tag. I just asked Morrie for the.63 housing when I ordered. I am fairly sure that unit come minus the turbine housing anyway, so it's just a case of choosing what you want.

The advert say it comes with .7 housing it actually comes with the .6 A/R comp housing.

Grab the garrett .63 int. gate not the butchered rb housing.

Mines not butchered its just a normal 4 bolt 3" outlet with a nice taper up to the flange. The inlet is central and square. http://upload.silviansw.com/CT18U.JPG (my old GT2871R on the left)

1679-6 is the part number for the housing

Its going to be done my Bill Kane at Adelaide Turbo Services, hes assured me that the custom tubrocharger kit he makes up custom himself is one of a kind in Australia and is a very nice direct bolt up replacement for my stock manifold 2 dump. Hes quoted me well and has been a great help in changing my mind. Cant wait till next week when I go in.

    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
