Did I Get The Correct Wastegate Actuator?

Hey guys,

Ive got a GCG high flow turbo on my R32 with RB20DET and my stock actuator has given up and the wastegate just flaps around all over the place so I went to GCG today to buy a new actuator, he sold me a HKS adjustable actuator for a R33 but assured me 100% that it will still fit my turbo,

I was paranoid because my stock actuator arm has a kink in it to clear the compressor part of the turbo but this HKS one does not, the guy at GCG told me that the bracket on the HKS item is slightly different and will bolt up with no worries,

Can anyone tell me from the pics below if I will have any troubles bolting the HKS one up or will it just go straight on with no clearance issues?

Stock one on the car now:

HKS one I purchased today

Any help greatly appreciated :D

davo, it'll fit mate. You see how the stock actuator has the kink in it but the bracket is straight?

the hks actuator has a kink in it. So it pushes that big knob out sideways.

I know that it fits on r33s easily. Should also fit on the r ugly poo. I know there's less space to the strut tower, but it should fit.

Haha. You know why I say that? :unsure::)

I have a friend who has an r32, and he keeps saying f**k this is ugly, should have bought an r33 like yours. Everytime I hear him say that, I crack up so hard.

We actually have an r32, so it's not like I hate them or anything. I've noticed that r32 owners always start first in saying calling 33s boats, whales etc. so I figured ... :D

the new actuator you have purchased bots onto the back of the compressor housing where the bolts are.

the standard one is on the front of the comp cover.

so when you unbolt the standard one thro it in the bin, then undo the two bolts on your comp cover and bolt and adjust accordingly.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
