Paul where can I get a HKS GT-RS for $2500. I would apprecciate your help.

Paul will I get water and oil lines for $2500? Or will I have to pay for them, as well?

for $2500 you can get a hks gt-rs kit and then sell your old turbo for $500 (if it works) so $2000 changeover

it should come as a complete kit too.

$1000 for oil and water lines?

Ease up on the bullshit mate.

What are u on about mate. Ring em yourself and hear their rubbish first hand... thats what they told me... how can u even comment :D

I call these other company to find out what the turbo would cost.

I wanted to purchase a HKS GT-RS turbo was told it will cost $3600 at best.

So I call someone else and was told to call another guy and his price was $2500 for for a Garrett GT-2871R.

And I would have to buy all the lines and gaskets too.

So the truth is this the HKS GT-RS will cost $3600 and the Garrett will cost $2500.

Thats for you help.

If you have a budget of $2500 and a minimum goal of 250rwkws with fast spooling, get the HKS GT-RS that you already mentioned.

Definately reach your 250rwkws and up to around the 280 i believe plus the kit on nengun delivered is $2276 with EVERYthing needed for a bolt on job.

No worries mate... If people could be bothered to search and find out the facts before saying someone is talkin bullshit im sure they'd be as suprised as i was, sure the turbo costs $1700, but to be able to put it on your car "yourself" its $2600. What if u were payin for someone to install it...! more!

I agree selling the old turbo will help but finding someone to buy it would be the problem...

I bothered to do a search. Because you are from SAU you get it for $1692 just for the turbo.

If you get the kit it costs you $2340. That's a $648 difference. A far shot from $1000. Also I'm told the kit comes with:

-20mm Spacer Kit which comes with studs and 2 gaskets to suit.

-Gasket Kit including genuine Nissan dump pipe gasket.

-Oil and Water line fitting kit.

-Silicon reducer elbow 2.5" - 2.0" for the intercooler plumbing.

That's a bit more than just oil and water lines. Now maybe that's still expensive. I don't know. What I do know is that you told us almost $1000 for oil and water lines.

Look i dont really care if u wanna argue your point, but the fact is its still near enough to $1000 dollars more for a few gaskets and 2 hoses, you could buy gasket glue for the flanges if u wanted? I bloke from work did this on his 180 and its still fine. It just pisses me of that they advertise it as $1700 but in reallity if u intend to put the turbo on your car as im sure most of us do when purchasing a turbo it'll cost a fair bit more.

yes you could use gasket glue but that the shit house cheap way of doing it - and not properly.

Race tape works wonders for holding on a front bar but Nissan don't use it from factory. Because it's shit.

    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
