the trust ones that jenkies is interested in. If they are similar to the N1 , id say they are fairly responsive, similar to a stock turbo, but build alot stronger so they can handle more boost.

i tried the search function but got nuthin :banana:

so ima ask it here, whats the widest wheel you can get on a 32 gtr? and the ofset you need to acheive this?? guessing around the 10-11 mark?? would be for a 18 inch wheel aswell

10inch wide with a +18 offset....

just wondering if anyone knew much about greddy t517z x2 suit gtr. power potential, posatives and negatives

cheers in advance

hey mark, where ya been bud?

I'm no expert on these snails but I think you may find they have journal style bearings as opposed to the Garrett style ball bearing

carl, what did you use for your glovebox setup? (materials)

its a piece of black plastic that is about 4mm thick that has been cut as a facade, and have put a couple gauges in there... used to have ebc inthere too, but i choose to abide the law nao :laugh:

i'll prolly be at villis if u wanna see it, im planning on re-doing it soon

I've been doing a fair bit of research on new snails...

t517z x2: Beware theres 2 types of housings, an 8cm and 10cm one. 8cm is equivilent to GT5860-7(HKS GTSS), 10's = GT5680-5(HKS GTRS) and SLED is correct that they aren't Ball Bearing. From what I've heard quite linear quite peaky compared to the Garrets.

The -5 is bigger than the -7 if that makes any sense.

Some specs here: Gtr twin turbo comparisons

I've settled for a set of 34N1's because they're supposed to be similar to stock response.

so that would be bout a 275ish???

i got 275s on mine dont ask me what rim size n offset though dont know. tires start getting pretty expensive at that size by the way :)

ur welcome to have a look when i get it going again.

1 of them (Samantha i think) was talking to my mum yesterday and said she thinks she knows

    • Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.
    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
