Hello,

I have an HKS GT3037S turbo and wastegate that I may sell, depending upon which car I get next. Just wondering if anyone out there is interested? Not sure what price at the moment. Specs are as follows:

HKS GT3037S Turbo with

56T trim

0.6 A/R Compressor Housing

0.73 Exhaust Housing

HKS External Wastegate (50mm I think)

Cheers!

Just an update, I actually have 2 GT3037S turbos. One with a 56T trim, the other with a 52T trim. At the moment, the 52T trim turbo is damaged - turbine wheel needs replacing. I am going to send this turbo to Garrett in Sydney to see if it can be repaired. If so, I will sell one of the turbos but not sure at what price, it depends how much it costs me to fix.

I am not sure if I will sell the wastegate as well, because I may decide to keep this. So most probably the turbo will be the only thing for sale. I have a pic of it if anyone is interested, but I don't know how to post pics on this forum?

People interested can email me at: [email protected]

Once again, be reminded that I won't know a price until it's repaired, IF it can be repaired that is. Ball bearing turbos, as you might be aware, are quite difficult to fix. But if you email me, I can send you a pic of the turbo.

GR8NES: The turbos are the same, except the the compressor trim. With one being 56T and the other 52T. I am not sure whether this can be changed, because I don't think you can buy the compressor trims separate. I heard that HKS don't deal with repairs and the likes because it's very difficult to repair and balance their turbos. But Garrett are more willing to help.

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. I am aware there is lots of discussions about jacking points, where to lift the car and what not. But as usual just a lot of "in my opinion" and nothing definitive, and everyone does it in a different way. I want to hear from some experienced people on which points on the car it's okay/safe/recommended to lift the car using a four point hoist/lift. I will attach some images of my underbody. Sills are largely okayish, the driver side jacking point is pretty mangled though and it looks like the underfloor is slightly pushed in too, but I might be wrong. In the German Skyline forum, the consensus is to use the sidemember chassis rails in the front and the rear subframe? bushing in the rear. I know the manual says to never use the sidemember for loading but lots of folk do it and it was definitely done on my car too as they are slightly bent too. Based on the images, what points do I use to not make the already present damage worse? I'd use wood or rubber blocks to spread the load across a bigger area of course.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers
