Have either of you seen or bought from this company before. Yer i know a $1100 turbo will be good but tbh why not Dare to be different lol.

Worst case Scenario the thing blows and i get an excuse for a full rebuild lol.

I was posting on here to see if anyone had bought from the company before and had some actual feedback to give on the products.

Cheers C

Hey chris, good to see ya on the forums :)

yeah i'd stay away from monsta if I were you. we've had people come into the workshop with their manifolds which have misaligned bolt holes, badly cut gaskets and bad casting... and one person with a wastegate that was leaking from factory.

The VL boys here in melbourne seem to have it in their heads that this is a good product, and are often the ones conned into buying them. they're cheap and nasty. they ship quick and have a streamlined system, but their products are horrible.

Those turbo's are bad very very bad, i have heard storied of the turbo destroying itself after 10,000km then getting them rebuilt and only lasting another 5,000km due to the inferior metals and build quality plus i know monsta claim that the turbos are balanced when they are made but im starting to get they impression they the person who does the balancing doesnt actually know how to operate the machine.

eyah most of those cheaper turbos arent balanced, thats where the main problems come from. look at KKR turbos instead, still cheap and chinese but with proven reliability

that said, go do a quick search on calaisturbo.com.au you'll find a few threads on monsta, alot of people say they are unreliable etc, but they're are quite a few people on there using em, only posting good things, so meh, who knows

I know its not a turbo but i bought a set of dumps..and they were absolute shit. They look good until you try and fit them, bolt holes dont match, bend and angles all wrong.

Have some respect for your skyline and dont put monsta shit on it.

      Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)

      Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.

      I’ll have more of a look into Recaros over the weekend. It’s taken me 2 days to figure out which Bride seats suit my application haha.

      I am aware of their presence, but the product page looked like that conversion will eliminate the AWD capability. Fact remains it's kind of a hassle to send my oil sump halfway around the world and buying an extra one is expensive and unnecessary. Before I go hat route I'd explore more local options.    Would you recommend I just pull the engine and renew as many things as possible since I'm already having problems with some leaks? Would have to get an engine crane first though.

      Shifting questions

      Are there any indicators that the vehicle is in limp mode?  Any dash light, or something.  Or is it just lack of acceleration?
