your options are;

1. get the current busted turbo highflowed - around $2k for a ball bearing unit

2. get a 2nd hand aftermarket turbo (hks 2530, hks 2535, trust td05, apexi ax)

3. get a new aftermarket turbo (hks gt-rs, hks 2835)

being in nsw ask the guys in the NSW area for a list of workshops, theres probably a list already

CRD and UAS are two workshops that come to mind in NSW , no idea where they are from blacktown

good concise answer but i think you forgot one more option:

4. buy a second hand one for only around $200-$300 and have it put on......if moneys tight...perfectly viable option

ah yeah sorry forgot 2nd hand stocker jobbie

Yeah Thats What I'm Trying To Do So I Don't Have To Worry About It Turning Into A Ball Of Fire (Exagerated I Know)

Just Finding One Is The Hard Bit, At Least Till I Got the Money For The Original To Get Rebuilt.

Just Don't Wanna Have To Get Stuff Fabricated..

Not A Fan Of Making Things Fit Just Want Them To, I Bought A E-bay t04e With All The Extra Fittings,

And It Still Wont Fit So I'm Selling It On E-bay For $300 Just To Make Back Some Of The Money...

Thanks Guys If You Know Someone With A Stocker Could You Drop us A Line It's A Series II Nylon Wheel Turbo

Thanks Again :laugh:

seriously throw the to4e in the bin

its not worth the hassles, costs and pain and its crap `1960s technology

get your stocker hiflowed (will last another 100,00kms) or buy a 2nd hand stocker for $300

a 2nd hand stocker will be better than an ebay to4e

hi nic

when a turbo is "old" the bearings and seals become worn

the actual wheels themselves are reasonalby ok

so when they highflow a turbo they rip out the bearing kit (known as CHRA) and replace it with a new ball bearing pack

they replace the wheels with steel wheelies (gets rid of ceramic and plastic wheels), balance it, and service the lines (oil and water)

the only parts that are "retained" when highflowing are the housings and compressors cover as they don't "wear out"

they even bore out the exhaust snout to get more "flow" out of it - hence the name highflowing

the only difference between servicing a turbo at its scheduled 100,000km interval and hiflowing is

they fit bigger/better wheels and bore out the snout exhaust hole to get more flow out of it

ok That clears it all up... your a wealth of knowledge for someone in distress, thanks paul

no worries

the main issue with fitting another 2nd hand jobbie is - its age and likelyness to fail

its going to be a 10+ year old plus turbocharger with cermamic wheels etc

and theres a chance (minor) that when it fails , it takes the engine down with it, need a full rebuild

so sometimes its better to just bite the bullet and pay for a highflow

but on the other end of the scale i have my rb25t with 185,000 on it and std turbo

with std specs and no highflow / rebuild etc so its 85,000 overdue for a 'overhaul' - the turbo is

so i guess you could say its likely to fail - i run 12psi and trash it

but i dont "think" it will take down the engine too when it fails - so i dont justify the $ in rebuild the turbo

sounds much like myself, the only reason this tubo blew out was because the cheap SH!TE boost controller that came with it loosened and ran 20 psi before my eyes... (Imagine eyes 3 inches out of my head)

they wont be able to tune it without a working turbo, and if it is still running, they will have to retune when you replace it

Thought so... Is It Possible To Just Fix The Oil Seal on My Turbo... NO Hiflow Or Comp Wheel Changes?

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
