so besides those hks and other very expensive turbo's,there are no known others that are a direct fit?? why are brand new turbos so cheap on ebay?? and yes i know if i want a good one i should expect to pay good money but i am only after a new turbo rather than massive power,as long as its a little better than stock... :)

I recently bought myself a stage 2 hi flowed Slide turbo. Had intended to fit a cheap T3/T4 turbo, but it is quite large. Also the Slide turbo will have the power where I want it. So I no longer have a use for the T3/T4 turbo I purchased. :D

if around $1800 to $2200 is expensive for a direct bolt on is expensive then you have a problem. usually costs about $300 to swap turbos at most quality workshops. the HKS turbo option allows you to sell your standard turbo for $300-400. the GCG option means you either canibalise your existing turbo or better still you find a broken one suitable for hi-flowing.

some of the turbos you see on Ebay are name brand turbos BUT you then need oil and water lines, a new dump pipe, possibly spacer plates, intake piping modifications plus the cost of labour of these modifications. your $1500 turbo looks pretty pricey at the end of all this stuffing around.

back to the topic of JJR dump pipes

I called Daniel with the measurements of my existing s2 dump and pipe back to the cat

the dimensions I read him out matched the dump they list for the stagea- so fingers crossed thats right

back to chuckies comments- I think a lot has changed since he got his - so maybe things will fit easier now

I have been assured by JJ that it will fit..

    • Welcome. This is not really true. We have a whole forum here just for the NA shitboxen. And they are not very different from the turbo shitboxen. Just weaker brakes and gearboxes, and no LSD, for the most part.
    • I'm pretty sure it has an 040 in it @Duncan Also reading up, that turbo should top out at 250 as you first thought. It will be interesting to see how early it chokes due to the changes in the head too
    • Yeah confirmed they are Nismo 555s, found the boxes in the spares with the factory injectors in. Yeah the AAC has been relocated to allow reuse of the factory brake booster line, and yes confirmed it has a 1 way valve in it. Unfortunately the one on the car is cracked, I'll need to replace it. Pretty sure I've got all the AAC plumbing correct in my previous post, but I am going to source some new fittings with 90o angles to help with the hose routing and also one really specific moulded shape for the AAC intake to cold start hose (will raid the back of our local repco when I get a chance and work out some combo that works) One of the big things I learned in the GTR is you need to be able to get your hands all around the bay when something goes wrong. I've done a bunch of re-routing now and it should be much more practical now. Also got the BOV mount re TIG-ed by the local engineering shop so that should be good to go now. Never got to the fuel pump because of some life stuff today, but will pull it to confirm it is suitable for 300rwkw when I get a chance
    • Hello everyone, I am from Malta and have recently bought myself a fully stock 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS. It has the RB20DE engine and thus is NA. Unfortunately, not a lot of information can be found online related to the GTS, unlike the information for GTS-T and GTR variants. Apart of the Skyline, I also got a 1984 Porsche 924 2.0l NA and a 2002 Renault Clio 1.5DCi for everyday use. Excited to be apart of the community and perhaps get better information on cars such as the GTS.
    • The fuel pump bracket just slides straight up.  Below is a pic I stole off a site. But basically put hand in for fuel pump, wiggle it all about a bit while pulling up.
