Well have a look, its in your own best interest to shop around mate.

You'll soon see if the price is good or not, there are heaps of turbo sellers in Aus and prices can vary month to month depending etc.

re: delivery times, ring them and ask em how long.

GCG, MTQ, ATS, ATP etc, all sell turbos, all are fine

I have no problem with GCG as they are local to me and so it's convenient.

They are a bit pricey on a few things but having local support is worthwhile so it doesn't bother me so much.

You don't want a malpassi reg. Waste of money.

My other issue is the fitting kit. It is handy as it has all the bits you need to fit up the turbo but if i were to do it again i'd look at getting the water lines in braided speedflow or earls lines rather than the heat sleeved rubber the gcg kit comes with. I have already cooked one and have since redone the water lines.

If i were you i'd find a local turbo supplier for all of the little bits and pieces like gaskets and lines, check the traders forums for good deals on the turbo and wastegate, manifold etc.

It can be hard to get to talk to Brett Lloyd of GCG but there's not alot going on in the Garrett performance turbo world he doesn't have access to .

BTW the 7 year HKS/Garrett exclusivity tie up is long over so basically if Garrett make the parts he can supply if available ex Garrett Japan .

IMO the Garrett marketed GT3040 (GT3082R) is a dog , that's not to say it won't work it's just that you can do better .

The GT3540R (GT3582R) has a larger turbine that's better suited to driving that compressor wheel .

Again IMO if you must use a GT3040/GT3082R get the HKS spec one because its compressor is an 82mm 50T rather than an 82mm 56T and more within the capabilities of the GT30 turbine .

Comp housing wise the HKS spec 50T version uses a garden variety T04S 0.70 A/R one so nothing special on the cold side .

Gotta run , cheers A .

on the topic of garret turbo's from gcg...

whats the general opinion of the gt3071r (internal wastegate) with the gcg rear housing/6bolt dump for a rb25's?

simonr32 had very good results with that turbo. He'd be the guy to comment on it. I know cubes has commented how well that turbo works with an rb25 somewhere on the forum

      Hello, Newbie, anyone know my 32's history?

      By Leigh_Mack · Posted

      Hello,new to the group, I bought a R32 from auction recently, wondering if anyone knows the cars history, seems to have the usual go fast bits on it, plan is to do an engine swap- add 2 extra cylinders and 1 extra turbo. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i4rjmlzubjbwjtguh6f4s/IMG20241011140744.jpg?rlkey=q0lumm251377vknbqktfwrycq&st=7scvwx4e&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ro24qmwzlczzlfsr4y05x/Screenshot_2024-10-10-10-49-23-90_9a2f5bb2149dae94cd1e190effc09b33.jpg?rlkey=oyguh26ttshlf04ccp48odf4v&st=xloae97b&dl=0   New to forums and posting pics, if links don't work, take it easy on me, 42yrs old and I tune carburettors!!

      2020 Nissan Skyline 400R V37/Infiniti Q50 RS insurance in NSW

      By sonicii · Posted

      As far as I know, Infiniti stopped importing vehicles before 2020, even though they were still selling their stock for at least a year or 2 after that, they were older build years, therefore, you can import a 2020 400R, because you couldn't buy an AuDM 2020 built Q50 RS. As for insurance, you might need to go through one of the enthusiast insurance companies, they tend to insure a lot more grey import models than the mainstream insurers as Duncan mentioned.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
