hey guys.

Currently i have a stock r32 gts-t that is running the standard turbo. However its nearly on its way out and it is screaming, i was told that the vg30 was a good upgrade (the ball bearing one). Just wanted to know if anyone else on sky aus has used this before in this car and if so what does it perform like and is it any good? Also after i buy the turbo i will also install a front mount to go with it.

any advice or help appreciated

thanks niran

First up you need to tell us if you mind a little lag. If you don't then go for the vg housing with RB25 turbo. If you find one the owner will probably ask too much for it so your better off looking for a 2532hks or similar. For the money I'd go hks. Without knowing your goals how can we advise ? How much do you want to spend ?

Im running a VG30/RB25 turbo on my 33.

Its a VG30 rear housing and wheel on an RB25 turbz, I find it is pretty responsive still, and it comes on boost harder than the stocker.

oh realy. i might look around for that see if any one has that for sale. thanks for that

      Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...

      r34 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.

      Luckily for safety applications, with dedicated links not being used for any other traffic, you simply run ProfiSafe (or an equivalent safety comms protocol from other vendors) over the top of ProfiNet (if that's what you're using, or Ethernet IP if you're stuck in the world of American PLCs and not verking vis ze Chermans) and the redundancy is more about being able to know that you need to cause a system diagnostic lockout because you've lost one of your comms channels, rather than not knowing that you've lost your only comms channel. Granted, heartbeats and all that are possible and useable and all that, but some safety applications are are so time critical that you might not be able to afford a few milliseconds until the next check.
