Hello gents,

I had my manifold up for sale but have decided to sell the whole kit together and move to a smaller turbo. Details are:

Genuine HKS highmount manifold (RB20) - Purchased new a couple of years ago and in perfect condition.

Genuine HKS 35mm wastegate - Comes with screamer and the usual goodies

HKS 28/35 (Has been rebuilt with HKS core and high flowed) - This turbo has done less than 1000ks since undergoing a rebuild with a brand new HKS core, and was also highflowed by the rebuilder (even though it wasn't asked for >.<). The rebuild was due to cracking a piston in the old motor which destroyed the exhaust wheel. The turbo itself was operating at 100% prior to this.

Also included is:

Turbo lines

Intake pipe (without pod filter/AFM)

Custom dump and front pipe (has location to plumb gate back in if required)

Asking $2600 for all of the above. It's a perfect bolt on option with no stuffing around organising parts.

I can be contacted on 0412 033 449 for interested buyers.

Cheers,

Ryan.

these are a good turbo, on my 33 im making 350hp at 17psi easily on a standard one. Boost comes on around 3200rpm.

What power did it make, and who rebuilt the turbo? Curious to know what was done to hiflow it, bigger turbine, compressor ?

Hey Roy,

Since I've had it ive only made 190 on 0.8bar due to injector and AFM restrictions.

As for the high flow I'm not 100% sure as it was done by a shop when the motor went on the previous owner. Ill msg him and find out more details :down:

Ok, previous owner doesn't know the specs of the core but it was done by Eastern Turbo Chargers in Bayswater.

I remember the story was that they highflowed it without his knowledge and then said thanks for the money. In any case, I would assume it has stock 28/35 specs and then you can be surprised later :D

Do you know roughly when it would begin to hit boost & when it would peak on the rb20?

Cheers.

Currently came on ~4-4.5k but that was with exhaust leaks and low boost. Could probably get it to come on around 4k depending on boost level.

Cheers for that..

If you've still got this in the new year, i may get onto you about it. :banana:

I have this set up on my 32 and mine strts @ 4000rpm then it comes on hard @ 4500rpm and mine limits at 8000rpm running 14psi its awesome and i love it GL with the sale dude

Awesome first post...

Really do not understand how this happens :blink:

me either mate but its fun and i'm not gonna touch it...lol, it has got bigger injector, aftermarket coilpacks and the ecu has been remapped so maybe its because of this stuff but yeah like i said its fun and im chopping alot of other skylines in it...hehehe

    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
    • You reckon? I have to disagree. Notwithstanding that at some point we may all be forced to do this to our cars if we want to keep driving them, there is absolutely nothing about an electric-converted-previously-IC-car that is ever good. EVs that are built by OEMs on platforms that were originally IC already suck, let alone the shitty outcomes that result from doing it as a retro to something that was actually built as an IC car. This is because the platform really needs to be designed to house the battery in a useful place (ie, down as low as possible) and the motors are properly located relative to the wheels that they have to drive. Converted platforms already suck at this. But when you try to shove sufficient battery capacity into a previously IC car, you can't put it down on/in the floor, because that space doesn't exist. You can't find enough space where the fuel tank used to be (if it is an inboard fuel tank) and you don't want to hang it out behind the rear axle line if you had a rear fuel tank. And there's not enough space in the tunnel if you still want to use it for anything remotely like what it was originally used for. The engine bay is too big for a motor, and you'd really prefer that the motor for the rear wheels wasn't in the front engine bay anyway. And there's not enough room where the diff was for a proper man-sized E motor. And then.... there is the complete lack of soul and emotion that is provided by EVs. There are some cracking restomods out there. Like the Alfaholics GTA thingo. But it is petrol powered. Look at the alternative EV version of a GTA restomod by Totem. it is jaw droppingly beautiful. But by all reports is is objectively awful to drive, despite having 600 HP or something, simply because there is nothing there. It sounds like a sewing machine or a leaf blower. It should scream and wail and make the hairs on your neck stand up. Oh, and it's 1500 bloody kg in a car that was <900kg when new. GTRs are heavy enough as it is without pushing them up to 2tonnes worth of pork.

    • hahaha @joshuaho96 the most action it gets is when I have to drive from West to SE VIC to meet the fam. Even then, it;s on highway cruising speeds
    • don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
