Nah GT2560-9s... the -7s are more like N1s

+1 for that. the -9 seems to be very similar to the GT-SS in power and response etc.

The -7s are definitely the N1 turbos. -5s more like HKS2530s...

Check out this link: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/tbroom/Turbos.htm. Some very good info on there.

However, apparently the -9s don't come with actuators which have to be purchased separately.

Apparently Garrett don't sell many of them, mainly selling -5s and -7s to GTR owners (Possibly because of the common misconception that the -7s are GT-SS equivalents on top of not having the actuators?).

When I asked overseas the answer came back that the 707160-9 turbo was what HKS sell as a GTR spec GTSS .

Just recently Garrett updated there web page to show two "GT2859R" turbo variants , the first being the 707160-9 and the second I think the same one but with actuators provided .

If you look at their web page it shows the same 446179-65 cartridge used in both so I suppose we assume they are the same turbo .

do you mean this : http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...0R_739548_9.htm

I would be more looking at this one: http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...9R_707160_9.htm

They are supposed to be a splitting image of the R34 GTR turbos, so worst comes to worst you can use the stock actuators on them.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
