hi boo5tr, got a VQ30DET turbo (similar to VG30)

its good for around 215rwkw on 1bar.

good upgrade for RB20 & RB25.

only thing u need to do is remove the rear housing from old turbo and put it on this so it bolt straight up to your manifold & dump.

if you're interested pm me,

im after $170 and add $25-$35 for postage interstate.

Cheers

if it's going to take a few months to save up for a upgraded turbo, then it's probably not such a good idea.

the reason for upgrading usually would be more power, which in turn can cause more things to break...

get another good condition stocker on there, run 10psi, and you'll be fine. :)

i dont know what the original guys income is like????? all i'm saying is if he buys another stocker (12 ish years old) whats to say it will handle 10psi for long? its the luck of the draw, even at standard boost theres no guarantee.

just blew my stock turbo in my 33 its a 96 series 2.

I just put a r32 actuator in and it read 1 bar within 5 minutes she made a pop/whistle noise!!!lol

that is to bad

i use to run mine on 1bar a wile ago and was going to do it when i next go down to the track now im not ever going past 7psi i cant afford my car lol

but i have gone with out my car for a wile and it is hard but sometimes u have to. i say save-up and get a new turbo but dont go stupid 1bar is plenty

so i say go with something that can do 1 bar safely and if u need more power there are other things u can do to add that extra kick

Id get a new turbo if i were you.

Thing is with imports to be able to afford one means not just being able to purchase it, but affording all the dramas that go with imports:

high insurance costs

high fuel consumption + higher price of high octane petrol

chance of blown turbos

chance of blown motor

increased risk of speeding fines

increased risks of canary

If you require your car for work/uni with no other viable transport options being available then a skyline is not a correct choice of vehicle for you.

Barring that, my suggestion is that you take your car off the road for a few months, (which will help u save money) tell every1 u lost ur license due to the draconian traffic offence regulation in this state, and use PT/sponge lifts off parents/mates/GF/Sisters and save enough for upgraded turbo. At least you'll have a reward at the end of it all

      V36 Skyline Japanese Translation Document (Work In Progress

      By PV36er · Posted

      I know there's been no posts for 3 years, but figured it wasn't worth starting a new thread for my question. The nice Japanese lady in my V36 occasionally/randomly speaks to me whilst I'm driving.  Of course my Japanese is very rusty, I'm guessing it's to do with the Nav system? Anyone have knowledge on this?

      R32 GTS/GTST non driven wheel speed

      By bcozican · Posted

      there are probably many ways to do it for my bosch motorsport abs we used a r33 gtst abs front knuckle and modified the rear knuckle to allow sensor to sit and read understand time, effort and $$ but reading from anywhere else  you get diff chatter etc where you lose 30% ish in signal clarity compared to the above

      My R32 GTST From Canada

      By CanadianGuy · Posted

      Little more work!  Did some body work on the rear wheel arches and since the paint was a cheap spray job before figured I’d do something to tide me over until I wrap the car.    Colour might not be everyone’s choice but I like it and it’s only temporary, just hate having primer from the wheel arches standing out.    Keeping an eye out for a decent set of wheels to throw on now. Wheels and tires on the car are junk

      Anti Squat Kit

      By ianp · Posted

      Its likely to be 70% road 30% track usage, track usage will increase if anything. Decided not to fit it as I cant be arsed changing the bushes on my LCAs again 🤣 I did get the below back from GKTech though so they should work together     The anti-squat kit and roll center adjusters work independently since they change the rear lower control arm's angle in different ways. The anti-squat kit adjusts the angle from front to back, which impacts anti-squat values. Roll center adjusters change the angle side to side, mainly to correct geometry on cars that are significantly lowered. They might affect each other a tiny bit, but overall, you can think of them as separate.

      Anti Squat Kit

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction.
