Hypergear use ball bearing garrett cores from memory.

Colin im off to tasmania in 2 weeks, i don't think i'll be able to afford them

OUCH

That hurts. I've got around 6 months left on good behaviour (read: 1 point) and my gf is 1 month into her 6 month suspension... I feel your pain :(

True... funnily enough I just came across your ad on boost from November, selling an Rb25 turbo. You still got it? I might be keen, to send off to hypergear/GCG to high flow it...

Yeh, you can have it for free. Pretty sure it's sitting in my shed. Will check when it stops raining.

I did 12 months good behaviour in my r32. daily driven to work and back etc, with no speedo. and some mexican wheels

Ok, having opened the curtains, it appears it hasn't been raining for quite some time. Will go and check if that turbo is floating around.

On a side note, thinking of selling my meisters. Anybody interested?

Having braved the elements, and a family of lithuanian huntsmen (giant farkers. gotta go back into the shed with a few cans of rid when i work up the courage) I still have the turbo. Let me know if you want it.

Size ?

I'de just like to ad Ive never been caught for anything in the GT-R only my shitty little corolla run arounds :(

I was on a GDB period and lost the point a couple months from finishing :(

^^ I can relate, recall one time when I lost the good behaviour point 1 week before time up. Farken sow she was too.

Hahahahaha sweet, I'm touched you'd go to so much effort for little old me ;)

I'll inbox you about it yo

18x10 +22 all round

I will put up an add shortly.

Just in the process of buying another set, and can't afford to have 3 sets lying around.

well techincally, can afford, but just not allowed by the hugs and kisses.

it's a general rule of mine not to argue with pregnant women....

not a bad price

could be a good option Martin, and when/if you get some cash further down the track to upgrade, could make your money back to re-sell it...

Thanks Jezza, but that would be a DOWNgrade. Not going to happen.

I like that attitude.

There is a 35r with a manifold and a 50mm wastegate for sale in the QLD section....

You know you want full boost at 4k+ :D

In other news, Thristian doesn't love me any more :(

At this point I have had far too much makers mark to come up with something even remotely funny....

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
