I sort of burned myself recently getting a hybrid Garrett GT BB turbo made up for the old dinosaur Subie daily - mainly because of something I didn't previously know .

In the past there has been confusion over what the differences were between GT25xxR turbos and GT28xxR ones .

How it works is that the GT25 turbine based ones use an older style 53mm major diameter 11 bladed 62 trim turbine .

The GT28 ones use a 53.8mm major diameter 9 bladed turbine in either 62 or 76 trim . For some obscure reason I'd always thought the 53.8mm 62T one was just a slightly enlarged version of the GT25's 53mm 62T one but that's not the case . I will find out later today but ATM I think the GT28 62T turbine may be a smaller trim version of the 76T NS111 turbine and most likely why the 28's small trim turbine has higher efficiency numbers than the same trim GT25 turbine .

Now this GT28 62T turbine I believe is std in the GT2854R and GT2859R/GTSS and the GT2860R-7 . What I had built was a GT2554R with the GT28 76T turbine fitted and its proving laggy on yon dinosaur flatulence four . I'd say its got a bit too much turbine for my engines exhaust gas flow so its not spinning the compressor wheel fast enough to make boost where I need it engine speed wise .

Anyhow I found a few pics of the bum end of a GT2860R-7 and a GTR spec GTSS/GT2859R so you'll know what this GT28 62T turbine looks like . Highly unlikely but if anyone has a trashed one with a usable turbine let me know .

Added two right hand pics of the old style GT25 62T 11 bladed turbines , note they can have hex head or three point stars on their centers for tightening/stripping .

Cheers A .

      C-red tuning?

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
