I don't trust 2nd stockers, I do trust 2nd aftermarket turbos providing it is in good condition before it is being whacked into the motor.

and how do you know its in 'good condition' before whacking it into a motor?

I bought a hks2530 off yahoo auctions. Came in its original box and manual. No shaft play and looked good as new. Whacked it on the car, started it up and all you could hear was bearings screaching.

Rebuild revealed a flat spot on the bearing. Luckily cost of turbo + rebuild was still cheaper than the price muppets sell them here for

Selling my roof spoiler, $120 if anyone on here wants it, just took it off my car. Need to put an ad in the For Sale section but cbf right now haha

By turning the turbine wheel with hand, if it's smooth, good and pull front + bac and side by side for shaft play.

Done that twice, both pair of turbos have no issues and is pumping 300rwkw+

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
