I sourced most of my parts from SAU second hand from good honest people, thats why i love this site..spread the love.

Paid $850 for GCG high flow only 2 years old checked by gcg , sold my stocker for $300 so cost me $550 and installed it my self, piss easy took about 5 hours and everything bolted straight back on. True direct bolton , nothing to change. If i can do it , any one can.

Apexi power fc=$950 second hand SAU

Nismo 550injec=$600 second hand SAU( need injectors to max out turbo potential)

Bosch 040 in tank fuel pump=$50 second hand SAU(needed to meet fuel demands)

Splitfire coils=$450 second hand SAU(needed to run bigger gap on my plugs, went from .7 to 1.1 coppers when i upgraded coils.

JJR return flow coooler=$450 new

3 inch exhaust turbo back full stainless=$650 wreckers

Greddy profec b EBC

Run stock air box.

Tune=$750 unigroup engineering

My set up is begging for a garrett gt3071 or 76r bolton replacement and retune but this exercise will cost me between $2500 to $3000 , to gain an extra 30kw atw on my current set up. The only way i would justify this would be to take a ride in a gtst making 280kw + . If blown away by the difference then i would do it.

For now im at peace with what i have.

Hope i helped.

geez i rang GCG today and was quoted $1900 to highflow my turbo. sorry but just to clarify, you bought the turbo from them 2 years ago, or? maybe they raised the price.

He's grabbed it 2nd hand i suspect, lucky grab @ that price. Most people sell them around 1200-1300. :whistling:

Although I don't know what GCG "checked", given you need to pull it apart which means a new cartridge @ around $900-$1100 before you start as its basically rebuilding.

So maybe they just looked at it with their eyes or something tricky...

I purchased the turbo from SAU forums for $850 second hand in good conditon. Called michael from GCG and quoted the Job number stamped on turbo and then he gave me the build date. It was only two years old. GCG is in my neighbour hood(condell park), went in and saw michael and he visual inspected turbo, he reckons it looked fine.

I wouldnt spend $1900 high flowing my stocker, just buy a gt3071r or 76r new or second hand.

When you are honest and generous in life things come back to you 10 fold. look after people and people will look after you.

Good quality second hand parts are all over this site and i have been fortunate to deal with good honest people.

Like JC says" love your neighbour as you love your self"

ahhh ok $850 second hand, thought i had missed something there hehe, thanks for clearing that up.

yeah well in that case if its gonna cost $1900 to highflow, might aswell cough up another $1100 and go all out with a GT3076R kit. :dry:

i picked up a used 3071 kit for $1500...was gunna get a hiflow but this showed up so took my chances, so far so good.. :D

Although thats said it probably wont make much more power than a good hiflow...maybe less and theres no warranty..

Just remember there is a reasonable difference between the two in response, I'd consider a GT28 whatever it is called, the next size down personally.

it will make it quicker... and that's what you want

i havent driven a laggy turbo car yet, though i think id prefer an epic punch in the balls sort of feeling than a constant fondling sensation, if that makes any sense whatsoever.

lag is ghey... 250rwkw by 3500 is more fun to drive on the street than say 350 by 4500

Hey guys,

With the 3071, which is the best housing to get for an RB25?

I figure that I don't want more than 275kw as it's a 1993 engine with stock internals, so i might as well get the one most responsive to around that figure.

Also, I'm guessing that these take the "normal rb turbo" style dump pipe? I've got a different v band sorta deal on at the moment (that's what the kkr turbo uses), so i'd need to buy one, do i just grab a dump pipe to suit a standard rb turbo or do i need a special garrett fitting? If it's a normal nissan one, i'm guessing that there is no problems using a screamer pipe? Is the 3071 with a different dump fitting a much better turbo? if so, i'd go that option, as I need to purchase a dump pipe either way (as long as it fits up with my front pipe, i'm happy)

Thanks guys :)

3071 with the original style 6 bolt rear Is a bit restrictive Ive been told and will only make around 260kw,Least thats what GCG told me.. whereas garret style rear will make closer to 290kw i think and spools up quicker..

      Nismo copper mix twin “pull” pedal height engagement

      The clutch pedal has a procedure for adjustment. This can only be done after you are 100% sure the system is absolutely free of air bubbles. You must bleed the clutch master cylinder first, then the "separation pipe" which is the clutch damper line, then the operating cylinder as detailed in the service manual. Also, you must fully depress the clutch pedal between shifts. Just because you can't feel it grabbing does not mean the input shaft is truly decoupled from the crank. At high RPM clutch plates are vibrating and moving around, you need to give it the best possible chance of success. On the BCNR33 Nissan revises these adjustment procedures slightly but not by much: I would be careful with trying to play games with these adjustments. As for the Nismo operating cylinder they say a lot of things. In practice the twin plate clutch needs less movement on the clutch fork to disengage because the whole stackup of the flywheel + friction plates + pressure plate is much taller. Personally if you find that the clutch still disengages too high at the top of the travel I would try the Nismo operating cylinder. Make sure to follow the air bleed procedures.

      Thank you for the links. I’m going to go with the 6pin plug you used. next step is rust treating re painting dash support bar and steering column then the 6pin cradle plug when it arrives in the mail.

      I don't how much the car makes a difference or whether it is just a question of gearbox and clutch. On mine it's fine. Pull type Nismo coppermix twin (standard, not competition) on the 5 speed in my Stagea. OEM slave cylinder. Bite point is a few cm off the very bottom of the pedal. Clutch pedal all the way down to put in gear, and when heading off at the lights, there's a tiny bit of nothing and then it starts biting. And fully engaged before the pedal is all the way released. There's a bit of play at the top where the pedal does nothing anymore. Are you in Australia @ck_chino? If you are set on using a Nismo slave cylinder I have one new-in-box at home. Ordered it together with the clutch but didn't get it fitted. We can work something out if you want it

      I am using a pull nismo coppermix twin in an r34 getrag box, had both the standard slave and  then the nismo one. Adjusted pedal to get bite point how I wanted , it is on the higher side, but would fully disengage past half way down.  I also read that the nismo slave won't work but I had no issues with the stroke, might become one later as clutch wears but 2+ years of happy motoring so far.  Take the above as one input only, specially as my setup is a bit unique in that I am using an S15 clutch master , cefiro clutch pedal, custom braided clutch line. Lots of variables at play.
