Ok guys need some advice and/or help.

Ok, Im looking at either going high flow or bigger, say HKS 2830/35??? I know with the high flowed i dont need to change anything, bolt off, get it done, bolt back on. Are there any other say HKS turbos that will bolt onto the standard exhaust manifold or will I need to get one made up??(Which i can get done for literally nuthing!! wooo hooo)

At moment Im in the market for a cheap stock turbo 2nd hand in good condition just so i can get back on road for the moment, anyone have one laying around?? SYDNEY NEWCASTLE OR CENTRAL COAST PEEPS????

A few of the HKS turbos will bolt up to the stock manifold, although where you will run into problems is with the water/oil lines.

2530 seems to be a great street turbo if your not aiming for big (~240+rwkw) power, or maybe a 2535.

Theres a few good threads in the Force Induction section on the 2530 and 2535's.

Remembering that a highflow stock item will be a direct replacement with no other modification needed to bolt back on.

I've now got my old high flow if you need to borrow it until you get enough $$ together for something bigger and better. I'll PM you Brad.

OK, having gone thru some pain myselft with modding my skyline, my piece of advice is this.

The turbo is the holy grail of the power you get from your engine.

Depending on what you want to use the car for, will determine your power levels and turbo configuration. (ie Street, Track, Drag, Combo)

Once you choose your turbo, you build around it - Pistons, Rods, Bearings, Injectors, Cooler, ECU, Ignition, Cams, etc

(BTW I am talking perfect world situation - which never seems to eventuate hey)

Choose wisely and choose once.

Id be taking advantage of Mark's offer if $cash$ not there for you ideal setup (Very Generous of you Mark BTW - gotta love how club memebers help each other out)

And remember - once you up the ante on the turbo, you gotta look at the support systems and internals too - but I guess you knwo that hey !

Good luck Brad !

Exactly right Brendan. We both have lost money on the standard turbo -> high flow -> larger turbo.

I'm heading down to woolongong to pick up the turbo for you today Brad. You can run your 12 or 15psi no worries on this turbo and it bolts straight up.

If i were going to spend money on a turbo i'd at least get a 2530.

Good luck, get in contact with me if/when you want to grab the turbo off me. I'm on the northern beaches.

Jay: It was in excess of $6500

BMan: Thats what I was talking to John about, we worked out what turbo, then built around it. The 30/40 is what we want for in the end with all the other stuff. Must say though, the Microtech LTX12 seems to be the best way to go for aftermarket computers, I reckon better than the Power FC!!!!! Apparently the combo will run good even with stock internals!!!!! But they will eventually be changed to after i got this all setup!!!!

Mark: You are an absolute legend !!! It is appreciated greatly!

I ended up going to Wollongong for you to pick up the turbo yesturday, its sitting in my car now.

I've got my car in for a service tommorow and will be working back late.

I'll PM you and organise something so we can get you back on the road ASAP.

Do a lot of research before jumping in and buying the wrong turbo - I hope lending you the turbo will give you more time to think it over and get a good price at the right workshop.

Brad,

FYI

There is a Microtech LTX12 computer for sale at the moment on these forums. Might be worth your time making a bid on it if its a bargin.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
