Can I please just say that they're not "t51's"... They're "T517z"....

It's kinda like saying I'm buying some HKS GT253's for my car :Oops: :( :(

Yeh first time i read...

Anyone gone from GTSS's to T51's ????

I scratched my head and giggled i hope they are at least Kai versions...then it was like, oh yeh you mean T517z :D

I agree with Roy, most of the dead turbos we see have turbine and/or compressor damage. Very few have core damage and most of those are plain bearing cores.

It's a self fullfilling prophecy.............

plain bearings cores need rebuilding more often

so

they are cheaper to rebuild.

Yes, translated for those in metric land 278 KW's !... and watch this space, more to come yet !

jezzrrr, my car is currently making almost the same power (273 rwkw) with standard turbos. I reckon there will be more to come as well :P

I have Trust T517z's on my 32 GTR. They are a little laggy but when they come on (around 3800 - 3900 rpm) they are on to stay. A set of cams and cam gears, get it on boost a little earlier and no worries. Most of you may think this a little silly but 342kw on 24psi, at the rear wheels on stock internals I feel is not a bad effort. The only hickup which has just recently happened after about 1 1/2 years of running these turbos is 1 of the air flow meters let go.

Time to upgrade to z32's. For those of you who are interested the upgrades to date are the following:

Power FC

AVCR

HKS Fuel Pump

HKS 680cc Injectors

Turbosmart Fuel Reg

Apexi Pod Filters

Trust T517z's (8cm Housings)

Twin stainless split dumps

Nismo Exhaust

Trust FMC

plus the usual gauges, seats, steering wheel, rims, suspension upgrades etc. Mods to follow in the very near future are Z32 AFM's, Splitfire coil packs, cams and cam gears. Then start saving again for rebuilt motor.

So are the t517z below GTSS and 2530s?

Also, do they fit on standard dumps and manifolds?

No T517z are in the middle, depending on housing choice will dictate how far to which side of "middle".

To note they are bush bearing, and I've seen JAGR33's car go from 517's to -5s

Same power, better response all over.

There is a 517 graph on the the "dyno comparo" i posted a few months back.

Nismoid, how do I work out which housing the t517zs I'm looking at have?

What do I measure?

Would the 8cm or 10cm be better for a stock internal rb26?

Go the 8cm, less lag. The 10cm would suit a 30 bottom end....

yes but considering T517Z's are $1000 on ebay brand new, it's something to look at $ wise.

iv'e owned stock GTR turbo's and won't voluntarily again.

There is no way your going to get a new trust T517Z kit for $1k....

I have 10cm's... but I'd suggest 8's for street work and/or stock engine.

Blue32 made 427kw with T517z's (8cm2) on PULP and is making over 450kw (actual power not known as the tyres are spinning on the dyno) on E85.

Yeah right...

I nosed over 400rwkw with my 10cm's.... and that was pushing them as hard as they would go. An honest 430rwkw on 8cm's..... hmm

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
