Morning.

As everyone would know. I've got a GT30 coming for the car.

BUT there is a problem.

The supplier is telling me that Garrett are out of .82 rear housings and that it could be months.

I think he is telling a fair bit of the old :bs!: to me...

So im gonna do some of my own homework as 3 weeks i've been waiting and im getting mildy pis*ed off at this stage.

So two things that i need help from everyone with.

1) Is anyone else having these sorts of problems with the .82 rear housings from Garrett ?

2) Does anyone have a contact number for Garrett Australia (sales preferrably) so i can ring them up and find out what the deal is?

I've looked in the Yellow Pages and aint really come up with anything usefull in terms of contact numbers :P

Any help on this would be much appreciated. I just wanna get the car running at the least.

Sorry this isnt helping you with garrett, but how much minus the turbine housing. The reason I ask is that I bought a housing from the US, it took about a week and costs less than $500, that was for a HKS GT30 housing.

Also, have you tried different suppliers? perhaps approach the west coast? some one like per4manz?

I cant remember the name of the supplier, but it's not directly off Garrett im getting it from.

Actually i think this supplier is in WA. I've sms'd my mate who's organising it all.

So i'll have the name of the place today hopefully.

But the story goes that Garrett have said they have no .82 rear housings left in Aust.

I find that very hard to believe considering it's one of the most popular set-ups.

I havent asked just for the front.

Might be worth a shot. Thanks for the idea Steve, once i sus out where i stand that could well be a option. The dollar is mighty strong ATM :P

Ok, the place is MTQ Engine Systems.

Or the old Dynamic Turbo Chargers.

I still need a number for Garrett though so i can ring them personally.

Anyone got it????????

And Nathan... you CAN have my turbo. They've been around for yonks now.

You cant tell me they dont make a GT30 with a .82 rear housing yet. :zap:

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
