G'day everyone!

I have a technical question that i cant find any info on - on here, so thought i should ask.

Purchased 2x new Garrett 707160-5 / GT2860R turbo's for the 32 GTR.

Tag on them Labelled from Garrett - 707160-5 / GT2560R

I went about changing the pieces over and came to the oil drain pipes, they dont fit !?

The original Drain pipe bolt holes are spaced much further apart compared to the new turbo's mounting position.

Has anyone had this issue with their swap of turbo's or are the new ones labelled wrong and henced supplied wrong?

Does anyone knnow what the deal is with them labelled 2560 not 2860 also?

Please help.

Many Thanks

Harry

Yeah Garrett in their infinite wisdom decided to change the oil drain side to T28. As stated above you'll need to file them out to match the other holes. You may also note that one of the comp cover bolts will foul on the oil drain. IF you don't grind an angle on the head of the bolt it will stop the oil drain from sealing properly so make sure you do that as well

Those turbos are 2860s. The 707160 number shows that, they just must have put the wrong tag on them.

Also make sure the oil drains seal real good, use a new gasket and tighten the f**k outta those bolts. They are the biggest pain in the arse, imagine replacing the turbos and everything only to find that the oil drains leak. Then you have to rip them off all again to seal them up again. That's been the story if my life for the last 2 days :)

Thanks for the help guys.

GCG called me back today, these turbo's are designated under GT2560R now. (707160-5, 707160-9, 707160-10)

You can buy a kit from them now for the drain pipes with this new size - XTR420043.

You can find it here:

I have one coming, i'll let you all know if it sorts the issue with having to file the compressor housing bolt for clearance also.

Still, this doesnt help if your like me and have the Nismo oil catch can. The Nismo fitting needs to be modified to this new flange size to bolt up.

I might see if they can make an option part for that also.

Cheers.
