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.

      Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.

      Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.

      Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
