Whats the specs? and also larger pics and what do you mean by remanufactured?

the specs are inlet A/R is 0.50 outlet is 90 A/R. when i said remanufacted i meant that it has second hand inlet and outlet housings with brand new Center Cartridge, and gaskets. you can come and view the turbo if you want.

Price? Ball bearing?

there are some info on what a garrett GT turbo is, and i'm looking for $950 ono

Improved Turbo Life and Reliability

All Garrett GT-Series turbochargers have the provision for water cooling in the core. Water cooling helps control turbine core temperatures, and prevents oil coking on shut-down. Water cooling has been shown to improve turbo life and reliability.

Ball Bearing Core

Garrett’s patented dual ball-bearing core is the industry standard for ball bearing turbochargers. The Garrett system relies on dual angular-contact bearing races, which eliminate the need for a conventional thrust bearing. A Garrett dual ball-bearing turbocharger is over 4 times stronger in thrust than a journal bearing turbocharger, increasing reliability at high boost levels.

    • Hi all. I am aware there is lots of discussions about jacking points, where to lift the car and what not. But as usual just a lot of "in my opinion" and nothing definitive, and everyone does it in a different way. I want to hear from some experienced people on which points on the car it's okay/safe/recommended to lift the car using a four point hoist/lift. I will attach some images of my underbody. Sills are largely okayish, the driver side jacking point is pretty mangled though and it looks like the underfloor is slightly pushed in too, but I might be wrong. In the German Skyline forum, the consensus is to use the sidemember chassis rails in the front and the rear subframe? bushing in the rear. I know the manual says to never use the sidemember for loading but lots of folk do it and it was definitely done on my car too as they are slightly bent too. Based on the images, what points do I use to not make the already present damage worse? I'd use wood or rubber blocks to spread the load across a bigger area of course.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers
