paul are you able to giv us these details/ I noticed aidwin had a vl turbo that was hi flowed... lots of lag but when it kicked in it packed a nice punch :-) thing that i still like about the standard skyline turbo is the nice low down spool up...... ho does the GT30 go with spooling up? when does the punch start kicking in? did you or have you had many probs yet with an external gate vent to atmo with cops?

These turbo's are similar to Aidwins, which has made 360rwhp at 17psi. His turbo isn't very laggy, on hard by 3500rpm. My GT30 is on hard by 4000rpm, and there are a few tricks we haven't used yet to make it spool quicker.

No, the cops haven't hassled me about the screamer, YET (touch wood)

GT25R has T25 flange right? Also, who in Perth sell them? Or is that another net purchase?

You can get them in T3 flange and the standard/hi-flow dump can fit,thats what I was told by some turbo shop here,they don't have them in stock but can get them from over east thou.

I think I've decided to go with an HKS turbo. Sly33 on these forums (not the famous WA numberplates) has advised that perhaps the 2530 is a little too small for the RB25 and that the 2535 may be better suited? Anyone have any thoughts? I'm still looking into the GT25R option though. I've decided against a rebuild i think. Just a matter of sorting out the $$$ now....(or lack thereof)

3037s are considerably more expensive than 2535. I only have modest power aspirations (absolute tops of 250rwkw) and am really after a very responsive replacement for my stock unit. I'd prefer a turbo i can bolt directly back to my car without any need to fabricate anything and also, one where I'm not required to change management (i'm still on stock ECU + SAFCII). These bigger turbos will be pushing too much more air that my ECU can deal with so something that's close to stock, with a little bit of a premium on the power stakes is all i'm after.

The 2530/2535's like a bit more boost to achieve their best . The power gets jumping with these at 1.2 bar +. A good highflow can make similar power at 1 bar or less. I'm sure there are plenty of power graphs to look at on the forums to get a better idea.

The ideal is to have a turbo with a better/higher average power delivery with boost being kept as low as possible to achieve the figure below 250rwkw.

yeah i'd just go a GT2540 instead of 2530/2535 if price isn't much more. only about 10ps output difference though between 2535 and 2540.

2530 - 320ps

2535 - 340ps

2540 - 350ps

the only internal gated 3037 i believe is the 3037 Pro S which is much more expensive than gt25**, output of 480ps which is way more than you want dave. im also interested in possibly upgrading my turbo in near future. just something that will be reliable pushing 300rwhp, 2530 would be perfect for that, but might be wasting money there, im sure there are better value for money options.

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
