thats what i was originally going to do. I sent them an email clearly saying what i was after and it was like i got an automated response saying to send my turbo in. I clearly stated thats not what i wanted to do as the car can not be off the road that long at the moment. So i figured if they cant answer an email properly what is the service actually going to be like... So yeah thats why im looking at other options.

Looks like a garret 3071r has come up at a really good price with dump pipe and braided lines etc. I think i might grab that as thats what the tuner recommended new. Also comes with the adapter flange for low mount.

yeah they're a good turbo.. GTX? or GT? and what rear housing?

Also who's your tuner? curious.

One thing that caught my attention here is that you say it comes with an "adapter flange". By adapter, do you mean a spacer (typically 10mm) so compressor housing clears the manifold?

Reason I ask, is that I believe some GT3071s were sold with cropped turbines and a T25 flanged housing (your RB25 stock manifold has a T3 flange). If this turbo you're looking at has a T25 flange and using an adapter to T3, you might want to think twice about it.

It's probably just me being paranoid on your behalf, but thought I'd ask anyway.

Yeah mate wrong term thanks for the concern. Its definitely a spacer for clearance. Picked it up came with everything. dump, front pipe, braided lines and all pretty bloody cheap. I just hope its in as good as condition as it looks. Its what you get second hand but saved my self a heap.

    • this is the reason we have more than one child right?
    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
