Seen these for sale at a good price, they say they are hks gtss turbos off their r34 gtr but they look like the stock standard ones i have on my 33 gtr? Especially the numbers on the comp housing. Anyone able to shed some light? I have looked on sau and internet with no success :( thanks in advance

I didn't read the post properly my apologies I'm at work flat out if you're asking if they are dash 9 or HKS gtss I would say they are dash nines but since you said they could have come off R34 GTR they could also be dash sevens but they're not gtss that's for sure

Thanks for the replies. Just don't want to get burned buying them and turning out to be stock orm turbos. I have messaged the sellers email and phone asking how to tell they are not stock but he is not answering so just sounds suss.

Instead of cracking it apart you could just look for any build plate stamped on the core and see what that says.

They don't look like stock ones.

Numbers cast on the front covers are just ratios, not an indication of turbo size

Cheers for the help. But there are no plates on the turbo :( might just risk it and buy them. Guy seems to be genuine and the turbine wheel doesn't have the double hex nut, so indicates it might not be oem...

Or you could spend the extra and buy new ones so you definitely know what you are getting.

There is always a build plate on the core so request that and if they don't supply it then they are trying to hide something.

Oomph can be had from stock turbos that have had steel wheels inserted. that would be cheaper than what you're probably paying, I've got a pair here if you want.

Oomph can be had from stock turbos, 291rwkw and 11.1 @ 123mph :)

Without tags I would consider these the lowest spec turbo possible and pay what they are going for

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
