I have an R31 with a vl rb30 instead of the Nissan 

I'm wondering what turbo I should get? I would be going for garret but iv been told to get either the T3 or the T03..

I'm not sure on which one to get and what the actual difference is.. any advice would be appreciated 

Not looking for heaps of power want to do the car up, drive it on the weekends and when I feel like having a bit of fun.

Any advice would be appreciated as well if you send could some links of any turbos or even photos of your set ups that would be good cheers

You have been told basically nothing.

 

 

Get a gtx3076 . But don't. Figure out heaps more stuff first, including rhat questions matter and what answer you are looking for.

 

 

Specifying your budget and desires is pretty important, you may have noticed some rb30 turbos run 15 second quarter miles and some run 7s.

That's why I'm asking questions so I can get an answer.... 

Like I said it's not meant to be a drag car 

Even abit more power then the factory vl turbo or the same.. 

So what's your opinion on which turbo to get then @Ben C34

He told you to get a GTX3076. Your choice then is between a genuine Garret one (which is $$) or a knockoff, which is cheap, and cheerful enough for an old datto.

He also told you that choosing the turbo is only one of many decisions you need to make. Fuel system, management, intercooling, gearbox strength, diff, brakes..... all of these things come before the actual power making device (when the car has none of them to start with).

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
