Hey all.

Is $3000 a good price for 2 R34 N1 turbos brand new out of the box?

Cause mine just arrived today :bananaman there alot bigger than i though very nice hopefully i can get them in soon. customs only charged me 120 bucks to get them into the country... btw that 3k to my door they actually only cost me $2650 for the turbos.

better than the 2900 gcg wants for direct replacements and thats each.

very little to fit and ill get the dumps and the rest of the exhaust done at the same time. Benifit of having family that run auto shops.. from exhausts to tires which saves me a bit of coin.. still have to pay but i pay cost plus a bit so they arent loosing too much.

im not looking at any particular dumps im just going to give the car to tuggers exhausts and say i need my exhaust done from turbo's back, so what ever they think is best, they did everything on my mazda and its was an awesome setup!!! they will prolly make custom dumps for me, micka and fred down there really know there stuff. we will see how is goes :(

Yeah i am thinking of dynoing it before and after. will have to see how the funds are going.

Yeah they always show me what they are thinking of doing and explain why it would be good to do that way. its what they did the the mx6 and it did exactly what they wanted and was more than i asked for.

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
