Well the start of figuring out why my car runs like shit begun last week, The turbo is on its way out - the impeller is loosened up and starting to rub on the houseing and its only a matter of time before it breaks and sends blades through my engine...

So a new computer and turbo is in order - I have done alot of reading about just getting the rb25 one hi flowed and rebuild but this seems to cost between $1500 and $2000, might as well just buy a brand new turbo.

Im not trying to get rediculous high end power I'd rather low end the car being a drift car. What can anyone recommend?

The GT2530 seems like a reasonable option good price and about the power output I want anyone put one on an Rb25?

I have been searchin the forums reading all sorts of mixed results, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and great news about getting your car back Nic!

I thought non-bb turbo rebuilds were under $1k and 2530s were more than $2k ?

Sucks about the turbz :

Depends on how bad the turbo is to start with and what gets done to it. My mates CT26 cost like $2500 for highflow and rebuild, exxy experience, but worth it.

a 2nd hand HKS 2530 should cost you between 1400-1800. They will be good for about 230rwkw, but the response will be fantastic on the 25.

You will probably find it will come down to what you can actually find. Bolt-on upgrades for RB's don't come up for good prices that often, and are usually snapped up pretty quick

G'day mate

I recently saw on Nengun.com that they have a kit which includes the HKS GT RS turbo along with four injectors, power fc and controller and GT RS kit for the RB25DET brand new for about $4800 delivered. Quite a fair whack of cash but you are getting avery good package at a very competitive price, Im trying to put the cash together myself as we speak. :headspin:

      Feedback on Carbonetics: R34 GTT cooling panel

      By IM-32-FK · Posted

      @DraftySquash @Duncan he's not talking about the part that sits against the radiator support, he’s talking about the lip that sits towards the front outside of the car. anyway I had a look at other cooling panels and came across this one https://justjap.com/products/carbing-radiator-cooling-panel-plate-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-t?variant=37829684134087&currency=AUD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Advanced feed&utm_content=Carbing Radiator Cooling Panel Plate fits Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T (Coupe)&srsltid=AfmBOoonzPDKqe9NgKi5U0AkFc2XvbXETGmNWvfNcyBT5DUZagMYHg9DZ70 if you take notice it’s the same shape.  well thankfully the justjap listing has a description and it says : - Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T Coupe (M/T -07/2000) this means it’s specifically for a s2. S2’s have different front bars to s1 so that lip with the 3 holes are *probably* mounting points for the s2 bar. im not 100% sure but im almost certain it will still fit a s1 bar

      Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
