I have for sale a standard turbo off an R34 GTT which I bought off eBay on the 19th of Feb 2005. Here is the URL for the eBay auction - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...=ADME:B:WN:AU:1 And I remember it was for sale on these forums too but I can't find the URL for it, anyway...

The original seller claimed that the turbo had travelled only 18,000 kms and never been boosted. I bought it as an upgrade for my R32, however the turbo arrived and things went pear shaped from then.

As you can see in the pics, the exhaust turbine blades are cracked - not good. These turbos have ceramic turbines and break easily when over-boosted etc. And being ceramic, had they broken in transit or similar, the cross section would be clean ceramic - these are not, and have been this way for some time. It will work but it wouldn't be long before it completely shatters. This turbo requires a new blade and shaft which I have been quoted by Garret Turbochargers themselves at $380. Fitting and balancing is then extra. That price is for a steel blade and once sorted, boost can be wound right up to 25-ish psi i'm told. I unfortunately can't afford this at the moment and have decided to cut my losses.

The good news however is that compressor is in top condition and spins freely with no shaft play. Once sorted, this turbo is a straight bolt on for any R32 / R33 GTST and R34 GTT and an awesome upgrade for any 4 cylinder Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Hyundai etc with the right manifold. These are rated from standard at 206kw and with the steel exhaust blade and the right mods, 240 - 250 rwkw would be easily obtainable. It comes with the exhaust gasket also.

I've been burnt off eBay so I just want to get rid of it. I'm not out to rip anyone off so I hope me being honest nets someone a good turbo project.

ASKING $250, offers considered. Sydney buyers preferred as i'm sure you'd want to inspect this one before you buy it. I will courier interstate at buyers expense.

If anyone requres any further info or wants more pics, please call me on 0414 959 991 -

cheers Matt
