Hey Y'all,

I recently had a great experience with an ebayer in California, so I thought I'd share it with the community.

This guy sells new Garrett & HKS BB turbos at very good prices. I bought an HKS GT2535 for $USD 850. By the time it landed (EMS) & I picked it up from the Customs gateway in Clyde, I was out of pocket $AUD 1134.52, and yes it is brand new in the box.

He emailed to say:

Quote:

For T3 flange the smallest I have is GT30R ball bearing units, and of course GT3540R ball beaing.

I also carry Nismo type Group N direct bolt on RB26DETT turbos for the Skyline. See attached image. I have special deal on these items for $750 each. They are full ball bearing, direct bolt on. 350 hp each (700 with two turbos).

So let me know.

I also carry the full line of TiAl wastegates and BOVs.

End Quote

Now I know I'm not supposed to promote other businesses, so if you'd like to know more details, send me a PM & I'll pass on his contact details. His shipping is fast & fully insured, communication really good & 100% feedback with many transactions.

Highly recommended.

Aint ebay cool?!

Ive bought thousands of $ worth of gear off ebay (ie, around 8k on my CBR900RR Fireblade alone; worth well over 12k).

Always had a great experience, and will be looking forward to grabbing a HKS turbo from this USA fella!

Cheers for the info, thats neat work BigDatto.

I think you mean "AAAAAA++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++" don't you? :D

Thanks for the headsup.

Edit: What's the go with warranty on these?  Is he an official Garrett (US) supplier?

ROFL, that's so true !

Not sure about warranty/officialdom, why not ask him. He does get good pricing from Garrett, & all his stuff is NIB AAAAA++++++++ :)

I don't have an issue buying a factory built new Garrett turbo with no warranty, would be a very different story for electronic goods & the like.

blk180: Thats USD. So x2 = $AUD 1954 at today's rate. Add shipping, somewhere between 100-150 total about AUD$2150. No import duty due to the Free Trade Agreement. How's that stack up against local prices ?

Oh yeah, he's cluey with Aust Customs, so i paid $0 GST. Sweeeet

im still having a few issues here understanding sorry :)

but did the 2535 cost $1130 ausd ?? as per your original post or was that meant to be usd ??

thanks again

$1130 Australian dollars. total. No other hidden costs. I've seen online retailers here in oz flogging the same thing for $3638. Good luck to em.

Man its a small world - I was almost going to try to buy that turbo myself off ebay!! So, he's a good ebayer?

Now, what car is this turbo going on? ie is it a straight fit onto a RB25DET (ive got a series 2 rb25det in my 1997 Stagea)... and Im not cluey what flanges suit what car.

Brendan

It did come with a T25 flange/5 bolt outlet, so no good for RB's as a single, But I just happen to have an HKS T3 .64 turbine housing from a GT2530 so a 5 min job to swap it over. It's going on an RB25DET.

ROFL, that's so true !

    • Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?
    • Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s
    • Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.
    • Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.
    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
