Hey guys. Don't know if there's already a thread on this. But just wondering if I could get a bit of advice. I've had many mixed opinions about this topic.

I currently have and R32 RB20 (4 Door) with just the right amount of mods. I've done what I can without taking that next big step... Turbo choice!

I'm think I'm tossing up between a GT28 RS or maybe a GT2530 or or somthing similar from the Apex-i series or the TD- series. All proper precautions have been made.

Just after some feedback, thanks guys.

Sava.

True that. GTRS huh? That's what I was thinking. I mean, I'm not after massive amounts of power just something a little more punchier than waht I've got, something that will light them up with ease.

Although I've heard that the TD-05 could a likely contender. Might be a little easier on the pocket as well.

Anyone have one on their Skylines or know anyone who has?

Any info... Cheers.

Does the TD-06 have T3 flange though?

Why don't you try one of the Garrett range. They a much, much cheaper than the HKS alterantive and every bit as good in their function and their quality. Try www.turbobygarrett.com for a starter. There are a large number of retailers, a search on this forum will give you a start. There is also an interview with their manager/director in this month issue of Zoom.

I've been told to have a look at The GT2860R, could be a goer, but not sure if I'm after something that big, I can't really find a mid-way point with any of the GT series. That's why I thought somehing from the TD range.

I think you mean the RS - just pays to be careful with the nomenclature. The GT28-60R is for the RB26 (You need two for that motor - part number 707160-5 or 7). But have a look at their comparison sheet for the medium sized units. Address should :D work http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...rison_sheet.htm

Then dig out the compressor maps to find out how the airflow matches in with your requirements. Don't just pick a turbo based on it's descirption of 300hp or 500hp or whatever hp.

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
