Just revising this one as I would like to know if there is any progress with the ZF box conversion for 32/33 GTRs that anyone knows of in Oz?
I had the ZF in my last car, an M140i, and the gearbox was fantastic and really did surprise me for a slusher.

I am noticing more and more HKS T51 turbos and full kits popping up for sale second hand. People asking $5k plus for turbos and around $10k for a kit which includes turbo, manifold, dump and waste gate. Are these becoming a collectors item or are people hitting some serious gear while typing. I priced up my brand new precision 7685 gen2 as a full kit and even if I go full RRP and include ceramic coating and beanie and oil/water lines, I’m still under $10k.
Am I having a man look and missing something obvious?
The main reason is that people are paying these amounts, hence the market price rise. I would think it is for nostalgic reasons and builds that are trying to stay period correct.... they do pull on my heart strings a bit and bring me back to the days of 90s Japanese drag racing at Central circuit where they were common, they sound pure evil too.
Can you buy a far better turbo? Of course you can, but that's not the point of the price rise.-

Yes it's an R32.
I bet your specs will be OK. AD08R are very wide 265's speaking. So the 2mm offset defference with my spec should be OK with a more conventional tire.
Ok sweet, thanks for that Jibe 👍🏼

Has anyone used this product and if so would you recommend?
I find Bowdens make great products for the price and in comparison to some of the other crap out there.

What buffer/polish machine does everyone use and recommend?
Rupes make great orbital buffers in a range of sizes and make quality products.

I see 3 pics of a gun metal r32 with panasport rims so I don’t see a reason why he also needs to mention what car they are on.
have you tried using any of the tyre/ rim calculators then going out to your car to take measurements?
I cant see those images for some reason?... Just JPEG symbols, that helps a lot then if it's a R32 GTR.
I have used rim calculators and it appears the tires at such a size should either clear or fail to clear by less than 3mm which is why I asked in case others have more knowledge on the set up.

Perhaps look at the post immediately above yours.....
I did mate, not much use to me with no car mentioned yet profile states S13?? Presuming it is an R32 GTR my set up differs by just 2mm which might be just enough to give me some scrape action... hence why I asked if anyone has run this exact set up.

Hey guys, would I be right in going with 18x10.5 +22 with 265/35 on my R32 GTR with no guard mods or aggressive camber? From what I have researched it appears I should be fine depending on what tire of course, cheers

Hey guys, I have an R32 GTR which is relatively stock yet I have plans to improve the car overall as a street and odd track day car. Looking forward to gaining some knowledge on the forum and finding where all the cheap parts have gone!!
Will most likely go a responsive single turbo set up and look at improving braking, cooling, oil distribution etc.
Cheers peoples

Awesome back to back data 👍 and talk about a sleeper! With intake temps that high I would also consider a nice partition around the intake as well as a larger volume cooler as suggested.
