The new GT30R is being presented to me on the 4/1/06 which is an internally gated T3 flanged turbo with the 0.63 A/R housing. The compressor still flows around 50lbs/min so will be good for power figures near 500hp and still maintain early boost. These will bolt straight on to your existing stock housing with the only change needed being braided oil and water lines. Even with the cost to adapt it, it should still be around the same price as the highflows but with more effieciency so less boost will be required to achieve the same result. PM me if you are interested.

Ok, sorry to get everyone's hopes up but here is the bad news:

The turbo is basically a GT30R with a hole cut in it above the turbine for the wastegate. Then they have bolted this housing thing over the top which has the flapper built into it. They have it all closed off except the turbine hole 2.5 inch which is where the wastegate gases have to exit also. This means that the dump pipe is no longer T3 but a three bolt triangular config and also means that your standard dump will not bolt up to it.

I expressed my disappointment to him about Garrett failing to come up with a decent idea. I showed him how it should have been made and we both can't understand why Garrett chose to do it the way they did.

He is going to get back to me on some grafting options where your existing exhaust housing may be able to be adapted to a GT30R front. This, I am hopeful, will achieve the task.

Other than that....if you don't mind paying $2000 plus an extra $600 in adapting costs, let me know....lol.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.

      The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned.

      Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?

      I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
