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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
