Well i dont wish to rain on your parade...

Considering that you can buy brand new GTSS turbos with all gaskets etc as a kit for 2800 off nengun.com and a 2530 turbo kit for the same price (without actuators), with all gaskets same case etc delivered, some people might not think its worth the gamble on paying 2k for used turbos and then spending another 300 bucks on gaskets.. levelling it to $2300.

The pain with nengun.com being the 1-2month wait.

I think your price is reasonable, personally id be willing to pay $1500 for the 2 and maybe 2k as a MAX for a used set. Its prob hard to compete on the forums when a few other guys are selling new rebuilt ones for your asking price (highflowed and nismo ones).

Then again its of opinion.

I have posted up a dyno sheet of 371rwkw with my 2530's, I have yet to see GTSS's come close to that, I dont think you can compare those 2. Pretty sure Dirt Garage ran a very low 10 with 2530's, and I know that Mine's prefers them.

Last week I drove an R33 GTR of a freinds who runs GTSS's, it makes 250rwkw, my S15 was quicker, but thanks for the input anyway.

Like I said I have just got an R34 GTR, I would rather fit them to that than sell them for less than they are worth. Your correct about second hand, but you can always check with Nigel (Racingline) to clarify the condition.

The reason I am, holding back on fitting them to the 34 is past experience, I just know I'm going to fit a T88H-38GK to it one day, I dont want to pay labour costs twice like I have before, but its an option.

cheers

Ahh..k, well I just made 264RW KW on friday on my gtr with stock dumps, stock turbos and the rest of a hks exhaust (front pipe, highflow cat + catback @ 3.5inch) @ 14psi.

Dno whats happenin with your mates gtr...

I believe the GTSS's will definately get you over 300 rear wheel kw.

Obviously they wont reach 2530 standards of power being 30hp or so less in flow per turbo (going by garretts specifications) but theyll prob cop 50kw less with more response. Depends what you want at the end of the day.

Anyway having previously owned a doneup s13, i dont think the GTR will ever feel as fast as the feel of a silvia based car or similiar. You just know your gtr is faster when you passively munch people off the line lol.

- But back to the topic, someone buy this guys turbos lol. - free bump.

Ok a noob question. :)

Are the 2530s the older version of the GTRS?

Yeah your mate's GTR with the GTSS making 250rwkw is definitely having some issues. Unless he is running on like 7psi or something. My gtr makes 265rwkw on stock turbos already. :banana:

Sloutch, there's dyno sheets, then there's dyno sheets. I have a Dyno sheet from a well respected tuner on this forum that shows my GTR making 378rwkw with 2530's, standard pump, standard airflow meters, 660cc inj, standard cams, on Shootout mode.

He then switched to his regular set up which gave an accurate figure of 331rwkw, runs done 5 minutes apart.

When the car was dynoed at Ice Performance, it registered 280rwkw, although the boost controller was off. After cams, Z32 AFM, Tomei fuel pump the car made 358rwkw, with further tuning it got to 371rwkw.

I wouldnt be surprised if it made 400+rwkw in Shootout mode.

I will not post the first 2 dyno sheets up because this guy is so well respected on here I would get shot down by everyone.

So Sloutch, is your dyno sheet in Shoot out mode ???? Who's dyno ?

?????? Please read the post extra extra CAREFULLY.

i'm not doubting your turbos can make 378rwkw.

i was just wondering howcome your mate's GTR with GTSS turbos only makes 250rwkw as quoted from you, that's all. So were you trying to say that people spend about $3,000 to buy and install a pair of GTSS to make less power than stock turbos?

I dynoed mine at Chasers with 14psi on 265rwkw. Anyway, good luck with the sale. These 2530s are good turbos for people who wants good response.

This thread is over a year old, well from its last responce.. and your comparison is a bit off.. his selling 2530's not GT-SS

http://www.nengun.com/hks/turbo-kit-gt2530-gtr

GT2530's from nengun are $4920 excluding local customs and taxes

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
